Manchester Events Guide
TIME Exchange Jam – House Party 2 is a free nightlife event bringing Manchester's underground house music scene to life on Friday 29 May 2026. Kicking off at 19:30 at Renae in the Northern Quarter, this is your chance to experience quality house music in an intimate setting without breaking the bank – perfect for clubbers wanting authentic vibes over commercial dancefloors.
Renae sits right in the heart of Manchester's Northern Quarter, the city's creative hub packed with independent bars, vintage shops, and underground venues. The area's got serious credentials for hosting grassroots music events, with the venue itself known for championing local DJs and fresh talent. You'll be surrounded by fellow house heads who actually care about the music rather than just the Instagram moment.
Head to Renae via Tib Street or use the nearby tram stops on Piccadilly Line – the Northern Quarter's easy to navigate and buzzing by evening. It's an 18+ event, so bring valid ID. Arrive early to catch the opening sets and soak in the atmosphere; these jam sessions tend to build momentum as the night goes on. Fair warning: it gets packed, so wear something you don't mind getting sweaty in and expect a proper dancefloor experience.
