What is The Hacienda?

FAC51 The Hacienda, which was conceived, founded and financed by Factory Records and the band New Order, inspired a musical generation and defined the Madchester scene.

Located in an ex-boat showroom on Whitworth Street West, the venue is widely recognised as the birthplace of acid house and was responsible for shaping the face of UK club scene.

The Hacienda and the scene it spawned was immortalised in the film 24 Hour Party People in which Steve Coogan played the central role of journalist and head of Factory Records Tony Wilson.
