“This isn’t just about shopping, it’s about experiencing one of Manchester’s most iconic buildings in a whole new way. It’s about connection with friends, family and community, and celebrating the breadth of small business talent that Manchester has to offer.

“From the installations and performances to the makers and food vendors, everything has been curated to create an evening that feels truly unique. To be here on Halloween night, with the baths transformed after dark, will make it all the more unforgettable.”
Guests are invited to groove the night away and peruse handmade goods to the anthem of tunes by live DJs, whilst also enjoying mouth-watering street food pop-ups outside in the carpark – think pizza, tacos, and Thai dishes, plus more.
There’ll also be local drinks legends Cocktail Cartel on hand both on the main bar in the Sports Hall, and a pop-up outside with the street food.

They’ll be pouring pints from Seven Brothers, alongside a range of cocktails using spirits sourced from Spirit of Manchester and Salford’s own Salford Rum, plus some concoctions nodding to Halloween and spooky season.
Becc Sanderson added: “We’re also hugely excited to be launching our art collaborations in this incredible space, something that has been in the planning stages for well over a year.
“Thanks to the myriad of fabulous “nooks and crannies” in Victoria Baths, and the fact that it is Halloween after all, we’ve earmarked a space where our customers can enjoy an immersive multimedia experience featuring the work of artist/technologist Ross Blair and lighting designer Sam Jones, fresh off their huge success at Edinburgh’s Hidden Door Festival. This will be a night that will be unforgettable and truly Spooktacular!”
