The only Polish club (been there for many many years) I know in Manchester is one that old men frequent on Cheetham Hill Road...not exactly the kind of place the young and happening people hang out.

Hi teng ..

Polish Cultural Centre in Hammersmith is a good meeting place for Poles .. there are bars, restaurants , theatre and there used to be disco ( showing my age now !) on the lower ground floor called Pom ... short for Pomidor (Tomato).

Hammersmith is full of Poles now ... and you'd think you were in Warsaw walking down King Street with the word 'kurva' being heard too often !

Anywhere there's a Polish church , you'll sometimes find a social club associated with it ... eg. Windsor Road in Ealing W5

Hi Teng,

I live in Bolton and I can confirm there is a vibrant Polish community in the area. To me it seems that a lot of the young Poles who've come to the UK aren't particularly yearning to meet up with other Poles. Maybe as they get older they will start to warm to the idea of socialising together.

There are Polish social clubs in many Northern towns. Bolton used to have two up until a few years ago but now only has the club by the side of the Polish church.

In Manchester they have the Kolo Polskie on Cheetham Hill Rd and I'd bet there are a number of younger people who go there now. I also heard there was a Polish church in Manchester but I can't remember where :(

londynek.net is a good website where Poles from London & Manchester chat about upcoming events etc.

i always goto a techno/electronic music night at 'joshua brooks' club. the night is called 'locked' and there is lots of polish people going to this night. from warsaw,gdansk everywhere. the place has a nice atmosphere of people from all over...its my favourite night in manchester as people have good attitudes here.

great djs and entrance is between free and £6....check it out.

Nice food eaten in there :) wouldnt have said it was an ideal venue for a party night

If there's any totty then I might go but if they are like the two desheviled looking Polish Dudes I have just passed coming back from shopping I might just have to give it a miss :)
