Free Things To Do In Manchester.

Manchester is an expensive city to be social in. Most things that get you out of the house and around other people cost money, and if money is tight that closes down your options quickly, right at the point where you most need them open.

Everything Mandem Meetup runs is free. Not discounted, not free for a trial period. Free, because we are a funded charity and that is what the funding is for.

What is on

Walks and hikes across Greater Manchester and out into the Peak District. Casual football with no subs and no squad. Pawn Hub, our chess club. Quest, a tabletop games night for people who want to switch off properly. Workin/Workout, gym sessions and bouldering run with My Health Matters. Choonz and Chatz, where everyone brings a song that means something and you find out why.

And talking circles, which are what we are best known for, across Deansgate, Withington, Eccles, Harpurhey and Chorlton.

Who it is for

Any man. You do not need to be struggling, and most men here are not. Some come because they have moved to the city and know nobody. Some because their mates all had kids and disappeared. Some because they are having the worst year of their life and needed somewhere to put a Tuesday evening.

All of those are good enough reasons.
