Another Brilliant BIBA Afterparty at Cloud 23

Who says the sun never shines in Manchester?
The sun made a rare (and very welcome) appearance just in time for our 2025 post-BIBA celebration at Cloud 23.
Over 350 guests made their way up to the twenty-third floor of the Hilton hotel to soak up skyline views and bask in that unmistakable energy, only BIBA week can bring.
Perched high above the city, the bar buzzed with old friends reconnecting, new introductions, and more than a few ‘how was that meeting earlier?’ debriefs. But as soon as Definitely Maybe hit the stage with a wall of Oasis classics, work talk was firmly on hold.
Later, Different Class kept the tempo high, while Multiplex DJ weaved in Manchester’s greatest musical hits between sets.
And what’s a party without proper scran? Guests tucked into a spread of light bites and sampled our custom cocktails, including Buzzin’ Our Kid, Supersonic Spritz and Twistin’ My Lime - keeping the bar staff on their toes for the whole evening.
As golden hour light spilt across the city, the party showed no signs of slowing down. It was a celebration of BIBA, of Manchester, and of the brilliant people we get to work with across the industry.
To everyone who came and helped make it a night to remember, thank you. Same time next year?
