This Is Bounce UK takes over Pure Nightclub for a full day-into-night session, running from 4 p.m. on Saturday 8 August through to 4 a.m. on Sunday 9 August. Expect both indoor and outdoor spaces, so you can bounce between dancefloors and catch your breath under the stars when you need to.
The vibe
It's a proper summer sesh—the kind where you lose track of time somewhere around midnight and suddenly it's dawn. Pure Nightclub's got the capacity and the setup to handle a serious crowd, and twelve hours means you can dip in and out without FOMO. Whether you're into the indoor heat or the outdoor openness, there's a space for every mood.
Getting tickets
Head to Skiddle to check current ticket prices and availability. These marathon events often sell in tiers, so expect early-bird prices to shift closer to the date. Eighteen and over only, so bring ID.
Where to stay
Wigan's town centre has decent accommodation options within walking distance of Pure Nightclub. We've picked a few hotels below to make your trip easier—handy if you'd rather not drive home at 4 a.m.
Getting there
From Manchester, it's a straight shot north via the A577—about 20 minutes by car. If you're coming from further afield, Wigan's on the rail network; direct trains run from Liverpool, Bolton, and Preston. London's roughly three hours by train. Parking near Pure is tight on event nights, so public transport or a cab might save the headache.
