Hiding in the backstreets of the Northern Quarter, Kraak Gallery is a multi-purpose space that houses art, live music, exhibitions and photography. There's no neon sign outside and no designated smoking area, just the vague remains of the letters K-R-A-A-K that had been chalked on the rain soaked wall along Little Lever Street to point you in the right direction. 

The eclectic mix of entertainment on offer at Kraak is always eye-opening and refreshing. It appeals to a whole host of people ranging from the artistic Northern Quarter folk all the way to underground techno fans. Kraak has an event for everyone. If you're looking for things to do in Manchester that are a little different, then Kraak Gallery will have something to float your boat.Opening times for the venue vary depending on the specific event so make sure you check the event details before heading down. 

Kraak Gallery makes great use of what would otherwise be a derelict ex-textiles studio, with no need to advertise or shout about it, the secrecy and mystery work in its favour as Kraak has become a popular part of the Manchester nightlife scene.
