The Abbey is a new pub and music venue in Hulme – opening this weekend with a free 3-day launch party programme and half-price pies and pints. A place for pints, conversation and live music. For locals, regulars, artists, families and anyone curious enough to walk through the door. Built in the 1890s and brought back to life by the team behind Now Wave, The Abbey continues a long history as a gathering place for the neighbourhood, while opening a new chapter as a home for grassroots culture and independent music. The programme moves between emerging artists, cult favourites, DJs, community events and everything in between. Register for launch party set times, further event info, offers and more. Old pub. New music.
