From all-day DJ parties over at Freight Island to some Friday night comedy to kick the weekend off, here’s our rundown of the best free things to do in Manchester this week…
If you’re up for a big one this Friday night, look no further than Stage & Radio as House 96 and BKR have collaborated to bring attendees a five-hour long FREE dance party full of all things House, Dance and everything that you never knew you wanted to hear.
Head to the Rose & Monkey this Saturday night, where you can catch the last apprentice of the legendary Roger Eagle and original Untouchables, DJ Martin the Mod. Expect an eclectic, vinyl-only set, spinning right through into the early hours.
End the week on a high at Freight Island for the latest in the venue’s cracking Spring Summer Series. This Sunday, London-based DJ, radio host, compiler and music consultant Sam Don will be taking to the decks, promising to keep you grooving for the entire day.
