About This Event

Energy 91 Oldskool Rave is bringing proper nostalgia to Manchester this October half-term, serving up classic tunes from the golden age of rave culture. If you've got a soft spot for the sounds that defined British dance music, this is your chance to relive those iconic vibes with fellow enthusiasts in a proper party atmosphere. At just £8 entry, it's genuine value for a proper Saturday afternoon session.

The Bag Factory in Castlefield is ideally positioned next to The White Hotel, putting you right in one of Manchester's most vibrant quarters. This historic industrial area has become a hub for creative events and quality nightlife, and the venue itself offers that authentic warehouse feel that rave culture was built on. You're in the heart of the action with loads of bars and spots nearby if you fancy extending your night.

Head to Castlefield via tram or bus – it's super accessible from town – and arrive ready to dance. The 21+ age restriction keeps it mature and focused, so expect a proper crowd who know their oldskool bangers. Wear comfortable shoes, bring your mates, and be prepared for proper dancefloor energy from 3pm onwards. This is Manchester raving done right.
