Printworks has launched a competition giving two lucky couples the chance to win the “ultimate” Valentine’s date night.
Fancy a game of ‘Love Lotto’? Well, it’s certainly the season for it.
With the international day of love right around the corner now, Manchester’s Printworks has decided to celebrate by launching an exciting Valentine’s-themed competition over on its app, where couples are encouraged to “give love a chance” in a bid to win the ultimate date night experience.
In case you hadn’t heard, Printworks launched a new app back in the summer, and it means customers can follow their favourite venues within the landmark entertainment complex to keep up-to-date with all the latest news and events, as well as take advantage of loads of offers, enter competitions, and so much more.
Available now as a free download on both the App Store and Google Store, the app features its own selection of exclusive discounts.

Not only that, but it also gives members the opportunity to collect loyalty points when they visit the city centre venue, as well as get monthly rewards and freebies, alongside exclusive VIP access to events and the chance to win prizes.
Oh, and this month, you’ll also get to play the ‘Love Lotto’ too.

With the competition now live, couples can claim their ‘Love Lotto’ tickets via the rewards scheme on the app, and then they’ll immediately be entered into a draw to win one of two Valentine’s date night bundles – which include a £50 gift card to spend on a romantic meal at a Printworks restaurant of choice, a £40 gift card for a fun activity at one of the leisure venues, and two cinema tickets for Vue.
The romantic prizes don’t end their either, as the two winning couples will also receive gift bags filled with pamper items, delicious Valentine’s chocolates, and all sorts of other luxurious treats.
To enter the competition, you’ll just need to download the Printworks App and create a profile, then head over to the rewards section and redeem a ‘Love Lotto’ ticket reward.

Each redeemed reward equates to one ticket for the ‘Love Lotto’, so the more tickets you redeem, the more likely you are to win.
Tickets are just 10 points to claim, and can be redeemed up to Sunday 11 February.
The winners will be notified via email on Monday 12 February – with all the instructions for prize collection from Manchester’s Printworks provided.

There’s a new summer terrace in town with a weekend spritz happy hour
Daisy Jackson
There’s a new summer terrace in Greater Manchester that’s the ideal spot to soak in some rays – and enjoy a few discounted spritzes while you’re there.
Over on Chapel Street – just across the river from Manchester Cathedral – you’ll find Embankment Kitchen, which has opened up its terrace for the season.
This stylish spot is part of the CitySuites aparthotel, and has a menu rooted in the warm spirit of Northern hospitality.
It’s worth a visit all year round for their seasonally-focused, local-as-possible menus, but the summer terrace at Embankment Kitchen is a real added bonus in spring and summer.
And following that spell of absolutely glorious weather, they’re opening up two hours earlier every day too for maximum sun-soaking from 2pm.
At Embankment Kitchen you can tuck into a drinks and nibbles menu from 2pm until 5pm, and Happy Hour drinks deals from 4pm until 7pm.
That means two-for-one cocktails, plus discounted wines, prosecco and beers – an ideal post-work haunt.

It’s usually almost impossible to find a happy hour in Manchester at weekends, but these guys are doing two-for-£12 spritzes every Saturday and Sunday between 12pm and 4pm, with flavours including Aperol, Hugo, and limoncello.
Drinks on the menu include signature cocktails that are inspired by the city’s industrial roots, like The Emmeline, Manchester Exchange (a take on an old fashioned), and the Atomic Zombie, as well as classic cocktails such as an espresso martini, limoncello negroni, amaretto sour, and strawberry daiquiri.
As for nibbles, tuck into treats like garlic bread, edamame beans with smoked salt, garlic and parmesan fries, salt and pepper tater tots, and halloumi fries.
Surrounded by lush plants and gigantic parasols, it’s hard to believe you’re just across the river in Salford when you’re soaking up the sun at Embankment Kitchen. To find out more, head HERE.
