Ara

‘Ara’ means ‘altar’ or ‘sanctuary’ and is a monthly club-like event that takes place in a 17th century church close to the centre of Manchester.

It seeks to provide a safe haven for those who are into all things alternative, with music covering goth, metal, EBM, eighties and punk. As well as this, there are films, books, quiet spaces, refreshments and occasionally live performances. ‘Ara’ is part of an initiative called ‘The Altar’ which explores creativity, individuality and spirituality.
