Venue

Freight Island

Manchester Pub & Club Network brings together licensed premises and public authorities across the city’s hospitality and leisure sectors. The aim is to build relationships between parties and work on trading improvements.

Meetings are an opportunity to hear about the strategic vision for the city centre and understand operational support available to the Night-time Economy.

The forum allows for the sharing of intelligence from Manchester City Council, Greater Manchester Police, Transport for Greater Manchester, Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue, and others, in support of the network.
