A first drink in town
The Morris on Thomas Street, in the Northern Quarter, and Schofield's Bar in Sunlight House on Little Quay Street are two well-regarded cocktail bars in the centre. Either makes a smart setting for a first meet.

Swingers in Manchester: Make Tonight Count
Couples and singles from the city centre to the far side of the M60, who say what they want and mean it.
A scene that runs well past the city centre
More than 360 Find Swingers members live across Greater Manchester, and more than 270 of them are in Manchester itself. The rest are out in the boroughs: Bolton, Stockport, Wigan, Trafford, Oldham and Tameside all have members, and so do Salford, Bury and Rochdale.

That spread matters when you plan a meet. Stockport is 6 miles from the city centre, Bolton and Rochdale are 10, and Wigan is 16, so "Manchester" on a profile can mean a very different trip home. Search from where you live, not from Piccadilly.
How to meet swingers in Manchester
The routine that works in this city is short and sweet: chat online, meet in town, then take it at your own pace.
Pick your side of the M60
The ring road circles the city. Decide whether you'll travel into the centre or meet nearer your own borough, and set your search distance to match.
Say it straight
Couple or single, soft swap or full swap, same room or separate: put it on your profile, along with anything that's off the table.
Meet near a tram stop
Metrolink trams cross the centre through St Peter's Square, so pick a bar close to the line and nobody has to drive home.
Plan the big night together
If you like each other, choose a club night or a private party, as a foursome or as a couple with the single you've invited.
After dark
Northern Quarter drinks, club nights just out of town
Manchester's nightlife does half the work for you. Here's how swingers make use of it.
Dancing in the Village
Canal Street's Gay Village is popular with people of all sexualities, and it makes a fun second stop once the first drink has gone well. A dance tells you a lot about whether the spark is real.
Clubs just outside the centre
Cupids in Swinton, Salford, has been running for more than 30 years, and Decadance in Rochdale holds nights through the week. Check each club's own site for current nights, dress codes and door rules, and see how swingers clubs work if you've never been.
Getting home again
The M60 rings the city, and Piccadilly, Victoria and Oxford Road stations link the centre with the towns around it. Sort the ride home before the first round, especially if one of you is driving.

Shares of our members across Greater Manchester, singles and couples together, from our member records.
Manchester has over 86,000 full-time students, but our members here are well past freshers' week. Under-35s make up about one in five and more than three in five are 35 to 54. The over-55s, at 18%, are a smaller slice than the 23% among our UK swingers as a whole.

Manchester swingers, asked and answered
Which swingers clubs are near Manchester?
Two are within easy reach of the centre. Cupids in Swinton, Salford, has been going for more than 30 years, and Decadance in Rochdale runs nights through the week. Both set their own rules on membership, dress and single guests, so check each club's own site for current nights before you go.
Do swingers in Bolton, Wigan or Stockport use Find Swingers?
Yes. Members live right across Greater Manchester, not just in the city: Bolton, Wigan, Stockport, Trafford, Oldham and Tameside all have them. Search by distance from your own town and you may find a couple closer to home than anyone in the centre, which makes a discreet meet far simpler.
What age are swingers in Manchester?
More than three in five of our Greater Manchester members are 35 to 54. About one in five is under 35, and 18% are 55 or over. That makes it a grown-up crowd, though a little younger at the top end than the UK as a whole, where the figure is 23%.
Can single men meet couples in Manchester?
Yes, when a couple is looking for one, and their profile is where they'll say so. Read it properly, match what they've asked for and suggest a drink before anything else. Plenty of clubs limit single men or keep them to set nights, so an invitation from a couple you've already met is the easiest way through the door.
