25 years since Phoenix Nights first opened its doors, join five of its much-loved cast members for an evening of stories, laughter and audience questions.

Neil Fitzmaurice (Ray Von), Steve Edge (Alan), Janice Connolly (Holy Mary), Archie Kelly (Kenny Senior) and Toby Foster (Les) reunite to look back at life inside Britain’s most famous working men’s club.

From filming the original series to the Manchester Arena live shows, hear their memories of making a comedy that people are still quoting a quarter of a century later. Expect backstage tales, favourite moments and a few things that never made it onto the screen.

Hosted by Chelsey Ward, this relaxed, revealing evening includes a full audience Q&A, giving you the chance to ask the questions you’ve always wanted answered.

Phoenix Nights has never been repeated on television and isn’t available on streaming services, but its characters, catchphrases and loyal following have endured. Now you can hear about it from the people who were there.

Whether you know every line or simply fancy an evening in excellent company, pull up a chair and join the cast.
