about this room

Venture Café Manchester's last Thursday Gathering of 2026 swaps the usual talks and workshops for a festive social at SISTER in the Renold Building.

Expect live music, gingerbread decorating, winter treats and drinks, and the founders, researchers, investors and support people who make up the regular Thursday crowd. ARIA is this season's partner. The organisers say programming is still in progress, so treat the comedy in the title as provisional until the line-up appears.

It runs 17:00-20:00 at SISTER, 32a Altrincham Street. Free; register on the Venture Café community platform.

why go

it's the easiest room in December to catch the people you met at Venture Café this autumn before the city goes quiet for Christmas. Go for the conversations, not the content; if you want talks, the 3 Dec robotics gathering is the stronger pick.
