Festive nightclub-inspired Christmas party to take over iconic Manchester venue

This ticketed party for groups, you will not want to miss. Words by Harry Quick.

The Manc The Manc - 21st November 2023

The stage is set for THE Christmas party of the year – think you, your mates and 500 Mancunians in one iconic setting, indulging in a show-stopping festive spectacle. If there’s one place that knows how to throw a party, it’s Victoria Warehouse.

The ‘Bauble-icious Bash’ is coming to town on Saturday 16 December, promising a fantastic lineup of live entertainment that Yule be sorry to miss. 

If last year’s office party left a lot to be desired, the answer to levelling up is right in front of you. Tell your boss, grab your colleagues, leave Mary from HR’s sparsely filled mince pies in the past and let the event experts do the work.

Victoria Warehouse’s Bauble-icious Bash will have street dancing elves to wow your workmates, disco head dancers to get you in that 70s swing and even sexy Santa dropping in to get your heart racing – time to make use of that fitness watch you got last year…

We’re talking sexy and sparkling, with bells on. The DJs will keep you on your feet right the way through the night whilst on-site glitter artists keep you glam for the Christmas party photo dump.

But let’s be real… Christmas is all about the food and drink. The Bauble-icious Bash has all bases covered. If you’re feeling peckish before you hit the dancefloor, Victoria Warehouse will be filled with a fantastic selection of street food stalls to line the stomach with seasonal scran – all included in the ticket.

Wait, there’s myrrh (sorry). Whilst you are strutting through the door to the beat of Whitney and Mariah, wet your whistle with extravagant cocktails on arrival. Cheers to good music and good food with good people and let the good times roll.

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant

The magnificent grounds of Tatton Park will be transformed into a ‘glittering winter adventure’ this festive season.

With spooky season now a thing of the past, and Christmas merely a few weeks away, families will soon be whisked away into a world of folklore, enchantment, and enthralling performances as they enter the gardens of the stunning Tatton Park in Cheshire for an immersive, festival-like experience known as Yuletide.

Organisers say the captivating event promises to be a “truly magical experience” where folklore stories come to life through storytelling and live music.

All set to transport visitors right into the heart of Yuletide tales, the exciting new event – which opens next weekend, and runs through until late December – is produced by Wild Rumpus, who you may know for other magical local events such as ‘The Lanterns’ at Chester Zoo (2018-2022) and Just So Festival.

The highlight of this new event has to be The Glittering Trail, where beautifully-illuminated puppets and performers bring legendary stories of Yuletide to life as visitors wander through the park’s popular Japanese Gardens and make the most of the stunning winter landscape.

Families can gather around an open fire to toast marshmallows, all while they watch live performances that add even more magic to the evening.

Yuletide will be running at Tatton Park on selected dates from Saturday 16 November through to Monday 23 December, and tickets are on sale now – with adult tickets costing £20, children paying just £12 each, and free personal assistant passes are also available.

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson Students can join a Wagamama ramen-building workshop for just £5 this week

Students will be able to take part in a build-your-own ramen workshop this week, led by everyone’s favourite pan-Asian restaurant group, Wagamama. 

The workshops will cost just £5 (all of which will go to a brilliant cause), and will include the time spent creating your perfect meal, the actual food, plus drinks and sides.

Wagamama has teamed up with mental health charity SHOUT to host this cosy ramen-making workshop. 

Students will be invited to join Wagamama chefs in the kitchen, selecting their own broth, protein and veggies, with perfectly-cooked noodles, before sitting down at the restaurant’s benches to slurp up their creations with fellow students. 

There’ll also be toppings and garnishes including kimchi, tea-stained eggs, chilli oil, spring onions and more.

With merch to take home too, and steaming bowls of the best-ever autumn dish, this is a one-off event you won’t want to miss.

Each £5 ticket includes your food and two drinks, plus a variety of the new Wagamama winter sides and sharers. 

All money raised will be donated to SHOUT to support the vital services they provide. 

A representative from SHOUT will also be in attendance to talk about student wellbeing and the services available from the charity. 

Wagamama says: “At Wagamama, we believe having a conversation is one of the most powerful ways you can support someone struggling with their mental health. Whether it’s a quick check-in via text or an open conversation over a bowl of steaming ramen. no chat is too big or too small to make an impact.

“This ethos is one we share with SHOUT, a free, confidential, 24/7 text messaging service for anyone in the UK who needs someone to talk to. After huge demand during Covid, SHOUT’s service has become increasingly essential + today SHOUT is more highly in demand than ever before.”

The Japanese and pan-Asian restaurant is donating £40,000 to SHOUT this year, plus providing perks and rewards for their team of volunteers, and hosting events in their spaces. 

The Wagamama ramen-building workshop will take place at the St Peter’s Square restaurant on Thursday 7 November between 2pm and 4pm. You can get your tickets HERE.
