Hello Infest fans!
As is tradition we will be supporting some worthy causes this year. We gather donations from a number of sources during the event, including donations from people on the guestlist, our performing artists who offer merchandise as prizes, as well as our ticket holders, many of whom pay for entry into a prize raffle.
This year we plan to repeat the very popular bring & buy sale of modern and vintage clothing and fashion, donated by you the festival-goers and crew members, with all funds donated to charity.
This Years’ Chosen Charities
SOPHIE
Support the Sophie Lancaster Foundation in their mission to stamp out prejudice, hatred, and intolerance everywhere. The charity works to promote tolerance and acceptance, celebrating differences and individuality. Visit the Sophie website, to read more.
Samaritans
The Samaritans vision is that fewer people die by suicide, and the Samaritans are there for anyone who needs someone at a difficult time. Talking saves lives. Visit the Samaritans Manchester and Salford Branch website, to read more.
Please Bring Cash for Donations!
We will take card payment donations of course (it is 2025, after all) but to help us pass on the full value of your donation and avoid card fees, “cash is king” as they say.
Interval Refreshments!
As usual we’ll be offering our interval refreshments, however this time with a twist! Buy a charity drinks token and claim a very special cocktail at the bar! IYKYK 😉

Please Donate to our Charity Bring & Buy Sale!
Please bring donations of clothes, footwear and bric-a-brac, under the theme of spooky / goth / alternative. Bored of your old cyberdog fashion? New Rocks no longer fit? Bring them along!
Don’t worry, any unsold donations will not be disposed of. Our friends at Beat:Cancer will continue the Bring & Buy sale for charity after the Infest weekend.
Bring your clean and sale-ready donations to the main venue on the Friday if possible. Please think ahead and try to clean and pack things nicely, so they’re ready for our team to put on sale. We probably won’t have access to things like a steamer etc on site… You are optionally invited to add a suggested donation value to items you donate, to help our team. We may reduce prices to clear the stock, but your input is valued and appreciated. Thank you!
