PiGs Manchester 2025 is nearly upon us!

The countdown is on until the final PiGs AKA People in Glazing Society networking event of the year on Thursday 13 November, and what a way to round off 2025 it is set to be.

PiGs Manchester will take place at Revolucion De Cuba, 11 Peter St, Manchester M2 5QR, bringing together professionals from across the glazing and fenestration industry for another evening of relaxed networking, great conversations, and good company.

As always, PiGs Manchester promises to be a must-attend occasion, with industry friends, colleagues, and new faces alike coming together to celebrate another busy year in style. With attendance numbers already looking strong, it is shaping up to be one of, it not our busiest events of 2025.

PiGs events have become a staple of the glazing calendar, offering a unique and informal space for people from all parts of the sector, from fabricators and installers to suppliers and systems houses, to catch up, share ideas, and forge lasting connections.

George Lewis, Editor at PiGs and Modern Joinery News, said: “We can’t wait to welcome everyone to our final PiGs of the year in Manchester. The PiGs community continues to grow with every event, and it’s always fantastic to see so many familiar faces alongside new ones joining the fold. Manchester is always one of our liveliest venues, so I know it’s going to be a brilliant night to end the year on a high.”

Whether you are a long-time PiGs regular or attending for the first time, everyone is welcome to join us for an evening that celebrates the people behind the glazing industry.
