Rainy Heart’s 'Late night Happening' invites party lovers in Stretford and beyond to come together for an underground, after-hours event. Featuring some incredible DJs and eye-catching visuals, the event will take place in a repurposed space that nobody has ever partied in before.
Attendees can expect to experience the energy and excitement of an authentic underground rave, courtesy of the Rainy Heart team, as Stretford town centreis reimagined as the ultimate party destination. And, with a selection of drinks provided by Cloudwater Brewery, fans of music and dance won’t want to miss out on this unique experience.
Founded by DJ and NTS Radio host Ruf Dug and pop-up bar specialist Dan Hope, Rainy Heart is dedicated to creating a one-of-a-kind experience for Manchester-based electronic music lovers. They have run several highly successful events since their launch back in January, featuring DJs of note including Mr Scruff, Bradley Zero, and Rhythm Section.
‘Ruffy’ Ruf Dug, from the Rainy Heart team, shared his excitement for the upcoming event:
“When I first moved to Stretford, I jokingly thought that the Mall would be a great location for a late night dance party. I can’t quite believe that Stretford town centre has given us the keys to do exactly that - it’s going to be a great night and we can’t wait to see everybody there!”
