Hope House is a renowned nightclub based in the United Kingdom, specifically located in the heart of Manchester. Emerging during the 2010s, it first made a name for itself as a clandestine party spot, occupying a former Victorian warehouse whose industrial facades provided the perfect setting for underground dance music events. Over time, Hope House evolved from a relatively unknown venue to a staple in Manchester’s thriving nightlife scene, gaining a reputation for its inclusive ethos, open-minded approach to bookings, and commitment to fostering local electronic music talent.

Its rise coincided with Manchester’s re-emergence as a cultural hub, attracting a new generation of clubgoers drawn by the spirit of togetherness and musical innovation. The venue developed a strong following thanks not only to its consistently left-field programming and immersive sound systems but also its advocacy for safer clubbing spaces and queer-friendly atmospheres, making it significant in the sociocultural evolution of the city’s nightlife. Throughout the years, Hope House has undergone several internal refurbishments, most notably updating its lighting and sound installations to world-class standards, while maintaining the raw, brickwork aesthetic that pays tribute to its industrial roots.

Although it briefly closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, Hope House re-emerged stronger, turning itself into a versatile events space and solidifying its place in the community by hosting creative workshops and art exhibitions during the week, further extending its impact beyond just club nights. Notable artists who have graced the decks at Hope House include international names such as Ben UFO, The Blessed Madonna, Helena Hauff, and Honey Dijon, as well as celebrated local talents like Willow, Afrodeutsche, and Anz. The venue’s commitment to platforming emerging musicians has also seen early sets from rising UK acts including India Jordan, Sherelle, and DJ Paulette, placing Hope House at the forefront of cutting-edge electronic music in Manchester and the wider UK scene.
