Olympics on Exchange Square


Watching play on what must be the brightest hockey pitch ever - that blue and pink is so garish- but somehow adds to the atmosphere. Manchester's Exchange Square is partially packed with people, sporting activities and flowers while you watch the exploits of Olympiads a mere 200 miles away down south. The screen is a permanent fixture and relays all manner of sporting and cultural events from around the globe, sometimes even live opera, which I really would like to see here.

A guest post about my visits to the London Olympics is at the Smitten by Britain blog- Olympics for All!

  1. this would be a fun way to watch - far better to have the fresh air than dim bar, methinks.

  4. You are right about the colours, a bit too much for me. Here in Leeds we have a similar screen in Millennium Sq.
