About Gullivers

Gullivers is a beloved Manchester venue known for its intimate atmosphere, two dedicated performance spaces, and a steady stream of indie gigs, theatre, and stand-up. Located on Oldham Street, Gullivers has a storied history dating back to the 1970s when its name was adopted after JW Lees ownership. Today, it continues to draw locals and visitors for memorable shows in a no-fuss, friendly setting. Whether you’re catching a rising indie act in the Upstairs Ballroom or a cozy set in the Downstairs Lounge, Gullivers offers a close-up experience that big rooms can’t match.

When you’re planning your night, we’ve got you covered with practical details, nearby transport options, and convenient places to stay and eat within walking distance. Secure your seats and join the crowd for an authentic Manchester music and comedy night out.

The venue sits at 109 Oldham Street, M4 1LW, placing it in central Manchester’s vibrant Northern Quarter.
