ClaudeGet every regular night and seasonal or one-off event at one Manchester venue, with times, address if known, sources and when it was last checked.
Overview
Manchester Tonight is a free, independent guide to nights out in Manchester, UK. This connector lets your assistant answer “what’s on tonight?” with real listings: pub quizzes, comedy, open mics, live music, club nights, drag and happy hours across the city centre, Northern Quarter, Didsbury, Chorlton, Stockport, Salford and more, plus one-off gigs and seasonal events like Halloween, Bonfire Night and Christmas markets. Ask by date (“tonight”, “Saturday”, “31/10/2026”), area, type or keyword, or look up a single venue. Every result has a time, venue, area and a link back to the listing, and shows when it was last checked. Read-only, no account needed, and nothing about you is stored.

plan_night_out
ClaudeTurn a night out you have planned with someone (or a few days out) into a Manchester Tonight plan: a link that opens the plan on manchestertonight.co.uk, where they can change it and send it to friends on WhatsApp, plus the message text. Find the stops first with whats_on or search_listings. Listed venues get their area and page filled in, and a stop with no time gets the start time of the night on at that venue that day. The first stop each day is where everyone meets. Give the plan an intro and each stop a blurb, written to the person's friends: what you'll do there, why it's a good pick, and anything to book, bring or know (opening times, dietary notes, tickets). Returns a short link that previews as a card with the plan's name, a full message and a short one; offer whichever suits (the short one or just the link is best for a group chat). The plan is kept only to serve that link, until a month after its last day.
