HOW DOES IT WORK?

We believe firmly that group events should allow everyone attending to get an equal opportunity to shoot with each of the models. We arrange attendees into groups of three and then rotate each group around the sets in turn approximately every 27 minutes or so. Our events are run with precise timings so that it works for everyone involved with a short break between each set. On this event each attendee will get to work with each of the six models in turn

ABOUT THE VENUE

Heaton Park Tramway Museum is run by the Manchester Transport Museum Society Ltd and is a registered charity, set up in the early 1960s. The Society’s aim is the preservation of documents and artifacts relating to public transport in the Manchester region.

The Society reopened the former tramway siding in Heaton Park having unearthed the original tram rails which had been buried under layers of concrete. There is now a fully functional tram network in place and a range of restored trams from the early 20th century. Session Days will have three trams for our exclusive use on the day of our event and we will be transporting attendees from the entrance to the park to the tram shed to start this event. We will also have a vintage car and bicycle for a variety of story telling images.

There is free parking on site and we have a first class lineup to suit the theme of the venue. There is also a cafe next door to the event.
