We’re finally nearing the half-way point of January and I’m sure many of us are still trying our hardest to keep to our ‘spend less’ New Year’s resolutions.
So, to help you out in the cashola department, we’ve rounded up five of the best free things to do in Manchester from ceramics exhibitions at The Modernist all the way through to mid-week raves at Ramona…
Head to Ramona this Wednesday to shake up the working week with a key member of the SEXY LADY MASSIVE and phenomenal DJ, SELECTACEE, taking to the decks for her spin on the legendary Radio Rave.
Put on your dancing shoes and prepare to be taken on a Sonic journey of some of SELECTACEE’s favourite sounds via her mixing prowess that’ll be sure to keep you grooving all night long.
If you’ve not made plans for Friday night, look no further than Band on the Wall’s weekly free night out, La Fiesta.
This week, attendees can look forward to Yaas, a new, high energy post-modern jukebox style trio, performing all your noughties chart classics bangers, with a spicy twist.
And, to top it all off, cracking Manchester-based DJ Alec Waters will be doing a genre-spanning set that’ll be sure to keep the party going until the early hours.
Head to Manchester Museum this weekend to check out their Wellbeing Takeover featuring a number of workshops and activities which will be available to drop in across the day.
From city-mapping, story sessions and Chinese tea ceremonies to sketching challenges, calligraphy workshops and even a denim up-cycling stall – this is a great way to cure those dreadful January blues.
Get yourself over to Ducie Street this Saturday night for an evening of all the best electrifying beats brought to you by the venue’s resident DJs.
Attendees can look forward to a proper good array of tunes from house and techno to disco and funk, ensuring the warehouse vibes are nothing short of immaculate.

Swing by during opening hours to catch local artist Alison Waters’ latest ceramic exhibition at The Modernist.
Her hand-built stoneware ceramics are inspired by her hometown of Stockport, where modernist, industrial, and contemporary architectural styles stand side by side with this collection largely inspired by the modernist car park screen designed by sculptor and public artist, Alan Boyson.
