About This Event

Venus Classics is bringing back the legendary Mark Tillotson for a special Sunday night session at one of Manchester's most iconic nightlife venues. If you're after proper house music and a night that celebrates the city's rich club heritage, this free event on 24 May 2026 is essential – especially given that entry won't cost you a penny. Mark Tillotson's reputation for delivering quality sets makes this a rare chance to catch a genuine Manchester DJ at the top of his game.

Joshua Brooks sits right in the heart of Manchester city centre, just off Bridge Street, and has been a fixture of the local clubbing scene for years. The venue's intimate atmosphere combined with its excellent sound system makes it the perfect spot for Venus Classics nights, where the focus is firmly on the music rather than flashy gimmicks. It's a proper dancefloor experience that serious house heads will appreciate.

Get there early to avoid queues, especially since it's a free event – word spreads fast among Manchester's clubbers. The night kicks off at 22:00, so aim for closer to midnight if you want the peak-time energy. It's 18+ only, so bring ID, grab a drink at the bar, and prepare yourself for an authentic Manchester house music experience.
