The Big Bash Manchester

What started as the NABS Annual Fashion Show has evolved into the Big Bash — a vibrant, heart-filled Cabaret experience you won’t want to miss!

Step into a world of colour, character, and flair as we transform the Midland Hotel into our very own Cabaret playground.

Expect great company, plenty of surprises, and an afternoon that rolls happily into the evening. Bringing the North West advertising and media community together, this event raises vital funds so no one in our industry has to face tough times alone
