01 / About
BORN IN MANCHESTER.
BUILT FOR THE BOLD.
MANOFEST started in 2016 as a 400-cap warehouse party on Oldham Street. Now it's the UK's most independent major festival — still volunteer-powered, still fiercely Mancunian.
Heaton Park • 3 Days • 11am–11pm
+ late-night Warehouse Afterparties till 4am
We are anti-boring. Pro-community. Loud on purpose.
Every ticket funds: local youth music studios, free community tickets, and keeping Heaton Park green. 100% independent — no major owners, no dynamic pricing scams, no £9 water.
- 5 unique stages — from Main Buzz to secret Salford Basement rave for 300 people.
- Street culture district — 40 graffiti walls painted live, skate bowl, breakdance battles.
- Northern food market — 60 independent kitchens, vegan + halal + legendary Bury black pudding.
- Accessible & safe — BSL on main stage, quiet sensory space, trained welfare angels 24/7.
