The Carlton Club is facing potential eviction, learn how you can support & help save the club here 👉 link over at @carltonclubmcr

For #mjf2024 we had the absolute pleasure of hosting 3 packed out nights of jazz here. It’s safe to say our artists, volunteers and staff fell in love with the club and its loyal audiences ✨

The Carlton Club has been housed in Rowan Lodge for 111 years providing ‘a welcoming environment for the people of Whalley Range to gather and socialise, fostering life-long friendships’ 💜

To see it go would be a deep loss to the cultural landscape of Manchester. The Building Company have served the club an eviction notice which they are challenging. The legal process will take at least 12 months but we must support them as they fight to preserve their long-term future.

Learn everything you need to know about the eviction, The Carlton Club & how they plan to fight the case in the Go Fund Me link on their socials.
