In the 1990s, Manchester’s Bowlers Exhibition Centre was a cornerstone of the UK’s rave culture, hosting events that drew thousands of dance music enthusiasts. The venue’s expansive 84,000-square-foot space provided an unparalleled atmosphere, and has been home to iconic events such as Helter Skelter, Life, Asylum, Fantasia and more, making it a central hub for the era’s vibrant rave scene
