WHAT IS ALERT!?
Alert! is Manchester’s longest running fetish event, with over 20 years of dancing, darkrooms and debauchery under its belt!
Being the friendliest and kinkiest fetish event around, it is the perfect place for you to explore your own kinks without judgement, prejudice or expectation.
Alert is open to all LGBTQ+, male presenting individuals regardless of your ethnicity, looks or personality.
If you’re new to Alert! we run a meet and greet at REM for those who are looking for a friendly face for the coming night.
Alert! Takes place on the Third Friday of the month, every month! Doors open at 10pm and our last entry is 1:30am. With some extra events for Pride etc.
Alert! is hosted at Cruz Sub101, Princess Street, Manchester.
Specifically our event takes place on the basement level of the venue. You are free to visit upstairs, but please keep in mind that upstairs is a SFW event and no nudity or sex is allowed
Not at all! If you want to make sure you can get in, it’s better to buy your ticket ahead of time. We also offer a limited run of early bird tickets at a discounted price!
To keep in line with Manchester Council guidelines, you will need a membership to gain entry to the event space.
We have recently transitioned to digital membership cards, which you can get right here on our website
If you still have a plastic card, bring it with you on your next visit and we will issue you a digital one!
With our new digital system, lost cards should be a thing of the past.
If you have lost yours in the mean time, we can issue you a digital one at the event
Flattering will get you everywhere! Tell all your fetish friends and bring them along, the more the merrier!
If you want to get more hands on, get in touch with the team about volunteering.
Help out with teardown at the end of the night and we’ll even give you free entry to the next event!
