Hidden is a renowned nightclub located in Manchester, United Kingdom, and has established itself as a mainstay in the city’s vibrant underground electronic music scene since opening its doors in 2014. Housed in a converted textile mill in the industrial area of Cheetham Hill, Hidden quickly carved out a reputation for immersive club experiences, distinct warehouse aesthetic, and a commitment to showcasing cutting-edge sounds. The venue, spread across multiple rooms including the Basement, Blue Room, Courtyard, and Hangar Space, is celebrated for its high-quality sound systems (notably Funktion-One), creative lighting, and stripped-back, DIY charm.

Since its inception, Hidden has played a transformational role in Manchester’s nightlife, helping to fuel the resurgence of the city’s club culture after years of closures and stricter regulations. Throughout its relatively short yet impactful history, the venue has maintained its original site, but improvements have continually been made to its structure and facilities, including sound, lighting upgrades, and enhancements to accommodate larger crowds and a more dynamic program of events. Hidden’s open-minded booking policy has made it a cultural hub for ravers, music aficionados, and those seeking an authentic warehouse party atmosphere, receiving accolades from clubgoers and recognition in DJ Mag’s Top 100 Clubs polls.

Its contribution extends beyond the dancefloor, as the club also nurtures local talent, collaborates with collectives for inclusive line-ups, and serves as a seedbed for new UK clubbing movements. Notable artists who have graced Hidden’s decks include international names such as Honey Dijon, The Black Madonna (now known as The Blessed Madonna), Ben UFO, Helena Hauff, Mall Grab, Objekt, Palms Trax, and Hunee, alongside major UK acts and residents like Willow, Madam X, Ross From Friends, DJ Seinfeld, Shanti Celeste, Call Super, and Mella Dee. The club has also supported prominent Manchester collectives and DJs including Zutekh, Meat Free, and Chimpo, reinforcing its place as an essential platform for both rising stars and established talent in the global house and techno community.
