Trackside Summer Party at The Star And Garter
The Trackside Summer Party is your go-to night out this July if you're after a proper Manchester night out with top-notch DJs and a buzzing crowd. Happening on Saturday 25 July 2026 from 7:30pm, this 18+ event promises quality music and the kind of summer vibes that'll have you talking about it all week. At just a tenner to get in, it's brilliant value for a night in one of the city centre's most beloved venues.
The Star And Garter sits right in the heart of Manchester city centre, making it perfectly placed for a night that doesn't require a trek across town. This independent bar and music venue has built a solid reputation for hosting quality events with genuine character, away from the chain-heavy nightlife scene. It's the sort of place where the sound system matters, the crowd's there for the music, and the drinks are decent without the corporate nonsense.
Getting there's easy – the venue's minutes from Piccadilly station and walkable from most city centre spots. Head in with mates, settle in early if you want a decent spot near the decks, and expect to stay until late. Grab some proper food before you arrive since it's primarily a drinking and dancing venue, and bring cash alongside your card to avoid queuing at the bar.
