Dive into the hidden heartbeat of Manchester’s music scene – from BYOB warehouse gigs to intimate basements echoing with vinyl and sweat. These aren’t your typical listings – these are the places where stories start and legends play before they’re legends
Behind roller shutters and tucked down alleyways, Manchester’s art scene thrives in the shadows. Explore independent exhibitions, zine fairs, studio takeovers, and graffiti havens that turn concrete into conversation.
Community-run film nights, storytelling events, experimental theatre in shipping containers – this is where Manchester gets weird, wonderful, and wildly creative. These are the cultural happenings that defy the norm.
Discover the city’s ever-shifting constellation of makers, collectors, and sellers. From pop-up record fairs to thrifted gems and small-batch baked goods blink and you’ll miss them, but that’s part of the charm.
