UNION:SESSIONS – Grimestep @ The Bag Factory
UNION:SESSIONS brings the heat to Manchester's nightlife scene with a dedicated Grimestep night that's perfect for grime and bassline enthusiasts. If you're after an underground event that celebrates the gritty, energetic sounds of UK urban music, this Saturday 15 August 2026 is your chance to experience some seriously talented DJs and producers doing their thing. At just £5-£7 entry, it's a bargain for a proper night out in the city.
The Bag Factory sits right in the heart of Castlefield, next to the iconic White Hotel, making it one of Manchester's best-kept secrets for intimate live events and club nights. This converted industrial space has real character and atmosphere that you won't find in your standard city-centre venues. The location also puts you within walking distance of some brilliant bars and late-night spots if you fancy extending your night.
The event kicks off at 5pm, so you can arrive early and soak up the Castlefield vibe before things get properly going. Head to The Bag Factory next to The White Hotel – you'll spot it easily enough. Come ready for proper grime sounds, a friendly crowd, and that underground Manchester energy that makes nights here genuinely special. It's 18+ only, so bring your ID.
