Wilko’s half price Pick & Mix deal is back once again at hundreds of stores across the UK for a limited time only.
Stocking up on sweet treats to satisfy those sugar cravings is always tempting at the best of times, but it’s perhaps even more so when you know you can save yourself a few pennies while you’re at it – and this is probably why Wilko‘s half price Pick & Mix offer always seems to go down so well.
Now that schools are out for the holidays, and Easter is the ideal time to treat yourself to something sweet, the retail chain has decided to bring back its legendary 50% off discount by popular demand for a limited-time-only, and it means that cups of sweets will be priced at £1 for a standard size, rather than the usual price of £2.
A large cup will be reduced from £3 to £1.50, and the extra large cup will cost £2 instead of £4.

Wilko’s Pick & Mix is known for featuring a wide variety of retro sweets that take you right back to your childhood.

Cola bottles, chocolate jazzies, jelly snakes, gummy teeth, fizzy winders, and fudge pieces are just some of the treats you can choose from.
All you’ll need to do is pick your choice of cup, fill it up to the top with your favourite sweets chocked inside, while making sure to remember to keep it so the lid still fits securely, and then head over to the till where the discount will be automatically applied.

There’s over 400 Wilko stores in the UK, with the half price deal available in all that sell Pick & Mix, and as has been the case in the past when shoppers have flocked to their nearest branch, Wilko is expecting the offer to draw in the crowds once again this Easter.
Just as they did for the rumoured dates, the experts at SeatPick have gone on to analyse the average cost of accommodation in Manchester on the now-confirmed concert nights in June 2027 to see how much out-of-town fans may have to part with.
It was revealed that hotel prices have surged by 659% on Oasis’ opening night at the Etihad Stadium on 4 June 2027, while on the first weekend (5 and 6 June) of tour dates, they’ve soared by up to 462% and are, on average, 98% higher than a weekday price.
Overall, the analysis uncovered that 12 June has the most expensive average two-star hotel cost at £253, while the highest average five-star hotel is £409 for the night on 19 June.
“Our analysis uncovered an enormous markup for local accommodation on nights that Oasis is rumoured to perform in Manchester,” explained Gilad Zilberman, who is the CEO at ticket platform SeatPick.
“Being aware of these accommodation costs and additional expenses can help fans plan and avoid being caught off guard by inflated prices on concert nights.
“To find the best deals on hotels, concertgoers should scan budget chains in the city or look slightly outside of the centre in hotspots served by local bus routes or regional trains, such as Salford and Trafford.
“Booking early might also be beneficial for fans dedicated to seeing the band perform.
“You can opt for free cancellation options, in case rumoured dates change, or you’re no longer able to attend.”

Drinks prices revealed as Manchester Airport’s first-ever Wetherspoons pub opens inside T2
Emily Sergeant
It’s official… Manchester Airport’s first-ever JD Wetherspoon pub has officially opened its doors inside Terminal 2.
The 300-seater pub – which welcomed its first customers earlier this week – is named The Belle Vue after Manchester’s historic showground.
Throughout the pub, you’ll spot design features that nod to the city’s sporting heritage – including vintage event posters and memorabilia, a ‘locker wall’ hosting trophies and other sporting exhibits, and a cricket-themed design in the carpets and bar panels.
Creating around 150 jobs in the process, The Belle Vue is the final planned new eatery to open in the airport’s redeveloped Terminal 2, marking one of the final steps in the super-terminal’s decade-long, £1.5bn transformation.

According to the MEN, pints are priced from £6.20 for Carling and Coors lager, £6.45 for Budweiser, £6.60 for Guinness, and £6.70 for Poretti and 1664 Biere.
Prosecco is £9.20 for 175ml glass and £37.10 for the full bottle, while spirts and mixers are £6.80 for singles and £10.20 for doubles.
There’s also the classic Wetherspoons tea and coffee machines, where you can refill as many times as you like for just £3.60.
“It’s a proud moment to see the final new retail unit opening in our new-look Terminal 2,” commented Richard Jackson, who is the Retail Director at Manchester Airport.
“To be rounding off this 10-year programme by adding such an iconic name as Wetherspoon to the terminal is particularly special and we know that it will prove extremely popular with passengers. We think they’ll love the nods to Manchester’s heritage in the décor and design – and of course the name.”
