A topless feminist glow-in-the-dark paint rave is coming to Manchester
Where you become art
The UK’s only topless, feminist and inclusive blacklight paint rave is coming to Manchester next week, for its first party in our city.
People are invited to Party In Your Pants for five hours of blacklight body doodles and banging beats at The Bread Shed on September 22nd.
The ticket price includes all paints, pens and powders to doodle on your body and clothes, and the free all-night cloakroom multi-pass means you can get as naked as you like, at your own pace.
Described as ‘a musical mash-up with more mess per minute than any other party,’ at this event, ‘toplessness is optional, only pants and respect are compulsory’.
The party features a patented Splat-Attack Tunnel – where you can get shot at with paint guns for a crazy colour fest.
There will also be holi powder, silly games, fancy dress and a ball pool for some absolute mayhem.
Event organisers say ‘it’s a sexy art thing, not an arty sex thing’ and ‘mermaids and other mythical beings are welcome’.
The event page reads: “This is an event for the enlightened. If you can’t understand the concept of desexualised nudity, this is not the place for you. WE ARE NOT A SEX PARTY. (We can’t help it if we’re sexy, though – liberated humans just are!)
“For every feminist, whatever your gender, come and experience your equality and your liberty the Doodlecats way.”
Customer reviews include Georgina, who said about her experience: “It’s awesome! Best event I ever went to.”
“Always amazing,” raves Lilianna and, “Run by excellent people. Super colourful, super messy, super fun,” adds Holly.
Tickets for Party In Your Pants cost £22.25 and can be purchased via Skiddle.com by clicking HERE.
You can also buy supporter tickets, priced at £22.75 – for people who are able to donate money towards discounted tickets. There’s also discounted socialist tickets – for people who may be on a low income, priced at £16.75.
Party In Your Pants starts at 10pm and goes on until 3am (with last entry at 1am) on Friday, September 22nd. The event will be held at The Bread Shed, 126 Grosvenor St, Manchester M1 7HL.
This event is for people aged 18 and over only.

The Cube Live adds three exciting new games for the perfect team day out
Everything you need for an incredible day out
Urban Playground has taken things to the next level, revealing three brand new games for thrill-seekers to sink their teeth into.
The Manchester Arndale entertainment venue, which is already home to an impressive array of games, has added even more fun to the line up.
From mini golf to arcade games and loads of food and drink, Urban Playground has everything you need for an incredible day out.
Manchester’s Finest Group
They’ve now added three new games to The Cube Live experience, ahead of the upcoming Christmas party season.
‘Pass’, ‘Exit’ and ‘Locate’ are the three new nail-bitingly tense games, and you’ll recognise them all from TV.
In Pass, two players rapidly weave a foam brick back and forth between free-standing poles, avoiding knocking the poles over as they go – requiring agility and great communication.
Exit sees two players work together manoeuvring a ball out of a maze testing their patience to the max.
Manchester’s Finest Group
Lastly, Locate is a single player game where players must memorise an illuminated white square’s location, before placing a block on it while blindfolded.
They’re all deceptively straightforward, while also fiendishly addictive, and perfect for a team day out.
Get booked in HERE to try the new games for yourself.
