On Saturday 13 December 2025 (5pm–11pm), The Nest turns into the ultimate festive party zone for The Big Christmas Cracker!

Expect a high-energy night packed with live music, Christmas classics, and festive fun. Enjoy incredible Michael Bublé and Mariah Carey tribute acts, live cover bands and DJs playing non-stop anthems, and hilarious moments with Rodeo Rudolf and roaming entertainers. 

Giant snow cannons will set the wintery scene, while mulled wine and festive food keep everyone in the Christmas spirit. 

Gather your friends, throw on your best Christmas jumper, and get ready for a night of laughter, music, and festive mayhem at one of Manchester’s biggest Christmas parties of the year!
