About This Event

'Pon De River' Bashment Boat Party

Get ready for a proper night on the water with 'Pon De River', a bashment boat party that's bringing authentic Caribbean vibes to Manchester this July. If you're after something different from the usual city centre nightlife, this floating party on Saturday 25th July is exactly what you need – expect pure energy, banging dancehall and reggae tunes, and a guaranteed good time with hundreds of revellers cruising down the Irwell.

Manchester River Cruises in Salford is the perfect launchpad for this kind of event, offering scenic views of the city's industrial heritage while you're getting stuck into the party atmosphere. The venue's riverside location means you'll be dancing past some of Manchester's most iconic waterfront spots, making this way more memorable than your average night out in town.

Tickets are running from £26.50 to £31.00, and it's strictly 18+ so bring valid ID. The party kicks off at 6pm, giving you a solid evening of music and riverside scenery. Get down to Salford Quays early to soak up the pre-party buzz, grab some food before boarding, and wear something you don't mind getting sweaty in – this bashment experience is all about moving to the rhythm.
