Spring Bank Arts Centre · New Mills

They’ll be talking about making Phoenix Nights, the characters, the scenes that still get shouted at them in the street, what went on behind the cameras, the huge Manchester Arena live shows and plenty of things that probably shouldn’t be repeated. And this time they’ll be doing it surrounded by a little bit of Phoenix Nights history. There’ll also be a full audience Q&A – your chance to ask the questions you’ve wanted answering for the last 20-odd years.
