An all-singing, all-dancing cinema flowing with cocktails, beers and popcorn is opening in Manchester on Sunday.
The Bottomless Singing Cinema is moving into Revolution on Oxford Road on August 15 for a full day of classic musical flicks – with guests encouraged to dress up and singalong as they tuck into all the drinks and snacks they can manage.
Here’s what you can see at the Bottomless Singing Cinema this weekend.
Mamma Mia! will be showing at the Singing Cinema
Mamma Mia – 11am entry
Nothing screams singalong more than Mamma Mia!
This brazenly cheesy star-studded flick is packed with Abba songs from start to finish – with the jukebox musical comedy written around the group’s smash-hits including ‘Gimme Gimme Gimme’, ‘Honey Honey’ and ‘Dancing Queen’, as well as the titular track.
The Greatest Showman broke box-office records to become the fifth-highest-grossing live action musical of all time after being released in 2017 – boasting a Grammy Award-winning soundtrack that shot to the top of the UK charts and stayed there for 11 consecutive weeks.

It’s fondly remembered as one of the most fun musicals of modern times – and it’ll be beamed up on the big screen in Manchester on Sunday afternoon.
All T-Birds and Pink Ladies are welcome at Revs on Sunday afternoon – as audiences are invited to singalong with Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsson in the classic American high school musical set in the 1950s.

Guests are encouraged to bring their leather jackets and Rydell kit – with Grease kicking off from 4.30pm.
Originally released in 1975, Rocky Horror has earned a reputation as the quintessential ‘midnight movie’ – the kind of film during which viewers would break the code of conduct, shout back at the screen and singalong.
At the Bottomless Singing Cinema on Sunday, you’ll be able to do just that – with Rocky Horror playing from 7.30pm.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show will be screening on Sunday evening
Every event at the Singing Cinema comes with bottomless booze – so you might want to think about trying to wangle Monday off work if you can.
Drinks included in the offer are:
Aperol Spritz
Ketel V&T
Blank Canvas
Amstel
Prosecco
Bloody Mary
Remember, there’s also Heineken 0.0% and selected soft drinks available in the bottomless deal, too, if you wanted to take it easy.
If you don’t fancy going all out on drinks at all, simply stick to the bottomless popcorn option, kick back and watch the movies with a bit of a sing-song.
The Bottomless Singing Cinema is taking place in Manchester on Sunday 15 August 2021.
Tickets are available from £25 per head – and you can grab yours here.

Five places to watch The Traitors finale live on the big screen in and around Manchester
Danny Jones
With this year’s The Traitors finale just around the corner, Greater Manchester and the rest of the UK are preparing for one very big United Kingdom watchalong, including live viewing parties on the big screen.
Some places showed the grand finale last time around, and with the conclusion of series four fast approaching, even more have organised their own Traitors screenings in central Manchester and further afield, too.
We know plenty of you will be more than happy watching it at home, but there’s something about the idea of watching it in a room with a load of excited people over a few pints that just gets us buzzing.
All that being said, here are some places in town and beyond that are hosting screenings of The Traitors’ grand final this coming Friday, 23 January.
Live screening of The Traitors finale in Greater Manchester
1. Nell’s – Northern Quarter
First up on our list is the pizza palace that is Nell’s, specifically the one located inside beloved neighbourhood bar Common in NQ.
The place will be filling up from 8pm, ahead of the show starting half an hour later, and the full food and drinks menu will be available as normal. It’s selling out fast, so book your spot at ‘the roundtable’ now, whilst you still can.
Heading across the city centre to Gay Village, just a road over from the main throughfare of Canal Street, Richmond St’s Cockatoo Club is also holding a Traitors watch party.
Not only being played on the large projector, but also being hosted by cult favourite drag queen, Annabelle Hecter, this one should be a hoot and a half.
3. Fairfield Social Club – Greengate
Next up is one of the first ones not only to announce this year, but hop on the bandwagon of The Traitors watchalongs to begin with.
Fairfield Social Club (also the home of GRUB) are one of the experts when it comes to events like these, and it’s no surprise tickets are also disappearing rapidly. Find out more down below.
There are freebies for quiz winners, as well as the best fancy dress and Claudia Winkleman doubles.
4. Cultplex – Cheetham Hill
Our penultimate spot on the list is fellow royalty when it comes to grassroots events and championing alternative entertainment – they also happen to be the toast of Red Bank.
The Cultplex cinema team are used to smaller screenings, and if anything, this might pull in one of the most mainstream crowds all year, but they always deliver no matter what’s on the box. You can reserve your seats HERE.
5. The Light – Stockport
Last but not least, if you want to see how this season’s drama ends on a REALLY big telly, then you can always book yourself in for a trip to your nearest Light cinema location.
The Stockport branch has great food and drink, comfy recliner seats, plus plenty more – and if you’ve never done one of these live screening events before, this is a great place to start.

Manchester’s biggest live yoga class is back for 2026 to celebrate International Women’s Day.
After the first event sold out in days, Yoga Social Club has now announced an additional morning date for its highly anticipated International Women’s Day Yoga + String Quartet celebration, giving even more women the chance to take part in the unique yoga and live music experience right here in Manchester.
Taking place the day before International Women’s Day 2026, the second session has now been released following ‘overwhelming demand’ from the local community.
The two-hour immersive experience combines 50-minutes of breathwork and yoga set to live music from the Manchester String Quartet, performing works by female composers and artists like Beyoncé, Celine Dion, and plenty other iconic female music artists.
It’s then followed by an hour of ‘relaxed’ networking with refreshments.
The session – led by Yoga Social Club, Christina Whittingham – is designed to bring people together through movement, music, and meaningful connection.
“This event isn’t just about yoga,” Christina commented. “It’s about creating space to pause, breathe, connect and celebrate women in a really uplifting and joyful way, all while being surrounded by beautiful live music.
“Whether you come with friends or on your own, you’ll leave feeling connected, energised and part of something really special.”

Yoga Social Club has gone from strength to strength since first launching.
What started as a small community-focused concept has expanded into a much wider network of classes and events led by trained community leaders – with sessions now running across more than 30 areas throughout Manchester, the North West, and the UK.
The International Women’s Day Yoga + String Quartet experience is taking place on Saturday 7 March from 9:30-11:30am at Hallé St Peter’s in Ancoats, and participants of all abilities and yoga experience levels are welcome.
