Walk the Plank is building a Wild West-inspired Wagon part pop-up stage, part DJ booth, and more, inspired by Buffalo Bill’s visit to Salford 150 years ago. In 2026, Salford turns 100 as a city. What do you want to celebrate?
Tell us where the Wagon should go next summer and what your neighbourhood would like to make happen - from a fashion show, to karaoke or a food festival.
We’re looking for everyone: residents’ groups, movers and shakers, creators, connectors, introverts, extroverts, eccentrics, conformists, the others and the outsiders and all Salfordians - old and new. All are welcome, and everyone’s invited. Please share this information and spread the word.
