The Warehouse Project is preparing for one of its biggest seasons yet, with WHP26 officially getting underway this September. The opening month sees four major shows to kick off the season, beginning with KI/KI on 18th September, followed by Rampa + &ME of Keinemusik on 19th September, before Solomun takes over on 25th September. The iconic Homobloc then closes out the month on 26th September.
As part of its milestone anniversary season, WHP26 continues to build towards its biggest year yet, with several shows already sold out and limited tickets remaining across the calendar. The 20 Years of The Warehouse Project exhibition now opens at The Avenue, Spinningfields, while Twenty Years in Manchester, directed by Leigh Powis, is available to watch here. Further show announcements are still to come.

First aiders are on hand throughout the venue. If you feel unwell, or notice a friend feeling unwell, seek out a member of staff immediately.
Take regular breaks and drink water – this is free and readily available throughout the site. If someone around you seems fatigued or confused, find them somewhere safe to sit and seek onsite medical personnel.
W.E.L.Safe provide confidential, non judgemental and trained advice on alcohol, drugs, mental health and sexual health. They are at all WHP events and support anyone who needs a safe space to talk or recuperate in private, away from the full event.
The WHP Welfare team is located in the smoking area (next to Depot toilets) & will also be situated in each room, wearing blue hi-vis vests and are there to help.
Warehouse Project does not condone the use of illegal substances. On-site drug testing has shown the purity & content of drugs to vary considerably.
There are multiple free drinking water points available at stations situated at all the main bars.
How to get to Warehouse Project (and home again)
Warehouse Project takes place at Depot Mayfield, making the train to Manchester Piccadilly the easiest route, being just across the road. If this isn’t an option for you, trams and the free bus run between all Manchester stations, meaning you can alight at Manchester Piccadilly from any of those.
Alternatively, the 147, 219, 221 and 719 buses stop on Fairfield Street just outside the station, and Piccadilly Gardens bus station is around a 10-15 minute walk from Depot Mayfield. There is also a taxi rank within Piccadilly train station.
Night buses are now in operation throughout Greater Manchester between Thursday and Sunday, so you should be able to get to your local area this way if the WHP show finishes whilst trains and trams are not in operation – but check this before you travel. Otherwise, taxis should be operating fairly frequently in the area.
Remember to stay safe and stay together as much as possible, and have fun!
