Twestival venue confirmed

The place better-known for footballing parties is to be the venue for the city’s first Twestival. Yes, Living Room on Deansgate will be home to Manchester Twitterati’s finest in the name of good cause, charity:water.
The event is being held in the city for the first time (register your interest below) and will raise money and awareness about the world’s water resources as well as being a fun offline event for a group which has formed online using the micro-blogging platform Twitter.
Manchester’s Twestival organiser Katie Moffat said there had already been a lot of interest in the event in cities across the world and in London tickets sold out within ours of being made available online.
“As soon as we announced that there was going to be a Manchester Twestival we had a fantastic response both from individuals wanting to help out and companies offering us donations for the charity auction.
“No one working on Twestival around the world is getting paid, everyone is fitting in the organisation of the events around their jobs and other commitments; to me, the enthusiasm and dedication to make every city Twestival a success, is a clear demonstration of the power a social network like Twitter has to mobilise a group of people into action.”
The Twestival will be held on February 12 from 6.30pm at the Living Room, Deansgate.
If you want to get involved, you can get all the updates at the website or via @MancTwester on Twitter.
