Event Venue Gorilla: Building On Local Talent for Growth

Manchester's beloved music venue, Gorilla, is back in action, and with its reopening comes the exciting possibilities of expansion. Gorilla is already doubling down on Themed Events with local talent through their recent AfroSound series, this event takes you through past and present Afrobeats & Amapiano classics with local DJ Kweezus, partners Meech and MPEvents.

As Gorilla continues expanding as a cultural hub through diversifying its events. Here are our recommendations of things to consider:

• Genre Galore: Gorilla is known for its music scene, but it can branch out into other genres. Comedy nights, poetry slams, or even lectures by local thought leaders could attract new audiences and create a space for a wider range of creative expression.

• Themed Events: Themed nights can be a fun way to draw crowds. A "Decades Dance Party" or a "Local Beer & Band Showcase" could create a unique and memorable experience for attendees.

• Community Corner: Gorilla can position itself as a community center by hosting events with a social purpose. Charity galas, film screenings with discussions, or book signings by local authors could foster a sense of connection and give back to the community.

• Embrace the Daytime: Live music isn't the only option. Gorilla could utilize its space for daytime events like workshops, art exhibits, or even co-working spaces for creative professionals.

• Think Outside the Box: Gorilla could explore unconventional events that spark curiosity. A "Gorilla vs. Audience" video game tournament or a "Silent Disco Brunch" could generate buzz and position the venue as innovative and forward-thinking.

By incorporating these ideas, Gorilla can expand its reach, attract new audiences, and solidify its place as a vibrant and diverse cultural center in Manchester. The possibilities are endless, and with creativity, Gorilla can continue to be a place where Manchester's creative spirit thrives.
