10th Anniversary celebration event for Make a Scene
NON-STOP DISCO RETURNS! Our fourth party at the queer disco pub playing classic, rare and gorgeous disco like you’d hear at Paradise Garage or a San Francisco gay bar in 1979 but squeezed into a boozer near Piccadilly Station. Take me back to a time when we dressed up, stepped out and danced to non-stop disco all night. Grab a ticket, rock up and drop in. Open 8pm til 2am. Limited tickets on the door. Raising money through ticket sales and collections at the event for Rainbow Mind, a much needed LGBTQIA+ mental health wellbeing service in Greater Manchester. All disco all night…it’s literally non-stop! Meet us under the mirrorball and see you on the dancefloor. Tickets on the door or in advance
