This site is a the focal point for all polyamory related activities in the North West of England. I started this site because nothing else seems to exist for the poly community up here.

Right now, we're working on building up a core of regulars at the meet, and anyone who would like to help out is most welcome to drop me an email (address below).

To the left is a picture of a few of us enjoying a post-meet snack at 'Rice' in Piccadily Gardens.

We hold regular poly meets, where we talk about our relationships, families, jobs and lives. A lot of the time, we also talk about other random things like our hobbies, a party someone went to or whatever is on our minds at the time.

Sometimes, but not always, we talk about sex and sexuality, which means our conversations might not be suitable for children to hear. However, it's often not the main topic of conversation and the meet is large enough that separate topics of conversation can easily form simultaneously.

The second Saturday of every month, from 2.00pm to 5.30pm. The next meeting is on the 11th of February, 2012.

We meet in Night and Day (see map). It's equidistant between Picadilly Station and Victoria Station. Address: 26 Oldham Street Northern Quarter Manchester M1 1JN

There should be either a sign or a stuffed parrot on the table but do ask the bar staff (who know us) in case it's been forgotten.

Yes! We're a small group and always make an extra effort to make sure new people feel welcomed and comfortable.

If you think you might be poly then you are welcome to come up to our table, ask “Are you here for the Poly meet?” and have a cup of coffee with us. We'd like that.

You are welcome to just turn up, although we always like it when you say “hi” first too.

You're welcome to come any time from 2pm until 5pm. There's usually at least one of us there by 2.00pm and one of the organisers arrives at 2:10pm.

There are a number of useful resources here

If you have specific queries about upcoming meets, please send a message to ian@manchesterpoly.org.uk, and we will endeavour to help you.

The best places for ANY poly folk in the UK (North-Weat England or otherwise) to be, are the uk-poly mailing list and Polytical.
