What is Third Place?

Third Place is a female-founded events company dedicated to connecting Manchester women with each other and the city’s best venues. Inspired by the concept of ‘third places’—community spaces like restaurants, parks, and shops where people meet and make memories—we host regular in-person events across Greater Manchester.

Community-focused

At Third Place, we strengthen the local community by connecting women with Manchester’s finest independent businesses and beloved local favourites. Through our events, we highlight and support the city’s vibrant business scene, creating opportunities for women to discover and enjoy the best Manchester has to offer.

Grounded & Personal

We understand that meeting new people can be nerve-wracking, so we ensure our events are grounded and relaxed. With friendly hosts and engaging group chats, Third Place events provide a welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy for women to connect and feel comfortable.

Safe Spaces for All Women

Our diverse events are held in inclusive venues across Manchester, offering safe spaces where all who identify as women can come together and enjoy shared experiences. Third Place is committed to creating environments that are welcoming, secure, and enjoyable for everyone.

Meet the Team

Third Place was founded by a trio of best friends with complementary creative skills, deeply connected to Manchester’s vibrant community. Our team is passionate about helping women in the city feel connected, empowered, and fulfilled through meaningful events and shared experiences.
