Tucum Capoeira Manchester

📍 M4 4DR

Capoeira is an exciting and dynamic Afro-Brazilian art-form that combines elements of movement, dance, martial arts, music, and game-play. Developed by African slaves and their descendants in Brazil, capoeira has a rich history and this beautiful art has survived through hundreds of years of exploitation and adversity. In 2014 capoeira was granted ‘Cultural Heritage Status’ by UNESCO the UN’s cultural arm. As well as being an amazingly rewarding and fun activity, the practice of Capoeira develops excellent fitness, flexibility, mobility, coordination and balance. 

 It also enhances teamwork, communication, social skills and teaches mutual respect through its focus on working together and creating dialogues through movement. Capoeira also develops rhythm and musicality, and exposes capoeiristas to a foreign language and culture without even realizing it. Hailing from Minas Gerais, Brazil, Capoeira Manchester is led by Contra Mestre Rander under the guidance of world-wide renowned master, Mestre Papa-Léguas. Training since childhood, Rander has dedicated a lifetime to developing and sharing capoeira in Brazil and overseas, only becoming more passionate about the art form as time passes. He firmly believes in the transformative power of capoeira and how it can significantly enrich people's lives. There are NO REQUIREMENTS to start Capoeira, only willingness to learn and have fun. What is capoeira? A non-contact Brazilian martial art Suitable for all ages and abilities Involves dance, gam-play, gymnastics and self-expression Based on group and pair work. What can capoeira offer children? Physical health and fitness. Self-esteem and confidence Focus and concentration Respect Fun and friendship

Manchester K-pop Fans (MKF)

Wed
📅 27 May 2026
📍 M4 1SH

From BIGBANG to BTS, Taeyang to Taemin, Girls Generation (GG days!) to Twice, you will find two decades of K-pop hysteria embraced by the first Manchester based K-pop Fans Meetup! As someone who developed a familiarity with K-pop as a teen in the 2000's and then delved back into the present day of contemporary K-pop, I want to explore and discover this fascinating musical sub-genre within an even more mesmerising pop culture, to encompass K-drama and Korean food and beyond. I am always learning something new about this expansive sub-genre of music and the Korean culture, so if anyone has any social ideas or event suggestions for the group please let a committee member know and we can hopefully accommodate! If anyone would like to be involved as an events organiser drop me a message and that can be arranged ✌️😁✌️ Please be aware, photography will be taken at our events. If you wish to not be part of this, please let an organiser know.

Japanese Social (Japonic) and Eurasian Gatherings UK

Japanese Social (Japonic) and Eurasian Gatherings UK

Wed
📅 8 Jul 2026
📍 M13 9NG

Welcome to the Nottigham-Manchester Japanese Culture Meetup Group! Are you fascinated by modern Japanese culture, often referred to as Japanese pop culture? Whether you’re a fan of Japanese food, music, anime, or manga, this group is for you! About Us: We are a community of enthusiasts who gather to celebrate and explore the vibrant world of Japanese pop culture. Our meetups take place in various Japanese restaurants and cafes around the Manchester area, providing a cosy and authentic atmosphere for our discussions and activities. We also attend Japanese pop culture-related events in the area, making the most of what Manchester has to offer. Why Join Us? I moved from Tokyo about a year ago and quickly realised that while there are groups focused on language exchange and traditional Japanese culture, there was a gap for those of us who love modern Japanese culture in all its forms. I have also met many people who have visited Japan or are planning to visit. Those who have visited told me they liked the culture and asked me for recommendations on Japanese restaurants and events in the Manchester area, as it is difficult to find good and authentic ones. By leveraging the network I’ve built over the past year, I aim to create a space where we can share our passion and knowledge. What We Do: Cultural Exploration: From discussing your favourite animes and mangas to discovering new Japanese eateries and events, there’s always something exciting to do. Community Sharing: There are likely many more Japanese cultural places we haven’t discovered yet. Share your favourite spots and new finds on our group page! Join Us: Whether you’re new to Japanese pop culture or a long-time fan, everyone is welcome. I’m new to organising meetup events, so your recommendations and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Let’s create a vibrant community together!
