Before you book: affiliation, age, ID and refundsHow listings work

whatnightout brings together public listings; it does not make an event university-affiliated. Words such as “official” come from the organiser unless the source itself is a university or students' union. Check the ticket source, refund terms, age limit and student-ID rules before paying.

Planning Freshers Week in Manchester

Freshers schedules are published in stages, so it is worth comparing individual tickets, multi-event passes and official students' union listings before committing. whatnightout keeps the live event list separate from the organiser's claims so you can check each booking at its original source.

Manchester's events scene covers every genre and format, from intimate basement sets in the Northern Quarter to large-scale productions at Depot Mayfield. The Warehouse Project season from September to January is the headline draw, with lineups spanning techno, house, trance, drum and bass, jungle, and hip-hop. Year-round, the city's clubs and venues run regular programmes of electronic, indie, and live music events.
