The Warehouse Project drops big hint at where its new home might be

The Warehouse Project has has dropped a big hint at where its new home for 2019 will be.

After four years in a car park and former air raid shelter beneath Piccadilly station the clubbing extravaganza is on move.

And in a video tweeted out at 6pm tonight WHP seemed to give clubbers a sneak preview of its new home.

The eight second clip included the message ‘Welcome to the Depot’ – seemingly a reference to the Mayfield Depot, a disused railway station and Royal Mail sorting office short a just hop away from the club’s former Store Street home.

It also included a link to the WHP website where clubbers could register for tickets for the 2019 run.

As the Manchester Evening reported last week the move was hinted at in plans to convert Mayfield Depot into a huge new 10,000 capacity music, arts and food venue.

Documents submitted with the planning application said the Warehouse Project would be one of the events taking place at the new venue, which would be managed by live music production firm Ground Control  – which helps run the club and its sister festival Parklife.

The club has decamped to the depot before, most recently last November as part of the Manchester International Festival.

WHP bosses Sacha Lord and Sam Kandel announced the club was leaving its ‘spiritual home’ in July 2018.

Speaking at the time they said: “The Warehouse Project will bid a final farewell to the infamous Store Street venue following the forthcoming 2018 season.

“With Manchester in constant evolution and the zone around Store Street undergoing incredible transformation, our time here is drawing to a natural conclusion.

“When WHP returned to Store Street in 2014 it was intended for one season only. Four years later we are calling time. There will be no return.”

Store Street was the club’s second home after launching at the old Boddingtons brewery, and was based there from 2007 to 2011.

It later moved to Victoria Warehouse before returning to Store Street in 2014, where it has been based ever since.
