Greggs and Primark are back yet again with another fashion collection after the brands’ first collaboration proved to be a smash-hit.
The budget fashion retailer and bakery chain are two of the best-loved brands in the UK, so it came as no surprise that news of them joining forces for a branded fashion collection full of trainers, t-shirts, socks, hoodies, boxers, and more would have gone down so well with fans when it hit shop shelves back in February.
But it turned out to be much more popular than most people expected.
Some of the products from the limited-edition “freshly-baked collab” not only sold out pretty much straight away, but shoppers even found items from the range to be listed on eBay for up to three times the original price.
Given the popularity of the first collection, it makes sense that the two brands would team up once again, and it’s now been announced today that a new 21-piece collection is set to drop in all Primark stores nationwide from Friday 5 August.
This time round, the highly-anticipated collection will include bodysuits, bumbags, bucket hats, and even Croc dupe sling-back clogs.
If next Friday is just too long to wait though, keen fashion fans will able to get their hands on some of the items from the collection ahead of the official launch date, as a Greggs x Primark ‘Snackfest’ bus travels the UK this week and next.
The bus will be stopping-off at five major cities, with it parking up in Cathedral Gardens right here in Manchester city centre this Friday 29 July from 11am-5pm.

Not only is the Snackfest bus bringing items from the collection, but it will also have live music, competitions, and even some special guest appearances too, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled, as the brands seem to be keeping their cards close to their chest.
Speaking ahead of the launch of the collection, Hannah Squirrell – Customer Director at Greggs – said: “The reaction to our first official Greggs clothing collection was incredible and sold out even faster than we anticipated.
“We’re excited to team up with Primark once again to deliver more fun and unique pieces that Greggs fans will wear with pride across the summer and beyond.”
“I believe the best partnerships in fashion are those that are blindingly obvious but never boring or predictable,” added Jermaine Lapwood – Head of Innovation and Future Trends at Primark.
“In a world of collaborations, it is important that we stand out and be different.
“As part of this drop, for the first time in Primark history we are taking the collection on the road and fans will be able to get early access to our own ‘Snackfest’ tour bus, which will pop up across the UK.”

Warrington-born Adolescence star Owen Cooper becomes youngest ever male Emmy winner

Owen Cooper has made history.
The Warrington-born actor who burst onto the scene as a newcomer in the Netflix smash-hit drama series Adolescence, starring alongside other big names like Stephen Graham, Erin Doherty, and Ashley Walters, has become the youngest winner ever in any male acting category at last nights Emmy Awards 2025.
He took home the award for Best Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series.
Youngest Emmy winner ever in any male acting category.
At just 15 years old, Cooper beat out his fellow co-star Ashley Walters for the award, as well as other renowned actors like Javier Bardem, Peter Sarsgaard, and Rob Delaney.
Adolescence, if you haven’t had a chance to watch it yet, is a four-part limited series about a 13-year-old boy who is accused of murdering one of his classmates – with each episode remarkably being filmed in one unflinching and continuous shot.
The truly gripping story unfolds in real time as the main characters search for answers in the wake of a shocking tragedy.
Who is actually responsible? Why did it happen? And could it have been prevented?

Cooper was a complete screen newcomer starring as the young boy Eddie Miller, accused of murder, and the show tells the story of how a family’s world is turned upside because of it.
Taking to the stage to accept his award last night, Cooper – who began taking weekly acting lessons with The Drama Mob here in Manchester – said: “[The win] is just so surreal. Honestly, when I started these drama classes a couple years back, I didn’t expect to be even in the United States, never mind [at The Emmys].
“So I think tonight proves that if you listen and you focus and you step out your comfort zone, you can achieve anything in life.”
Elsewhere on the night, Adolescence cleaned up as a whole.
Co-creator and star of the show, Stephen Graham, took home the Best Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series award, as well as a Writing award alongside co-writer Jack Thorne, while Erin Doherty claimed the Best Supporting Actress accolade in the same category, and director Philip Barantini won the Best Director award.

Everton are reportedly already hoping to sign Jack Grealish from Manchester City permanently
Danny Jones
Everton FC are reportedly already considering signing Jack Grealish on a permanent deal after an impressive start to his spell on loan from Manchester City.
The former Aston Villa talisman has struggled to remain in the starting XI under Pep Guardiola since joining the club in 2021, but since arriving on Merseyside, he’s already been a difference-maker in every match for the Toffees thus far.
Grealish has not only registered four assists in just two starts for Everton but also won the very first player of the month award in the Premier League this season for his contributions.
Safe to say he’s fast made a big impact over in Liverpool – hence why it is now thought that manager David Moyes wants to make his transfer permanent.
Becoming just the 10th Toffee to ever win the accolade, the Birmingham-born creator is now thought to be the primary transfer target, despite the summer window having only recently closed.
He writes that despite the deal between Everton and Man City already including a £50 million option to buy next summer, that number is “not fixed and is more a consequence of accounting than a set price.”
The England international still has two years on his contract in the blue half of Manchester, but the previous valuation (which is half the amount City paid for him in a then record fee for a British player), so it is believed that he could be signed for an even better cut-price offer as his deal runs down.
Put it this way, it looks like the supporters would do just about anything to keep him at the Hill Dickinson.

Bascombe goes on to explain, however, that his salary considerations could be a significant obstacle. Grealish is estimated to be earning approximately £12m a year, which is almost certainly too rich for Everton’s blood.
Taking that into account, it’d be a case of whether or not the Brummy forward would be willing to accept a much lower wage to depart the Etihad Stadium for Everton long-term; alternatively, waiting for him to become a free agent in a few transfer windows’ time would also be an option.
What about you, Blues: would you like to see Jack Grealish stay and fight for his place under Guardiola, or would you understand/support him making his Everton permanent?
Interestingly, there could be yet more shuffling of the pack in the middle of the park for Pep, as a forgotten man is apparently going to be given another chance to revive his City career…
