The venue

Located on Oldham Street in Manchester’s Northern Quarter, Gullivers is recognized as an iconic, characterful pub with roots dating back to 1865. Beyond the busy bar, it is primarily regarded as a hub for entertainment and community. Live music is hosted in two dedicated spaces: the Upstairs Ballroom, a 110-capacity gig venue with a raised stage, and the downstairs Lounge. It is prided as a welcoming, supportive venue where many successful artists were nurtured and developed within the city’s grassroots music scene.
