Please note: part of the charm of this event is the surroundings – the faded grandeur of Hulme’s NIAMOS – a gently decaying old theatre having life breathed back into it. All that atmosphere comes at a cost – it’s a big old unheated building – so please WRAP UP WARM, WEAR LAYERS, and be prepared to get moving.
Also: if you have any access requirements, please do talk to us first and we can try and meet the building’s challenges together.
More
A 90-minute mix of jungle music, immersive theatre, spoken word, and ritual within a DJ set — The Rave Space deconstructs the DJ’s role as a status symbol, creating an authentic nightclub experience that is at once intimate and transcendent.

What people have said about The Rave Space
…there is more to this than meets the eye and it deserves respect.
★★★★ remotegoat
…a brutal encounter with the self. It’s a brave performance, and is an act which jolts you awake.
