Fenix, the stunning Greek-Mediterranean restaurant that opened last year in Manchester, is launching a series of Moonlight Parties with special events for the Easter weekend.
The luxurious two-storey venue has created the events to continue their vision to bring a taste of Mykonos to the city centre.
With these Moonlight Parties, they’re capturing the world-famous nightlife of the Greek island, with international DJs playing into the early hours.
The bank holiday weekend parties will be taking place in the beautiful ground floor nest bar, where golden grasses ripple from the ceiling and clever illusions make it seem as though a wall of fire is flickering above the bar.
Fenix has programmed a unique line-up of events for the upcoming four-day Easter weekend.

The high-end restaurant and bar will kick things off on Thursday with international percussionist Kami, joining their resident DJ Christian, who’ll also be behind the decks on Friday.
Then on Saturday, there’ll be a performance by the incredible Jano, before Sunday concludes with Mykonos’ very own international DJ Anthony from Zuma Mykonos.

This will be the first of a series of late-night parties for Fenix, which is already establishing itself as one of Manchester’s best destinations.
The restaurant opened last November, from the Permanently Unique group that’s also behind the city’s beloved Tattu.
As well as its beautiful interiors and lighting that mimics both sunny days and moonlit nights, there’s a menu of meat and fish cooked on an open fire, a wealth of pasta and rice dishes, and meze-style small plates.

And then there’s the bar, where incredible cocktails fall under four categories – Earth, Air, Water, and Fire – each served in custom glassware.
Fenix has already been receiving rave reviews, including from national critics like the Observer and Guardian tastemaker Jay Rayner.
For the Moonlight Parties, there’ll be a range of packages available, including the exclusive Half Moon package (a table for four with a selection of mixers and meze board, a bottle of Laurent-Perrier Rose, and a bottle of patron silver, for £400.)
Each of Fenix’s Moonlight Parties will start at 10.30pm and run until the early hours.
The series starts on Thursday 28 March with events running until Sunday 31 March.

Details of the May Bank Holiday Moonlight Parties line-up will be released soon.
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.
