SOIREE

Friday 21st June, 6pm - midnight.
Islington Mill, Salford, M5 4DE
18+

Soiree is an open-air party in the dreamy Islington Mill courtyard for Manchester's gays to come and celebrate the Summer Solstice. With an all-queer DJ lineup, Tarot card readers, a visual arts exhibition, henna and glitter tattoos, a high-energy afterparty and Aperol Spritzes, this outdoor event is the perfect way to celebrate the longest day of the year.

Music-wise, expect deep groovy house, sexy techno, speedy garage, Madonna-adorned breaks and infectiously girly Charli XCX hyperpop samples to shake your ass to. With an emphasis on local talent, our lineup of seasoned dancefloor designers have performed at the likes of Homobloc, Parklife, Gay Village's stylish Red Light, the White Hotel, Electrowerks' Riposte and BBC Radio 6 festival.

Based in community cultural centre Partisan Collective, a 10 minute walk from Deansgate, the venue is fully accessible, with step-free access and chillout room. PAYF donation option available on the door - everyone is welcome, even those with lack of funds.

So, on Friday the 21st of June, shake off the office, start the weekend and transition into the latter half of the year under the sunshine at Soiree!
