Manchester Club Classics – Legendary Tunes, One Great Cause!
Join us for a night of classic tunes, great memories and Manchester clubbing nostalgia, celebrating the legendary venues that shaped our city's nightlife throughout the 90s and beyond.
From The Ritz, South, 5th Avenue and 42s to Richfields, the Brickhouse and Rockworld's infamous fish bowl 🤘 – we're bringing back the sounds and spirit of those unforgettable nights!
🎧 Taking to the decks:
- King Beak

But this night is about more than just the music.
Manchester has a proud history of standing together, challenging powerful interests and fighting to protect the places that matter to our communities.
Now it's time to bring that same spirit to the dancefloor!
💚 We're raising funds for Save Ryebank Fields, supporting the campaign to protect this precious local green space and secure its future as a community woodland and meadow for generations to come.
