FAQs
Is there an age limit?+
Yes — Manchester Adored is strictly 18+. The door operates Challenge 25, so bring valid photo ID if you're lucky enough to look under 25.
Where do I buy tickets?+
All tickets are sold through Skiddle, our official ticketing partner. Follow any of the ticket links on this page — tickets bought elsewhere can't be guaranteed. Standard, group (four adults) and VIP tickets are on sale, along with private Executive Boxes. Prices shown are face value; Skiddle adds its booking fee at checkout. On the night, show your ticket on your phone or bring a printout.
What time does it start and finish?+
Doors open at 2pm and the music runs until midnight. Last entry is 6pm, so make sure you're through the doors by then. Set times are announced on our social media in the run-up to the event.
Should I bring cash or card?+
Either — the bars, the food court and the fairground all take cash and card. There's no drinks token system at Manchester Adored, so you pay at the bar as you would on any night out.
Is there a dress code?+
No strict dress code. Door staff may refuse entry to anyone dressed inappropriately.
What can't I bring?+
Bags are checked on entry. Alcohol isn't allowed in, and nor is anything you wouldn't expect to take into a venue — weapons, illegal substances, glass or aerosols.
Is there first aid on site?+
Yes — a first aid point runs all day, staffed for the duration of the event. Ask any steward and they'll point you to it.
Can I leave and come back in?+
No — there's no re-entry, so once you leave the venue you won't be let back in.
How do I get there?+
The venue is Bowlers Exhibition Centre, Longbridge Road, Trafford Park, M17 1SN. There's no parking, so come by taxi — it's easy to get to — or by tram, with a local stop nearby.
Is there a cloakroom?+
Yes — there's a cloakroom for coats and bags.
Is there a smoking area?+
Yes — there's a smoking area at the venue.
Is there food?+
Yes — there's a food court inside the venue, alongside themed bars and an outdoor fairground.
What do VIP tickets and Executive Boxes include?+
