As July 19th looms, Manchester’s long-suffering nightclubs are preparing to finally reopen their doors after a full year of no custom.
It’s been an undeniably difficult year for our hospitality industry – bars, restaurants, music venues and nightclubs have been among the worst-hit throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, with an estimated 10,000 UK businesses closing for good as a result of continuous lockdowns and social distancing measures.
It has never been so important to show our venues a little bit of love and, of course, some much-needed revenue, so it’s hardly surprising to hear that a number of nightclubs across Manchester are going to be wasting no time at all in opening their doors next week – well, maybe just one minute wasted.
Yep, there are going to be nightclubs opening at 00:01am in the early hours of Monday July 19th, when it will be perfectly legal to welcome customers back onto their dance floors.
Here’s who’s getting involved:

Of course Factory are getting in on the action. The staple student haunt will be opening as soon as legally possible at 00:01am on the 19th with its ticketed ‘One Minute Past Midnight Party’ event.
Early bird tickets are fully sold out, but you can still get your hands on standard release and final release, which are priced from just £5, here.
Cruz 101 will be brought back to life on July 19th, and no moment later! The famed nightclub will be throwing its very own ‘Freedom Day’ event as the clock strikes midnight, where there will be full decor, vibrant performances and the Cruz 101 Drag Queens you all know and love (and have missed).
HIDDEN: THE REOPENING is set to be a big one – the basement nightclub will be back for the first time since last year with their epic reopening bash. The event will be the first chance for guests to check out the improvements made during lockdown, and will also act as a warm up event for the day and night parties that will take place every day of the re-opening week.
Though Impossible has been operating as a bar for the last few months, they will be fully reopening their indoor venue at 00:01am on July 19th for guests to celebrate and dance the night away.
