24 Hour Folk-A-Thon In Aid Of A Better Met

See themet.ticketsolve.com/donations to donate.

Come and support A Better Met with 24 hours of singing, music and even a bit of dancing. The Met is a much-loved venue, but our 165 year-old building is starting to show its age. We want to refurbish and improve the building, to create an exciting and vibrant space for you and for artists, while retaining The Met's unique character.

We're calling this project A Better Met, and for the past three years we've been working hard behind-the-scenes to make it happen. Transforming the building will cost £4.6 million, of which we've already raised £4.1 million. We just need your help to find the final £500,000.

One of our fundraising events will be a 24-hour music session starting at 2pm on Saturday 21 March and ending at 2pm on Sunday 22 March. The event will take place in Malt bar and will involve folk musicians and supporters from all over the North West providing entertainment for 24 hours with no more than 3 minutes between turns.
