Coffee4Craig Charity Fundraiser: Brainiac & Fishing For Bill

Head down to The Bag Factory on Friday 19 June for a brilliant night supporting a worthy cause. Local legends Brainiac and Fishing For Bill are teaming up to raise funds for Coffee4Craig, so you'll be getting top-notch live entertainment whilst doing some genuine good in the community. With free entry and a proper Manchester crowd, this is the kind of event that makes our city's nightlife scene special.

The Bag Factory sits in the heart of Castlefield, one of Manchester's most atmospheric neighbourhoods packed with history and character. This converted industrial space has become a go-to venue for live music and community events, offering that authentic Northern vibe you won't find in the city centre chains. The setting's perfect for a fundraiser like this, bringing locals together in a proper Manchester setting.

Doors open at 5pm, so get there early to grab a spot and soak up the atmosphere before the bands kick off. It's strictly 18 and over, so bring your ID. The Bag Factory is easily reached via public transport—it's walking distance from Deansgate-Castlefield tram stop—and there's plenty of bars nearby if you want to extend your night.
