Games Night: UNPLUGGED 

Event Description

Join us for Games Night: Unplugged — a cosy, phone‑free evening created to help us slow down and genuinely connect with each other 📵✨

  
📅 Wednesday 21st October
⏰ 7:00pm – 9:30pm
📍 209 Deansgate, Manchester M3 3NW

  
In a world where we’re constantly online, this night is about stepping away from all of that and choosing presence instead.  

We want to give everyone a space where you can laugh without checking your notifications, meet new people without worrying about how you look on camera, and enjoy the moment without feeling watched or judged.  

Just real community, real joy, and real connection 🫶🏾

  
At the heart of the night is something bigger too — our commitment to supporting Black Minds Matter UK  

We’re launching our new ACS Cares charity pillar, beginning with a bake sale filled with community, sweetness, and purpose 🍰🧁  

Every treat you buy helps fund culturally relevant therapy and mental health support across the UK. It’s a chance to have fun while uplifting a cause that deeply matters to our community — and you’ll even get to vote on which committee member’s bake was your favourite 🧡👀✨

Throughout the evening, you’ll be able to drift between solo games, small‑group activities, and larger crowd games — all designed to bring people together in a way that feels easy, fun, and completely pressure‑free.

Whether you’re colouring, chatting, singing, or jumping into a group game, the whole night is designed to feel safe, soft, and welcoming.  

And of course, expect R&B flowing through the room all night long 🎶✨

  
🔑 Key Info:

  • Bring your ID if you’d like to purchase alcoholic drinks 🍹
  • No tickets will be sold on the door 🚫
  • All proceeds go directly to Black Minds Matter UK 🧡
  • We encourage you to keep your phone away during the event — it’s not a rule, just a gentle suggestion to help everyone stay present (of course, use it if you need it for emergencies) 📵✨

 If you have any access needs or require support to fully enjoy the evening, please reach out to us before purchasing a ticket so we can make arrangements that work best for you 🧡

Come ready to unplug, unwind, and enjoy a night that’s rooted in community, care, and connection.  

We can’t wait to see you there 🤍✨
