Fac 51 Hacienda

Fac 51 Hacienda (also known as simply The Hacienda) was one of the most well known clubs in Manchester during the Madchester years of the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was largely financed by the record label Factory Records and the band New Order. It was located in Whitworth Street.

The Hacienda opened in 1982 and survived until 1997, despite considerable and persistent financial troubles. During this time the club was mainly supported by record sales from New Order. Although peaking in popularity during the rise of the rave era, most of the money ended up circulating to drug dealers and the Hacienda itself saw very little of the nightly expenditure.
