About Us

Essentially, Icebreakers is a self-help group based in Manchester. Our members establish social networks through the group and often make lifelong friendships. We’ve been here since 1986 and thousands of men have used the group.

We must be getting something right!

The group holds meetings every Wednesday at 8pm at Princess House, above Alter Ego on Princess Street, Manchester, and has occasional social events too.

We hope that after you have been coming for some time, you will develop new friendships and a social network. Members usually leave once they have done that, because their main reason for attending Icebreakers no longer exists. Once that happens, we feel that we have done our job!
