After last year's all nighter at Concept Warehouse, Blasha & Allatt are back in full force on the most home of home turfs. You know this is going to be special! \n\nArtwork by @caballe.fosch\n\n***PLEASE READ OUR SAFER SPACES POLICY BEFORE ATTENDING***\n\nMeat Free aims to create a respectful, open minded and loving space where people feel able to express themselves on our dance floor without fear or worry. We feel truly lucky that over the last ten years Meat Free has been recognised as a warm, welcoming space for everyone. Despite ⅔ of us in Meat Free being queer, we never set out to solely be a queer party but have always prided ourselves on attracting a beautiful mix of people who have felt free to be themselves. But, we also recognise that we need to put measures in place to keep that sacred, so we hope the following document helps you to continue to feel safe and free in our space.\n\nThis document is a guideline, it should change as we learn and grow. It should tell you what you can expect from Meat Free and what we expect from anyone that attends one of our events:\n\nContinuous Feedback: We see our safer space policy as ever evolving; we will constantly review our processes with every event. There is a feedback form for each event which can be accessed here. Please feel free to let us know anything that is / isn’t working. All feedback will be reviewed and if feasible implemented going forward. We, the Meat Free team, are also continuously trying to educate ourselves on relevant social issues that people from all communities, particularly those that are marginalised on and off the dance floor. We value any feedback or constructive criticism. Please also feel free to get in touch directly on email or instagram if you feel the need to do so\n\nEthos: Meat Free is a space for everyone to dance, have fun and exist without any judgement from others. Please be mindful that your attendance as a privileged person may be unsettling to others who are occupying the dance floor, so keep this in mind at all times and consider how you conduct yourself. Please also consider taking the time to educate yourself on the hardships marginalised communities face on a day-to-day basis. This knowledge will give you a better understanding of the partygoers you’ll be sharing the dancefloor with.\n\nNo Photo Policy: There is a strict no photo policy at The White Hotel and your phone camera will be covered on entry. We want partygoers to fully immerse themselves in the clubbing experience without fear of having their privacy taken away. Occasionally, we may or may not have an in-house photographer who will be capturing shots on the night but only for people that have consented. If you change your mind, consent can be withdrawn at any time. Just email or DM us.\n\nDress Code: We want you to express yourself in any way you deem fit. Whether that’s with your clothes on, off, in fetish wear or casual. There are no expectations. The only advice we give is dress to sweat!\n\nZero-Tolerance to Assault & Harassment: This means no unwanted touching, including hugs, so please make sure you have consent before engaging in any physical contact with someone. This also means no wolf whistling or catcalling, and no inappropriate sexual comments or sexually based jokes, songs or taunts.\n\nIf you see partygoers in revealing outfits or bare clothed this is not an invitation to negatively comment or touch them without their consent. No Means No.\n\nTolerance: Racism, as well as ageism, homophobia, sexism, transphobia, ableism or prejudice based on ethnicity, nationality, class, gender, gender presentation, language ability, asylum status or religious affiliation will not be tolerated and you will be dealt accordingly and asked to leave the space.\n\nSafer Space Guarantee: We can’t guarantee our space will ever be 100% safe, but we will do our utmost to make sure it is. If at any point during the party you feel threatened or disrespected in any type of way please let us know as soon as possible – we will be wearing reflective armbands and will be dotted around the venue throughout the night. We’ll do whatever we can to rectify the situation there and then, but if it cannot be resolved instantly, we will make sure this is followed up after the event and make sure the right course of action is taken.\n\nWellness: if you or someone you know is feeling unwell please tell us immediately. There will be no judgement and we can help provide assistance and a private space until you feel better. Please look after yourself and those around you.\n\nStaff & Venue: Our safe space policy is extended to the staff working on the night as well as the venue and the neighbouring area itself. Please be respectful and mindful of this at all times.\n\nCommunity tickets: An allocation of £10 (no booking fee) tickets are prioritised for those who identify as trans, non-binary, QTIPOC or on a limited income. They are available on a first-come, first-served honesty basis, and are limited to one ticket per person per event. These tickets are intended to make our events more accessible. Please think about whether you qualify for these tickets before purchasing – and if not, please leave these tickets for those who do. Please email us hello@thisismeatfree.com or DM us on Insta if you require one","image":"https://images.ra.co/19f72a2a47332711fe88ec41d921894a41bd9175.jpg","genre":"Music","keywords":"Techno;House","location":{"@type":"Place","name":"The White Hotel","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"Dickinson St","addressLocality":"Salford","postalCode":"M3 7LW","addressCountry":"GB"}},"startDate":"2026-01-30T23:59:00","endDate":"2026-01-31T08:00:00","offers":{"@type":"Offer","price":"13.10","priceCurrency":null,"url":null}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Event","identifier":"2300749","name":"Sticky Heat's 6th Birthday with Jennifer Cardini and Kim Lana","eventStatus":null,"eventAttendanceMode":null,"url":"https://ra.co/events/2300749","description":"For Sticky Heat's 6th Birthday we are delighted to welcome the iconic Jennifer Cardini and Kim Lana to the DBA for an intimate 8 hour hour day rave.\n\nJen Cardini is most commonly seen playing at and headlining festivals including Glastonbury, Primavera, Sonar and Homobloc.\n\nBut for Sticky Heat’s 6th Birthday they are bringing her to the legendary DBA In Manchester for a very intimate 8 hour pub rave, deep in the heart of Cheetham Hill.\n\nThey are joined by residents Muddy Feet, Massey and Giannini.\n\nAs with all Sticky Heat parties, this will sell out fast, so grab your tickets today.\n\nDress to sweat.

So, we can't think of many better sparring partners than Danilo Plessow. Known to some still as deep house doyen Motor City Drum Ensemble.

Sweaty. Euphoric. Full-body liberation.\nWhether you are voguing, grinding, or just having an existential boogie under the strobes — you're home, darling.\n\nThe dancefloor is lawless. And the crowd? Delicious.\nFollowing on from our sellout event in July and our subsequent event in September, where we raised over £1000 for Trans Mutual Aid Manchester and donated 10% of proceeds to Rainbow Noir Manchester...\nThis time we'll be raising money for Manchester Pride 2025: Together for Creatives Fund.\nThere will be many talented queer performers to keep you on your feet all through the night, and all three floors of The Deaf Institute will be open, providing a huge space to dance and explore.\n\nThe main floor will feature your superstar DJs spinning the house, nu disco, and italo disco that we all love. Smoke machines and lasers galore, and thumping house music on an incredible sound system where the bass makes your heart skip a beat. :)\n\nThe second floor will showcase up-and-coming talented DJs from Manchester who are breaking into the scene. We are creating a space for new talent to thrive, vibe, and get us all moving! At Hello Darling, we believe in supporting creativity at all levels of experience to bring love and dancefloor heat — with the second floor promising to deliver the latest talent breaking into the DJ circuit.\n\nThe basement will be transformed into a diverse queer mini-market with stallholders from the Manchester scene selling their wares: queer accessories, kink attire, and everything in between. It will also be a chillout zone with low lighting and a playlist of dreams, allowing you to take a breather — and maybe even make out with the hottie you just met on the dancefloor.\n\nP.S. There will be glitter in places we won’t mention...\nSo don’t wait — buy an early bird ticket now and don’t risk missing out on this incredible queer metropolis!\n\nFollow us @hellodarlingclub on Instagram for updates and news related to this event.\n\n","image":"https://images.ra.co/984c6b116d98cce44d4ec2b8e12e5744a7c01bb5.jpg","genre":"Music","keywords":"House;Disco","location":{"@type":"Place","name":"The Deaf Institute","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"Grosvenor St","addressLocality":"Manchester","postalCode":"M1 7HE","addressCountry":"GB"}},"startDate":"2026-02-14T23:00:00","endDate":"2026-02-15T04:00:00","offers":{"@type":"Offer","price":"9.20","priceCurrency":null,"url":null}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Event","identifier":"2331129","name":"H2: yerbby, Baeldorf, Club Penguin, Lucky Bunny","eventStatus":null,"eventAttendanceMode":null,"url":"https://ra.co/events/2331129","description":"H2 is returning to its favourite venue, Stage & Radio.

With a back catalog of 35 years of djing, she’s also the proud mom of the queer record label KlubKid Records and held several club residencies since 1993. She's one of Berlin's quintessential dj´s with regular gigs at parties and clubs like Berghain/Panoramabar, Lunchbox Candy, Sisyphos, Gegen, Horse Meat Disco,…and has played at festivals like Garbicz, Whole, Pukkelpop, 10 days OFF, Lokerse Feesten, Queerport,…\n\nHer core believe as a dj and producer is to touch your mind, your body, and your soul.\n\nYou can find her music productions on her own imprint KlubKid records or labels like permanent vacation, Black Vinyl, Chez, Hed Kandi, MN2S, Jalapeno records, Sonar Kollektiv, Broadcite and many more.\n\nTaking over from Sherø we're bringing back local hero Ubri!\n\nUrbi's creative journey began as a dancer, singer, and musician and she's shown no signs of slowing down since her first DJ set in 2023, with a residency on Reform Radio, and regular sets around the UK as a resident DJ for NOT BAD FOR A GIRL and DO AS YOU PLEASE. \n\nSince her journey began, she's shared stages with many artists who have been instrumental in shaping her own musical identity so far including Lauryn Hill, Black Coffee, Kerri Chandler, Disclosure, Cinthie, Dennis Quin, Brawther, TSHA, salute, DJ Senc and Just Jam and She's already known for her dynamic sets and her commitment to inclusivity in house and electronic music and with her debut release 'Play It Back' receiving great reviews, the future looks promising for Urbi. \n\nOpening the evening affair we have Bent Hedonism's own Ki Jeal going B2B with Daisy. These two have thrown it down at the DBA, Red Light and share a mutual love and lust for the DIY scene. They'll be playing in tune to what you would expect from them at Bent but in their spare time they occasionally meet in the dry ice to get a dose of dungeon rap, noise and techno.\n\nFollowing these two will be iconic underground party heads Weaklings and Phantom Phallus (FETISCH! Leeds) who will be bringing a smoky, sexy, all femme set of gothy synthwave and slutpop.

Her sound is a mix of all kinds of odd dance music perhaps best described as “Amyl-Adjacent”\n\nRuf Dug from STRETFORD has been tearing around the underground for decades now and continues to push the boundaries, most lately by setting up an audiophile nightclub in a disused shopping centre unit over the road from his house. With only a few weeks left of Rainy Heart, Ruffy wanted to invite one of his top-tier DJ pals to come and show his neighbours what’s what and after a wonderful night playing together in November he knew that Subaru was the one.\n\nThe two tearaways knocked heads and have come up with something very special for Rainy Heart: “CRASH” - a night of Outsider Disco, Wonky Techno, Cosmic Dub & Gothic Trance. Expect to hear things you’ve never heard before, expertly mixed for all you weirdos. Come and watch two wrong’uns make it right.","image":"https://images.ra.co/682b453e177ca5bded7ff5d11c569a2a4f6c021b.png","genre":"Music","keywords":"Acid;Italo Disco","location":{"@type":"Place","name":"Rainy Heart","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"Stretford Mall","addressLocality":"Manchester","postalCode":"Stretford Mall","addressCountry":"GB"}},"startDate":"2026-03-14T21:00:00","endDate":"2026-03-15T03:00:00","offers":{"@type":"Offer","price":"5.50","priceCurrency":null,"url":null}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Event","identifier":"4745194","name":"ND Gals - March","eventStatus":null,"eventAttendanceMode":null,"url":"https://www.socialrefuge.com/event-details/nd-gals-march","description":"Welcome to The Neurodivergent Gals Club !

But for many, those streets of twitching curtains and pebble-dashed semis were – or still are – a place to call home.\n\nFrom Addlestone to Wilmslow, Tales of the Suburbs explores the relatively untold twentieth century tale of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer people in small towns and suburbia. Through remarkable archive material and original interviews, social historian John Grindrod reveals stories that are messy and moving, dark and funny, uplifting and extraordinary. Together, they reclaim suburbia as a space for all – or those that want it – where counter-cultural expression thrives despite the Neighbourhood Watch, and queer love and friendship bloom against the odds.","image":"https://the-modernist.org/cdn/shop/files/Screenshot2026-03-11at16.15.38_600x.png?v=1773247450","genre":"Arts","keywords":null,"location":{"@type":"Place","name":"The Proud Place","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"Sidney St","addressLocality":"Manchester","postalCode":"M1 7HB","addressCountry":"GB"}},"startDate":"2026-04-02T18:15:00","endDate":"2026-04-02T21:00:00","offers":{"@type":"Offer","price":"10.00","priceCurrency":"GBP","url":null}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Event","identifier":"2371501","name":"MELODÏQ: Community Party","eventStatus":null,"eventAttendanceMode":null,"url":"https://ra.co/events/2371501","description":"After a brilliant party last April on Good Friday, we return to the scene for yet another full day of antics!\n\nStarting in the courtyard, AKA the Queer Garden, and finishing the night indoors - we have a full roster of UK talent joining us for this one. some returning djs and some new to MELODÏQ\n\nExpect a day and night full of rhythm, melody and energy as the dial will gradually be turned all the way up.\n\nA special return performance from an incredible live act who played at this event last year will put a cap on things.\n\nThis event series is about supporting Manchester and the UK's grass roots venues, artists and community.

We feel truly lucky that over the last ten years Meat Free has been recognised as a warm, welcoming space for everyone. Despite ⅔ of us in Meat Free being queer, we never set out to solely be a queer party but have always prided ourselves on attracting a beautiful mix of people who have felt free to be themselves. But, we also recognise that we need to put measures in place to keep that sacred, so we hope the following document helps you to continue to feel safe and free in our space.\n\nThis document is a guideline, it should change as we learn and grow. It should tell you what you can expect from Meat Free and what we expect from anyone that attends one of our events:\n\nContinuous Feedback: We see our safer space policy as ever evolving; we will constantly review our processes with every event. There is a feedback form for each event which can be accessed here. Please feel free to let us know anything that is / isn’t working. All feedback will be reviewed and if feasible implemented going forward. We, the Meat Free team, are also continuously trying to educate ourselves on relevant social issues that people from all communities, particularly those that are marginalised on and off the dance floor. We value any feedback or constructive criticism. Please also feel free to get in touch directly on email or instagram if you feel the need to do so\n\nEthos: Meat Free is a space for everyone to dance, have fun and exist without any judgement from others. Please be mindful that your attendance as a privileged person may be unsettling to others who are occupying the dance floor, so keep this in mind at all times and consider how you conduct yourself. Please also consider taking the time to educate yourself on the hardships marginalised communities face on a day-to-day basis. This knowledge will give you a better understanding of the partygoers you’ll be sharing the dancefloor with.\n\nPhoto Policy: \nWe want partygoers to fully immerse themselves in the clubbing experience without fear of having their privacy taken away, different venues have different photo policies but you’ll always have a better time off your phone. That being said, you are allowed to take photos & videos however please no flash photography. We will have an in-house photographer capturing shots on the night but only for people that have consented. If you change your mind, consent can be withdrawn at any time. Just email or DM us.\n\nDress Code: We want you to express yourself in any way you deem fit. Whether that’s with your clothes on, off, in fetish wear or casual. There are no expectations. The only advice we give is dress to sweat!\n\nZero-Tolerance to Assault & Harassment: This means no unwanted touching, including hugs, so please make sure you have consent before engaging in any physical contact with someone. This also means no wolf whistling or catcalling, and no inappropriate sexual comments or sexually based jokes, songs or taunts.\n\nIf you see partygoers in revealing outfits or bare clothed this is not an invitation to negatively comment or touch them without their consent. No Means No.\n\nTolerance: Racism, as well as ageism, homophobia, sexism, transphobia, ableism or prejudice based on ethnicity, nationality, class, gender, gender presentation, language ability, asylum status or religious affiliation will not be tolerated and you will be dealt accordingly and asked to leave the space.\n\nSafer Space Guarantee: We can’t guarantee our space will ever be 100% safe, but we will do our utmost to make sure it is. If at any point during the party you feel threatened or disrespected in any type of way please let us know as soon as possible – our welfare team will be wearing reflective armbands and will be dotted around the venue throughout the night. We’ll do whatever we can to rectify the situation there and then, but if it cannot be resolved instantly, we will make sure this is followed up after the event and make sure the right course of action is taken.\n\nWellness: if you or someone you know is feeling unwell please tell us immediately. There will be no judgement and we can help provide assistance and a private space until you feel better. Please look after yourself and those around you.\n\nStaff & Venue: Our safe space policy is extended to the staff working on the night as well as the venue and the neighbouring area itself. Please be respectful and mindful of this at all times.\n\nCommunity tickets: An allocation of £10 (no booking fee) tickets are prioritised for those who identify as trans, non-binary, QTIPOC or on a limited income. They are available on a first-come, first-served honesty basis, and are limited to one ticket per person per event. These tickets are intended to make our events more accessible.
