Northern House Social 2026

This year, organisations, places and regional mayors have come together to establish Northern House at The Great Escape - a place to see the best talent from the North, and get together with those creating the platforms and establishing the agenda for the burgeoning Northern Music Sector.

Join us for drinks, conversation, and connection! Meet the incredible partner organisations, and discover how you can get involved. You’ll also hear about the talented Northern artists lighting up the festival and the inspiring work already underway to champion music across and beyond our region.

You must RSVP in order to attend, however entry is first come first serve.

In addition to networking, there will be showcases across Thursday and Friday, from 12pm - 4pm and 7pm - 11pm each day, featuring 16 artists in total.

Northern House @ The Great Escape is supported by:

EMI North, Hull City Council, Kycker, Greater Manchester Combined Authority and the Northern Music Export Office, incorporating the Liverpool City Region. North East, Tees Valley and West Yorkshire Combined Authorities supported by Generator, Launchpad and Northern Music Network
