The Midnight Run is a walking, arts-filled, night-time cultural journey through urban spaces. It gathers strangers and local artists together to explore, play and create, whilst the city sleeps. The Midnight Run aims to break down social barriers and provide a platform for established and emerging creatives, bringing moments of genuine interactive creativity. 

Not all those who wander are lost – J.R.R Tolkien

 

"It just takes you places and makes the city really magical. It feels like there is a sense of community here today."

MNR Runner

"When people finish MNR, they feel reconnected with their city. They see the potential of architecture and the built environment...and how they can exploit that for they own creative endeavour."

Kit Caless, MNR Facilitator

"I have been to two Midnight Runs and enjoyed them so much, each time I forgot that I was working."

Amaia Arbizu, MNR Artist
