Hydes has directed over £2 million into upgrading outdoor spaces, installing high-quality furniture, flexible facilities, and modern amenities, all designed to create inviting environments for al fresco drinking, dining, and entertainment</p><p>From lively city centre terraces to scenic countryside gardens, Hydes pubs are designed to offer something for everyone, whether it’s catching up with friends over a cold pint, sharing a meal with family, or unwinding at community-focused outdoor events. The family-owned brewer’s diverse pub locations mean customers can choose between bustling urban spots with modern amenities and tranquil settings with picturesque views, all ready to host memorable summer moments.</p><p>Adam Mayers, managing director of Hydes, said: “Summer is a pivotal time for our pubs, and we’ve worked hard to ensure our outdoor spaces deliver the best possible experience for our customers. Whether enjoying a refreshing drink in the sun, tucking into an al fresco family meal at one of our premium dining pubs, or joining in with the lively atmosphere of our garden festivals, we want our pubs to be the top destination for communities across the region.”</p><p>Hydes has equipped its pubs with high-quality outdoor furniture, flexible facilities, and a calendar of events to keep customers coming back throughout the season. The brewer’s commitment to outdoor hospitality is highlighted by its range of beer gardens, some with tiered seating offering sweeping valley views, others with urban terraces featuring heaters and shelters for comfort, no matter the weather.</p><p>Adam Mayers, added: “Our aim is to make every visit memorable and to encourage people to return again and again. That’s why we support our pubs with everything they need to offer outstanding outdoor hospitality, from great service and facilities to exciting events that bring people together.”</p><p>Founded in 1863, Hydes operates from its brewery in Media City, Salford, and supplies award-winning beers throughout the UK while managing its own growing estate of pubs. </p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://manchester-tv.co.uk/hydes-raises-a-glass-to-summer-and-invites-customers-to-enjoy-top-beer-gardens-across-the-region/">Hydes raises a glass to summer and invites customers to enjoy top beer gardens across the region</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://manchester-tv.co.uk">Manchester TV</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">26390</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Unprecedented demand for SME funding from e-commerce businesses in North West</title> <link>https://manchester-tv.co.uk/unprecedented-demand-for-sme-funding-from-e-commerce-businesses-in-north-west/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Manchester TV]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 30 Jun 2025 21:38:26 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Buzz]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://manchester-tv.co.uk/?p=26387</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>One of the UK’s fastest growing revenue-based lenders, 365 Finance, based in London with operations in the UK and Ireland, reveals latest regional insights in alternative lending – with exceptional growth in the North West of England for SMEs in e-commerce.

The median advance approved for online businesses in the North West of the country has now increased by 483% year-on-year*, to an amount of £175,000.</p><p>Within the region there has also been an uplift in the number of advances applied for by e-commerce business owners, with the total advanced funding from 365 Finance having increased substantially. The average monthly card sales of the companies funded by 365 Finance in this sector is currently £110,000 – another significant increase and consistently higher than other sectors.</p><p>Jagriti Singh, Head of Credit at 365 Finance, said, “The most rewarding thing for us as a responsible lender is to be able to truly facilitate the growth of SMEs across the country, and to support those businesses which are both entrepreneurial and reinventing themselves.</p><p>“We are finding that SMEs based up North are increasingly turning to revenue-based finance to bolster their businesses, to help with staffing costs, new equipment and systems, e-commerce platform development and digital infrastructure, along with the ongoing higher rent and rates.</p><p>“The North West’s digital sector is currently experiencing unprecedented growth, with our data showing remarkable expansion in funding scale and frequency. The statistics show a real shift in the region’s digital economy.”</p><p>For funding of £10,000 to £500,000, all qualifying SMEs can apply online with 365 Finance knowing approval can be within 24 hours.</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://manchester-tv.co.uk/unprecedented-demand-for-sme-funding-from-e-commerce-businesses-in-north-west/">Unprecedented demand for SME funding from e-commerce businesses in North West</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://manchester-tv.co.uk">Manchester TV</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">26387</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Great Gift Card Giveaway campaign launches in Oldham</title> <link>https://manchester-tv.co.uk/great-gift-card-giveaway-campaign-launches-in-oldham/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Manchester TV]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 30 Jun 2025 18:17:45 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Buzz]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://manchester-tv.co.uk/?p=26384</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>£500 of Oldham Gift Cards are set to be given away between 5th July and 19th July by local businesses, encouraging ‘shop local’ and boosting the local economy A new Great Gift Card Giveaway campaign is due to go live in Oldham on 5th July,</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://manchester-tv.co.uk/great-gift-card-giveaway-campaign-launches-in-oldham/">Great Gift Card Giveaway campaign launches in Oldham</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://manchester-tv.co.uk">Manchester TV</a>.</p>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>£500 of Oldham Gift Cards are set to be given away between 5th July and 19th July by local businesses, encouraging ‘shop local’ and boosting the local economy</p><p>A new Great Gift Card Giveaway campaign is due to go live in Oldham on 5th July, giving people a chance to instantly win an Oldham Gift Card as a reward for shopping local. </p><p>Between 5th July and 19th July, businesses who are part of the Oldham Gift Card will be handing out small cards to their customers featuring a QR code linking to an online game which will reveal if the customer has won an Oldham Gift Card.</p><p>£500 in Oldham Gift Cards will be given away during the campaign with 1 x £100 Oldham Gift Card, 2 x £50 Oldham Gift Cards, 8 x £25 Oldham Gift Cards and 10 x £10 Oldham Gift Cards to be won.<br />Oldham’s gift card was introduced by Oldham Council in August 2024 as a way to encourage local shopping and keep spend locked into the area.

In stark contrast, the UAE retains its crown as the world’s leading wealth magnet, with a record net inflow of +9,800 relocating millionaires expected this year — over 2,000 more than the US in 2nd place. +7,500 new wealthy migrants are expected to make America home by year-end.</p><p>Dr. Juerg Steffen, CEO at Henley & Partners, says this sharp divergence highlights the rising influence of strategic wealth migration on global economic power shifts. “2025 marks a pivotal moment. For the first time in a decade of tracking, a European country leads the world in millionaire outflows. This isn’t just about changes to the tax regime. It reflects a deepening perception among the wealthy that greater opportunity, freedom, and stability lie elsewhere. The long-term implications for Europe and the UK’s economic competitiveness and investment appeal are significant.”</p><p>Europe’s wealth hubs in retreat — and reinvention</p><p>The UK is not alone in its struggles. For the first time, EU heavyweights France, Spain, and Germany are expected to see net HNWI losses in 2025 — with projected net outflows of –800, –500, and –400 millionaires, respectively. Ireland (–100), Norway (–150), and Sweden (–50) are also beginning to see significant wealth losses, with many affluent Europeans relocating to more investor-friendly hubs on the continent.</p><p>Key beneficiaries of this trend are Switzerland, set to attract a net gain of +3,000 migrating millionaires this year, while Italy, Portugal, and Greece are also forecast to see record inflows of +3,600, +1,400 and +1,200, respectively — driven by favorable tax regimes, lifestyle appeal, and active investment migration programs. Southern Europe is fast emerging as a new center of gravity for wealth migration in the region, with Monaco (+200) remaining popular, especially among ultra- HNWIs from the UK, Africa, and the Middle East.</p><p>Europe’s smaller markets are also gaining strong momentum. Montenegro (+150) tops global millionaire growth over the past decade with a remarkable 124% increase in resident millionaires, driven in part by its citizenship by investment program (operational from 2019 to 2022), low taxes, Adriatic coastline, and EU accession prospects. Malta (+500) follows with 87% growth, though its trajectory may be impacted by April’s European Court of Justice ruling against its citizenship by naturalization process. Latvia is also on the rise, with 70% millionaire growth between 2014 and 2024, and a projected net inflow of another +100 HNWIs this year.</p><p>Andrew Amoils, Head of Research at New World Wealth, says “If one reviews the fastest growing wealth markets in the world over the past decade, it is noticeable that most of these countries are either popular destinations for migrating millionaires — such as Montenegro, the UAE, Malta, the USA, and Costa Rica — or emerging market tech hubs like China, India, and Taiwan. This demonstrates the importance of millionaire migration in driving new wealth formation in a country.”</p><p>Global winners: Where the wealth is heading</p><p>Outside of Europe, strong demand from the UK, India, Russia, Southeast Asia, and Africa, facilitated by attractive golden visa options, has reinforced the UAE’s position as the world’s most sought-after wealth haven (+9,800). Saudi Arabia is the biggest riser on this year’s inbound list, projected to see a net inflow of +2,400 new millionaires in 2025, with the kingdom benefiting from a surge in returning nationals and international investors settling in Riyadh and Jeddah.</p><p>As Misha Glenny, Rector at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna and an award-winning former BBC journalist, points out in the Henley Private Wealth Migration Report 2025, “President Trump’s decision to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities before toying with the idea in public of regime change has thrown the whole pack of cards up into the air. Many will now likely hedge while waiting to see what the short-term and mid-term fall out of these developments are.”</p><p>Traditional destinations such as Singapore (+1,600), Australia (+1,000), Canada (+1,000), and New Zealand (+150) appear to be losing their appeal for wealthy entrepreneurs, with their lowest net inflows on record provisionally expected in 2025. Thailand (+450) is rapidly emerging as Southeast Asia’s new safe haven, with Bangkok positioning itself as a key rival to Singapore. Thailand’s vibrant capital is increasingly favored by HNWIs from China, Vietnam, and South Korea, drawn by its international schools, growing financial services sector, and high-end real estate offerings.</p><p>Hong Kong (SAR China) (+800) is starting to see steady inflows from the rest of Asia following a challenging period of political uncertainty. Many top-earning executives from fast-growing hi-tech companies in Shenzhen are now basing themselves in the city-state. Likewise, Japan (+600) is seeing a higher HNWI influx, particularly from China, due to its relative security and political stability. </p><p>Central American and Caribbean jurisdictions — including Costa Rica (+350), Panama (+300), the Cayman Islands (+200), and Bermuda (+50) — are all set to attract record numbers of wealthy migrants to their shores, and three African nations — Morocco (+100), Mauritius (+100), and the Seychelles (+50) — make it onto the inbound millionaire migration rankings for 2025. </p><p>Global losers: Where the wealth is leaving</p><p>Since the 2016 Brexit vote, the UK has shifted from being a net magnet for millionaires to a net exporter, with a record –16,500 HNWIs expected to leave in 2025. The latest surge is driven in part by sweeping tax reforms. The October 2024 budget introduced sharp hikes in capital gains and inheritance taxes, while new rules targeting non-domiciled residents and family wealth structures — enacted by the former Conservative government — came into effect in April, sparking what some are calling a “WEXIT” (wealth exit). Affluent individuals are relocating to tax-friendly jurisdictions such as the UAE, Monaco, and Malta, as well as to lifestyle havens including Italy, Greece, Portugal, and Switzerland. Many high-earning execs are settling in the expanding wealth hubs of Dubai, Florida, Milan, St. Julian’s, Lisbon, the Athenian Riviera, Zug, and Lugano.</p><p>Prof. Trevor Williams, Chair and Co-founder at FXGuard and former Chief Economist at Lloyds Bank Commercial Banking, says the UK’s economy has performed poorly over the past decade, and is the only nation in the W10 (the world’s 10 wealthiest countries) that has seen negative millionaire growth. “Since 2014, the number of resident millionaires in the UK dropped by –9% compared with the W10’s global average growth of +40%. Over the same period, the US saw a 78% increase in millionaires — the fastest wealth growth among the W10.”</p><p>In Asia, South Korea is expected to see significant net outflows of HNWIs in 2025 (–2,400), more than double last year’s figure, following a period of economic and political turbulence. Vietnam (–300) is also beginning to see a worrying uptick in millionaire departures, and Pakistan (–100) continues to lose millionaires to the UAE. Taiwan (–100) presents a mixed picture: while its tech-driven economy remains robust with +65% millionaire growth over the past decade, growing tensions with China and a lack of luxury real estate options appear to be unsettling some of its wealthiest residents.</p><p>Despite ongoing instability in the Middle East, Israel is expected to show relatively modest outflows (–350), primarily to the US, while Lebanon (–200) faces concerning losses, with many wealthy individuals relocating to Cyprus, Greece, and the UAE. Iran (–200) is also losing HNWIs to the UAE.</p><p>BRICS bounces back bar Brazil</p><p>In Latin America, Brazil (–1,200) and Colombia (–150) are both expected to see sizeable wealth drains, with popular destinations for departing millionaires being the US (especially Florida), Portugal, the Cayman Islands, Costa Rica, and Panama.</p><p>Among other BRICS nations, China (–7,800), India (–3,500), Russia (–1,500), and South Africa (–250) are all on track to record their lowest net millionaire losses since Covid. Outflows from India and South Africa are being offset in part by the return of HNWIs from the UK, while in China, the booming tech hubs of Shenzhen and Hangzhou — as well as rapid growth in the entertainment and hospitality sectors — are encouraging more affluent Chinese to stay.</p><p>As Dr. Parag Khanna, best-selling author and founder and CEO at AlphaGeo, notes in the Henley Private Wealth Migration Report 2025, Asia remains the world’s most powerful economic engine and a rising force in global private wealth. “Asia’s wealth landscape is a dynamic blend of ambition and caution. Singapore and Japan are solidifying their reputations as global wealth havens, while China and India are balancing domestic opportunity with the desire for diversification.

This marks a 13% gain so far in 2025, making the pound one of the top-performing major currencies of the year.</p><p>“The pound is in flight right now and we believe it is likely going higher,” says Nigel Green, CEO of deVere Group. “Several key forces are aligning that will keep sterling on the front foot for the foreseeable future.”</p><p>The rally comes as the dollar struggles under the weight of weakening US economic data, rising concerns over fiscal sustainability, and ongoing doubts about Washington’s trade and tariff policy direction under President Donald Trump’s administration.</p><p>“Dollar weakness is undoubtedly playing a role here, but it would be a mistake to attribute all of sterling’s strength to that alone,” says the chief executive. </p><p>“We’re seeing structural changes in the UK economy that deserve recognition.”</p><p>Sterling’s rebound is even more striking when viewed in context. Just three years ago, the pound was reeling in the aftermath of former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss’s mini-budget, which triggered a dramatic sell-off in both the currency and UK government bonds.</p><p>“Sterling has come a long way since the chaos of 2022,” says Nigel Green. </p><p>“What we’re witnessing now is a re-rating of the currency as international investors regain confidence in the UK’s political and economic stability.”</p><p>The latest GDP figures show the UK economy expanded 0.7% in the first quarter of 2025—beating expectations and outpacing several major European economies. Consumer spending remains resilient, bolstered by stronger-than-expected wage growth. </p><p>Meanwhile, business investment is picking up following the announcement of a new trade agreement with the United States, finalized at the G7 summit earlier this month.</p><p>“The fundamentals are turning in the UK’s favor,” says Nigel Green. </p><p>“Growth is picking up. Inflation is broadly under control. The jobs market remains solid. And the recent trade deal with the US is giving British exporters something to cheer about.”</p><p>The Bank of England, while holding interest rates steady at 4.25%, is expected to start easing later this year, though at a slower pace than the US Federal Reserve. </p><p>Markets are increasingly betting that the BoE will be more cautious about cutting rates too aggressively, especially given the improving economic backdrop.</p><p>“We expect the interest rate differential between the US and the UK to narrow over the coming months,” says Nigel Green. “This will remove a key pillar of dollar strength and create further upside for sterling.”</p><p>Investor sentiment towards the pound has shifted decisively. Hedge funds and institutional investors have increased their long positions on sterling in recent weeks, betting on further appreciation.</p><p>deVere’s expectation is that the pound will likely breach the $1.40 level within the next 12 months, as the dollar remains under pressure and UK data continues to surprise on the upside.</p><p>“We are telling clients to prepare for sterling strength to remain a market theme well into 2026,” says Nigel Green.</p><p>“There’s a global push away from overreliance on the US dollar as a reserve currency,” he says. “That macro trend adds another layer of support for alternatives like sterling.”</p><p>While acknowledging that short-term volatility is possible, especially around upcoming Bank of England decisions and US political headlines, deVere is bullish.</p><p> “The pound appears to be on the move—and investors should position accordingly,” concludes Nigel Green.</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://manchester-tv.co.uk/sterlings-rally-has-more-room-to-run-devere-ceo/">Sterling’s rally has more room to run: deVere CEO</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://manchester-tv.co.uk">Manchester TV</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">26376</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Celebrate Emmeline Pankhurst’s birthday at the Pankhurst Museum</title> <link>https://manchester-tv.co.uk/celebrate-emmeline-pankhursts-birthday-at-the-pankhurst-museum/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Manchester TV]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 26 Jun 2025 18:44:19 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Buzz]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://manchester-tv.co.uk/?p=26373</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>The Pankhurst Museum is throwing a party to celebrate the birthday of one of Manchester’s most famous daughters: Emmeline Pankhurst (1858 to 1928).

Taking place on Sunday 13 July (11am to 4pm), there will be free entry (normally £5 in advance / £6 on the day), cakes and live music to mark the occasion and everyone is welcome! The day also sees the launch of the museum’s new digital guide, which will make visiting the birthplace of the suffragette movement even more accessible for visitors.</p><p>It was through a gathering of women in her home that Emmeline Pankhurst formed the suffragette movement, as the Women’s Social and Political Union would become known, and now it is in celebration of her legacy that people gather each year to mark her birthday. In addition to being able to enjoy complimentary cake there will be a musical performance at 1pm by violinist Amanda Schrem, a Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) graduate who has played with the English National Ballet Orchestra. And to reflect the spirit of the occasion, visitors will be invited to make colourful friendship bracelets or cards to give to their nearest and dearest.</p><p>Emmeline’s birthday party is a reminder that from this simple domestic setting she and her daughters – Christabel, Sylvia and Adela – would go on to create one of history’s most radical and remembered campaigns for change. It’s a story that captures the imagination of visitors from around the world and, to ensure that the museum is connected to the world, the Pankhurst Museum has launched on Bloomberg Connects.</p><p>Bloomberg Connects offers free digital guides to museums, galleries, sculpture parks, gardens, and cultural spaces around the world. Users of the app will be able to find out about the Pankhurst family, discover the history of the house, view floorplans and more. Importantly it makes the experience more accessible with the ability to translate between languages and screen reader support both features of the guide.</p><p>Dr Hannah Priest, Heritage Manager for the Pankhurst Museum, says, “As a small museum with a huge story to tell we are delighted to be able to enhance the experience that we can offer to our visitors and launching our new digital guide on Emmeline’s birthday is an exciting milestone. It also means that we are connected with cultural organisations around the world and that anyone interested in our story can find out more.”</p><p>Tickets to Emmeline Birthday Party are bookable in advance here. Entry is free, but with no core or government funding, donations are always welcome.</p><p>Bloomberg Connects app can be downloaded for free from Google Play or the App Store.</p><p>The Pankhurst Museum, tearoom and shop are open every Thursday and Sunday from 11am to 4pm (last entry is 3pm). Donations help to support the work of the Pankhurst Trust, which oversees the Grade II listed building and ensures that it remains open as a heritage attraction.

Contact your GP practice” – to many millions of men every day,” says P-Wave Brand Manager Mark Wintle at Robert Scott, which is based in Greenfield, near Oldham.</p><p>“Our unique partnership with NHS England began 18 months ago – as part of a major earlier cancer diagnosis drive. Diagnosing cancer early means it is easier to treat and can save lives, which is why NHS England chose to collaborate with P-Wave, urging men to be aware of changes in their bodies and to contact their GP practice if they notice symptoms that could be a sign of cancer. We are proud to have played such an important role in encouraging men to consult their GPs if they see blood in their urine, with our specially branded Slant6 urinal and trough screens.</p><p>“The campaign has gained huge momentum as many large businesses have come on board to support this important and potentially life-saving initiative. We are thrilled that this ever-growing group of partners includes Sodexo, phs Group, Balfour Beatty. Mitchells & Butlers, and even Manchester United football club. The more men see the message, the more effective the campaign becomes.”</p><p>Literally saving lives<br />“It is time to put an increasing focus on the washroom as a centre for wellbeing and men’s health,” says Mark Wintle, “and there have already been many success stories as result of this unique NHS partnership initiative.”</p><p>Cancer survivor Berry Mulder credits the NHS England message seen on a P-Wave urinal mat in a Marks and Spencer store in Bristol with helping to save his life. After reading the prompt, he sought medical advice and was later diagnosed and successfully treated for testicular cancer. Now more than six months cancer-free, Berry reached out to the P-Wave team to express his gratitude, saying: “Dear P-Wave, I’d like to thank you and the NHS from the bottom of my heart – because you probably saved my life”.</p><p>Part of delivering on an ESG strategy<br />While the health and wellbeing benefits of P-Wave’s NHS partnership are obvious, there is another positive aspect to the company’s biodegradable urinal screens – making them a must for facilities managers who need to tick as many ESG boxes as possible.</p><p>“Sustainability is important to us, and our Slant6 and Trough urinal mats are made from recyclable plastic, which is a good start,” says Mark Wintle. “But here’s the inconvenient truth: after a month in a busy public loo, no one wants to recycle a urinal mat. The intention is there, but where is the reality? Unless incinerated, they will likely end up in landfill. It’s not glamorous – but it is the reason we had to think beyond the recycling bin.</p><p>“For several years we have been incorporating EcoPure® into our urinal mats during manufacturing. It is a clever organic additive which does not change the way they perform while in use, and doesn’t affect their shelf. But once they’re in landfill? That’s when the magic happens.</p><p>“EcoPure attracts microbes and accelerates natural biodegradation. Unlike oxo-degradable plastics (which break into harmful microplastics), EcoPure-treated plastics fully biodegrade – safely and responsibly. No toxins, no microplastic soup – just CO2, methane, and finally, nutrient-rich soil biomass.</p><p>“Since 2019, we have been independently testing our mats at Eden Research Laboratory in the United States, under ASTM D5511 – a test designed to simulate landfill conditions. The latest results show that after six years, our urinal mats are 85% biodegraded and are still breaking down. That’s not just clever chemistry, it’s proof that even the dirtiest of products (literally) can be part of a cleaner future.<br />“We chose to use EcoPure not because it was the easy option, but because it was the right one. Our urinal mats already led the market in design and fragrance performance, so adding sustainability to the mix was the natural next step.”</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://manchester-tv.co.uk/robert-scotts-p-wave-brand-has-placed-over-one-million-life-saving-urinal-mats-in-18-months/">Robert Scott’s P-Wave® brand has placed over one million life-saving urinal mats in 18 months</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://manchester-tv.co.uk">Manchester TV</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">26370</post-id> </item> <item> <title>HUGE Champagne Supernova – Oasis Pre-Parties Announced at Diecast’s Brooklyn Beer Hall</title> <link>https://manchester-tv.co.uk/huge-champagne-supernova-oasis-pre-parties-announced-at-diecasts-brooklyn-beer-hall/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Manchester TV]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 25 Jun 2025 23:09:48 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Buzz]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://manchester-tv.co.uk/?p=26367</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>This July, as the biggest band in the world returns to Heaton Park, Manchester’s favourite pre-gig party destination steps up with something legendary.

Diecast is proud to announce Champagne Supernova Bottomless, five unforgettable daytime sessions set to the sound of Britpop bangers, good vibes and flowing fizz – all taking place in the heart of the city’s iconic Northern Quarter.</p><p>Running across Friday 11th, Saturday 12th, Wednesday 16th, Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th July, from 11 am to 4 pm, these lively brunch-style sessions invite Oasis fans to get into the spirit with 90 minutes of bottomless drinks, a freshly made pizza, and a high-energy soundtrack of 90s anthems. Drinks include Frozen Daiquiris, Prosecco and Pilsner, all included in the £35 per person ticket price.</p><p>Each ticket also includes your choice of pizza – from Margherita, Vegan Margherita, Pepperoni or Diavola – served fresh from Diecast’s industrial-scale kitchens. To really dial things up, guests can upgrade to free-flowing Champagne for an additional £25 per person, for that full rock ’n’ roll star moment.</p><p>Whether you’re a mad-for-it mum, a Britpop dad, or part of the new generation of fans raised on the legacy of the Gallagher brothers, Champagne Supernova is your ultimate warm-up. Dust off your 90s clobber, pull on the parkas, and belt out the tunes that defined a generation. From Blur and Pulp to Ocean Colour Scene – and of course, Oasis on repeat – this is the sound of summer in Manchester.</p><p>Set inside a vast former factory, Diecast is Manchester’s biggest and boldest new hospitality venue – a multi-sensory playground packed with production kitchens, sun-soaked terraces, a Casamigos frozen margarita bar, hidden karaoke rooms and its very own nightclub. At its heart is the Brooklyn Beer Hall – the city’s largest indoor beer hall and the perfect place to come together before heading to the gig.</p><p>To make things even easier, shuttle buses to Heaton Park will run directly from outside Diecast and its sister venue The Firehouse, allowing fans to flow from bottomless brunch straight to the gates of Heaton Park in style.</p><p>Bookings are now open at diecastmcr.com/bottomless. Spaces are limited, and only booking slots named ‘Bottomless’ are valid.</p><p>It’s bottomless. It’s Britpop. It’s brilliant.<br />Sing it loud. Pour it proud. Then dance if you want to dance.</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://manchester-tv.co.uk/huge-champagne-supernova-oasis-pre-parties-announced-at-diecasts-brooklyn-beer-hall/">HUGE Champagne Supernova – Oasis Pre-Parties Announced at Diecast’s Brooklyn Beer Hall</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://manchester-tv.co.uk">Manchester TV</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">26367</post-id> </item> </channel></rss> If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
