🏛️ THE THEATRE
The building opened in 1902 as part of Manchester’s vibrant theatre scene and has enjoyed a remarkable history spanning theatre, cinema, television, radio and live performance.
Over the decades it has hosted legendary artists and productions, including broadcasts featuring Les Dawson, Ken Dodd, Roy Castle and many others. In 1962, The Beatles recorded their first BBC radio appearance here for Teenager’s Turn – Here We Go.
The venue later became home to the celebrated Nia Centre for Black Arts, opened by the legendary Nina Simone and hosting artists including Hugh Masekela, Ziggy Marley, Fela Kuti, Talawa Theatre Company and many more.
Today, Niamos continues this rich cultural legacy as a community-owned arts centre, celebrating creativity, diversity, heritage and wellbeing through performance, music, dance and community engagement.

🌟 THE NIAMOS ETHOS
A radical arts centre rooted in community, creativity and inclusion.
Niamos works with diverse and often underrepresented communities, honouring the stories of its theatre’s history while supporting the creative lives of people today. The arts, heritage and wellbeing are recognised, nurtured and celebrated here.
“We have the capability to make change locally, but only through capturing the imagination of our neighbours, friends and families can we make it a reality.”
As a community co-operative, all profits are reinvested into the building and every member has an equal voice in shaping its future.
Guiding Principles:
Unity • DIY • Collective • Economical • Purposeful • Creative • Spirituality
“Bring your tango shoes, invite your friends, and join us for an unforgettable afternoon of dancing in one of Manchester’s most unique cultural spaces.”
