Seasonal warehouse series that became a UK rite of passage for a generation.

The room

Not a permanent club but a seasonal autumn-to-NYE warehouse series that became a Manchester rite of passage. From the legendary Store Street railway tunnels to the cavernous Depot Mayfield, WHP turned a city's rave heritage into an annual institution.

Reputation

A UK institution and Manchester's modern rave standard-bearer.

What makes it singular

A pop-up season, not a venue, scarcity is built into the model.

Signature nights

Seasonal autumn–winter series

Iconic sets

The Store Street car-park-tunnel years now spoken of in mythic terms.,Genre-spanning megabills that draw the whole UK to Manchester each winter.

Capacity: ≈ 10,000 (seasonal, Depot Mayfield) · Origin: Sacha Lord & Sam Kandel (2006)
