'It breaks our hearts' - popular bar Mother Mary's in Manchester has been 'forced' to close
Irish bar and music venue, Mother Mary’s located on 7-9 New Wakefield St, Manchester has unfortunately closed over the weekend.
In a statement on Instagram, the team said: “It breaks our hearts to share that Mother Mary's, as of this past weekend, has been forced to close its doors due to financial pressures.
“Over the past year, Mother Mary's has become so much more than a bar, it has grown into a true community hub. We've been home to grassroots music, inclusive club nights, and events that brought together people from all walks of life. From the bands who played their very first gigs on our stage (and have already gone on to fill bigger venues), to the regulars who made this place feel like home, to the countless partygoers who filled the dance floor with joy. YOU are what made Mother Mary's so special.
“Spaces like ours that are wheelchair accessible, queer-inclusive, independent, and dedicated to championing local talent are so incredibly important. Especially also with the heart and spirit to offer a free space to fundraisers and events that are integral to those in our city that are often underrepresented. What we've built together is rare, beautiful, and deeply loved.”
The team also thanked everyone for their support and hoped that this is not the end of their story.
