This giant bee sculpture pays homage to The Haçienda

The Hac-Bee-Ender bee was designed to celebrate Manchester's legendary nightclub

A giant bee sculpture which celebrates Manchester's most famous nightclub has been unveiled.

Featuring images of Ian Curtis, late lead singer of Joy Division, and Happy Mondays dancer Bez, the sculpture was designed by artist Justin Eagleton.

This sculpture is part of a bigger art collective that will be brightening up the city this summer in a free public art trail called Bee in the City.

The Hac-Bee-Ender can be seen at The Printworks in Manchester city centre from July 23.

Earlier this year, The Haçienda was named as one of England's most important sites.
