From Beavertown parties over at Wilson’s Social to jazz-fuelled evening at Matt and Phreds – here’s our rundown of the best free things happening in Manchester this week…
Another NQ favourite, Wilson’s Social, is throwing a free Halloween bash this Thursday in collaboration with Beavertown to bring on the occasion with a beer-fuelled bang.
Be sure to wear fancy dress in exchange for free cans of Beavertown but, if costumes aren’t your thing don’t worry as the lovely lot behind the bar will be pouring £5 Beavertown pints all night.
Manchester Poetry Library is hosting a special Black History Month poetry event this Thursday dedicated to celebrating the rich and diverse voices of Black poets.

Factory International is hosting a great series of talks giving space to artists in times of upheaval this week with Palestinian author, Adania Shibli, sitting down alongside poet, writer and artist, Victoria Adukwei Bulley, for an illuminating discussion on her practice.
Adania Shibli is one of the most exciting voices in contemporary fiction today, with a prolific output that spans novels, plays, short stories and narrative essays. She has twice been awarded the Qattan Young Writer’s Award-Palestine in 2001 and 2003.
Anarchy Studios is throwing a Spooky Shindig this weekend. The full-evening affair will see the likes of Willsy, Coyle, and Savannahh and Hxnds Off take to the decks to get you in the groove.

Blending European harmony with American jazz all while a vibrant Celtic-inspired piano runs throughout – this is sure to be a great post-work chiller of an evening.
