Skiddle's Manchester Halloween page also lists Hidden Halloween at Hidden on Thursday 29 October, 22:00 to 04:00, and Project Halloween at Mayfield Depot the same night, 22:30 to 03:30. Neither listing was opened individually, so check the ticket pages for line-ups and prices.

Which Halloween nights in Manchester are sold out?

NEXUP Manchester at WHP is the confirmed sell-out. Skiddle tags Dr Banana's Hullabaloo and Ghosts of Garage as "Hot Seller", which means demand is high but does not mean sold out. Skiddle's page also says more events sit behind a "Show More Events" button, so this list is not complete.

What are the entry rules?

All the nights above are 18+. At WHP, bags larger than an A4 sheet are refused and ID is checked on entry and at the bars. The WHP venue is entered from Temperance Street, off Fairfield Street.
