Please note- NEW VENUE!

If you're of a skeptical or scientific mindset and enjoy good company and good beers, come and join us for our monthly Manchester Skeptics in the Pub Social. We'll be meeting in The Bulls Head, which is located very near to Piccadilly train station (round the back where the taxis come out!) and a short walk from Piccadilly Gardens Bus station and tram.

It's a brilliant bar with plenty of great beers at a reasonable price. There will be no speaker at this event, just good company and interesting conversation.

Entry is free, and we'll be there from about 19:00 onwards, in the area which is slightly raised on the left of the door when you arrive at the pub. The pub also serves food etc.

It is also a good opportunity to offer any suggestions for speakers, or other Greater Manchester Skeptics ideas you may have. We hope to see you there!
