Friday evening attendees can now head to the Pendulum Hotel Foyer, to sign in for the evening's entertainment!
Depending on overall hotel occupancy, we may potentially set up a satellite registration area nearer to the Cotton Theatre doors. Don't worry, our helpful staff will be there to guide you!
Exact Registration start time will depend on the other events running at the venue. If we're able to start a little earlier, we will :)
TFN: Manchester's first ever Friday evening show gets underway!
No need to rush, we'll be opening doors a little early to give you time to take your seats.
Remember, this is a limited-seating theatre-style room, so please fill all available seats so your fellow TFNationals can enjoy the show!

With Friday evening's entertainment concluded, it's time to grab some sleep (or, maybe socialise some more in the Garden Bar?) ahead of tomorrow's big day!
Registration & Merch Collection opens in the Pendulum Hotel Foyer.
Registration will be open for most of the day, so please pop by at your convenience to collect your entry pass and and pre-ordered merch (and keep a look out for any additional items we may have on offer!).
The first hour in our Trader, Artist and Guest areas can be busy - if you'd prefer a more chilled start, come and join us in the Cotton Theatre for some classic Saturday morning entertainment.
TFN: Manchester 2026 officially gets underway, as our Trader Stalls, Forge Artists and Guests areas open to attendees!
At this event, we operate dual "main halls" in the Pioneer and Pendulum Suites - make sure to visit them both!
As with our other conventions, we expect the first hour to be a busy period. If you'd prefer a more laid-back start to the day, feel free to socialise in The Garden Bar, or watch some light entertainment in The Cotton Theatre, until the initial rush is over - there'll be plenty of TFNationals on hand to keep you company!
It's time for the entertainment to begin! Join our hosts as we run through the day's panels.
Keep an eye on this page for more panels to be added ahead of the convention!
Our panels break for lunch. Why not see what The Garden Bar has to offer?
(Trader, Forge and Guest areas remain open)
Your chance to put questions and suggestions to some of the TFNation crew.
It's time for our two "main halls" housing our Trader Stalls, Forge Artists and Guests areas to close for another event.
Head on over to the Cotton Theatre for our last few stage segments of the evening - the Garden Bar is also a great place to unwind after an action-filled day!
TFN: Manchester 2026 has come to an end for another year!
See our guests for a final time, and maybe, just maybe we'll have something fun to tell you before we depart!
For those sticking around, we'll meet you in The Garden Bar!
Roll Out!
