The short version
A night to be seen.
Alert! is Manchester’s longest-running men’s fetish event: more than two decades of dancing, darkrooms, and debauchery with a genuinely friendly door.
01 / The rhythm
Every month, doors open.
The regular party lands on the third Friday of every month. Come for the music, stay for the darkrooms, and make the night whatever you want it to be. There are extra Pride, Leather, and special-edition events across the year too.
When
Doors open at 10pm. Last entry is 1:30am, so give yourself time to get in, settle, and find the room.
Where
Alert! is hosted at venues including Cruz Sub101, Hidden, and AREA around Manchester’s Gay Village.
Who
We welcome LGBTQ+ and male-presenting guests regardless of ethnicity, looks, body, or personality. Come as you are; make an effort for the night.
Friendly, kinky, no judgement.
Ready when you are

New rooms can be a lot. Our meet-and-greet is there to make the first step feel simple, not like a test you forgot to study for.

Ask anything
They can answer questions, help with membership, and be a friendly face you can find later in the night.
Walk in ready
