Climb the wall for Oxfam
19 Aug 2016
Oxjam Manchester Takeover and Rock Over Climbing are teaming up for a fun packed day of climbing and bouldering at the Oxjam Manchester Rockover
This event on Saturday, 17 September is suitable for all ages and abilities and will include introductory sessions to kick off the full day of activities and music. It has been organised by the Oxjam Manchester Takeover team whose members include Emily Marsden from Alliance MBS and Dalinder Sall from the Photon Science Institute.
Oxjam Takeovers are amazing multi-venue extravaganzas that literally take over a town or city for the night, showcasing local emerging talent and raising lots of money for Oxfam. They are a massive celebration of local music, organised by a team of exceptional volunteers.
