Mother’s mission is to facilitate radical and robust queer performance platforms in regional spaces to increase LGBTQ participation and engagement with wider audiences.

Mother’s aim is to foster abiding relationships with venues to cultivate a thriving, cohesive network of creative support for regional LGBTQ artists and wider audiences – particularly for marginalised communities and areas of cultural isolation.

Mother not only nurtures regional, new and emerging talent but also provides greater opportunities for existing and established LGBTQ artists to perform in the regions.

Since 2009 Mother’s Ruin has hosted events in underground clubs, pubs, established theatres, old mills and intimate studio spaces in and around Manchester and the North West.
