Manchester - Every Saturday night

FREAKSHOW

11pm - 5am @ The Studio (above Mancunia), Bloom Street, Manchester

(Please use the separate entrance on Bloom St - NOT the Mancunia entrance)

Freakshow is back! Manchester's best loved Saturday night 'House' club is returning from Saturday 19th June in a brand new home, this time within the gay village.

Promoter Gareth Chapman says 'We have listened to peoples feedback and the only criticism we ever received was that the club was too far away from the village'. 'When the No1 Club suddenly closed we were inundated with offers from over half a dozen venues within the city but one stood out head and shoulders above the rest'.

The new venue for Saturday nights will be above Mancunia with its own, (warehouse style) entrance on Bloom Street. Pass through the wrought iron gates, up an amazing 'New York' Style metal staircase, past some nesting pigeons and you will find us!

The Studio will be Freakshow's very own space exclusively for the night on Saturdays with the full Freakshow team from the old No1 taking over each week including Pat and Craig on the door, the amazing Freakshow DJ's and Entertainers and Production & Decor that you have come to expect.

Featuring the infamous tough, chunky house from Freakshow DJs Jason Guy, Nik Denton, Gregg Holden, Pysche, Lawrence Clark and Lee Yeomans.
