The Black History Market 4 All was officially opened by the Mayor of Manchester.

The day was a huge success people had the opportunity to take a tour of the baths, visit stalls and exhibitions, have a go at drumming or African dancing and tuck in to some delicious food!

This has turned out to be yet another great day for Victoria Baths. There is a lovely feeling of warmth and friendliness among the people in the building. Once again the building is alive this time with a multicultural atmosphere, drum beating and African dancing. We are very proud to welcome everyone.

This is such a beautiful building. Its a shame its not used as a swimming bath. The friends of Victoria Baths are doing everything they can to open the building.

Its open for tours on the first Sunday in the month from 12-4pm.

"This market has been diffrent to others we have attended in that the visitors and stall holders have been more diverse. There's been lots of really intresting stands and lots to learn about. It's not the usual."

Victoria Baths is remarkable, in fact its a unique place. Lots of exhibitions. Right now there is a gorgeous dressed African lady showing us how they sweep the floor in Africa. Every effort must be made to save Victoria Baths, which means so much to so many people.
