A popular après-ski village is once again set to take overManchester city centre to celebrate the festive season from next month.
With things starting to feel more festive than ever as the days go on, Bar Hütte is officially on its way back to the city centre, after what was an undeniably successful run in 2021 and the plenty of years prior, and it’s gearing up to be better than ever this year.
15 cosy Alpine cabins are soon to be dotted across the Great Northern square courtyard in just a couple of weeks time to bring a lively, festive, and vibrant atmosphere.
Inspired by some of the coolest après ski bars in Europe, you can expect everything from live music and free-flowing festive drinks, to the chance to try out the bar’s legendary ‘shot skis’, as well sing-along to all of your favourite tunes inside a private wooden karaoke cabin that’s festooned with twinkling tights.
There’ll be prosecco, cocktails, and more brought to you by your very-own hütte host, all while you belt out Christmas karaoke classics.

The Cosy Alpine Hüttes fit up to eight people for Christmas karaoke, and you can secure your exclusive use of the hütte for 1 hour 40 minutes on Mondays and Tuesdays for £50, and between Wednesday – Sunday for £60.
Then, Bar Hütte’s Party Lodges are the perfect way for larger groups to celebrate Christmas – with a magnum of prosecco, karaoke, and drinks flowing for up to two hours all included and only setting you back £150.

Bar Hütte isn’t just for the grown-ups this year either.
There’s also a family-friendly Santa Claus Club booking, which includes a karaoke hütte for one-hour, free hot chocolate, and colouring pads for the kids, plus the chance to get a picture with Santa Claus.

If arts and crafts, and the chance to take a creation home, is more your cup of tea, then there’s also wreath-making sessions to get involved in, which you can find out more and book your tickets for here.

Each workshop comes complete with a complimentary glass of prosecco too.

Science and Industry Museum reveals ‘gloriously gross’ half term events lineup
Emily Sergeant
One of Manchester’s most-visited museums has unveiled its exciting events lineup ahead of half term in a couple of weeks time.
Fancy diving into the “gloriously gross” world of our brilliant bodies?
It’s certainly not an invite you get every day, but as schools across Greater Manchester break up for half term at the end of this month, and parents and carers gear up to entertain the little ones, the Science and Industry Museum has, thankfully, just announced a wide range of events and activities especially for the holidays.
Anyone who considers themselves to be “curious about the incredible inner workings of the human body” are invited to join in with the series of anatomy-themed special events, star-studded appearances, and half term transformations.
And the best bit is that a good chunk of the events planned are actually open for you to get involved with for completely free of charge.
As the curtains on Operation Ouch! are due to close for good on Sunday 9 June, the museum has chosen to dedicate the entire month of May to celebrating the record-breaking exhibition and making sure it goes out in “a blaze of glorious grossness” by having it inspire all the upcoming ‘brilliant bodies’ events – and this half term is no different.

As well as exploring the exhibition before it closes, mini Mancs can also bring a bear (or any soft squishy friend) to the museum and take them round the departments of the ‘Teddy Hospital’, as well as learn all about looking after their brains, bones, and bottoms with fun and fascinating activities, and find out how their skeleton works, what their poo is made of, and why we have blood.
The museum‘s team of Explainers will also be back in action this half term.
They’ll be putting on interactive science shows packed with “fun facts and wow moments” that explore how and why our bodies are all the same, but different too.

Away from the ‘brilliant bodies’ events, if you haven’t had the chance the make the most of the museum’s smash-hit gaming exhibition, Power UP, then this upcoming half term is the ideal time to do so.
Revolution Manchester, the museum’s interactive Experiment gallery, and the Textiles Gallery are also open for exploring for free all throughout the half term week.
Both free entry tickets to the museum, and charged-for tickets for Operation Ouch! Food, Poo and You and Power UP, can be booked now on the Science and Industry Museum website.
You can find more about all the activities taking place at the museum over the half term here.
