The Biscoff McFlurry and Chicken Big Mac are both returning to the McDonald’s menu across the UK in a couple of weeks time.
Easter has been and gone now, and so it’s sadly time to wave goodbye to the legendary Creme Egg McFlurry for another year – but thankfully, when we have to part ways with one ice cream dessert, McDonald’s usually comes through with another to replace it and fill the McFlurry-shaped hole in fast food fans’ hearts.
And what better way to fill that hole than with the long-awaited return of the now equally-legendary Biscoff McFlurry?
After being released to serious fanfare for the first time in the UK last June, and undeniably going down a treat, with countless Maccies customers having been calling for its return ever since, the fast food chain has now announced that the Biscoff McFlurry will be making a long-awaited comeback later this month.
It’s return is alongside a handful of other returning favourites and even some exciting newbies too.

Returning for a limited time, and setting you back just £1.99 for the full size or £1.59 for the mini, the Biscoff McFlurry features a Lotus Biscoff biscuit crumb swirled onto the soft serve ice cream to give it that extra crunchy taste.
Another popular product making an eagerly-awaited return is the beloved Chicken Big Mac, while some other returning gems include the Galaxy Caramel Pie, and the Galaxy McFlurry to accompany it.

When it comes to new menu additions, customers can tuck into the new Quarter Pounder Deluxe for £4.89, which is a take on the classic Quarter Pounder and features a 100% beef patty served with mustard, ketchup, onion, lettuce, mayonnaise, juicy tomato, pickles, and two cheese slices inside a toasted sesame seed-topped bun.

A Maccies meal isn’t complete without a cheesy side, and new to the lineup this time are the Cheese and Herb Melts – which are five cheese and herb melts made with a blend of mozzarella and Emmental cheese, tossed in a herb coating and served with a rich tomato dip.
But, by far the most exciting newbie has to be the Biscoff Frappe.

Joining the limited-edition lineup to complement the Biscoff McFlurry in the best way possible, the Biscoff Frappe has a vanilla-flavour base, and is blended with ice and Biscoff biscuit crumb, before being topped with caramel cream and a Biscoff biscuit crumb dusting.
The McDonald’s limited-edition Spring menu is launching at restaurants nationwide, including across Greater Manchester, from Wednesday 17 April onwards.

Sportsbet.io Tour Championship 2026: Manchester welcomes some of snooker’s best
Danny Jones
This Monday marks the start of the World Snooker Tour’s 2026 Sportsbet.io Tour Championship, which is back in Manchester once again– and there are some big names on show.
Returning to our city for a third consecutive time, this year’s Tour Championships began at 1pm, with the likes of world number one Judd Trump playing some of the opening frames against Northern Ireland’s Mark Allen, along with Barry Hawkins taking on 2026 World Open winner, Thepchaiya Un-Nooh.
These are just the first two opening fixtures in what is set to be an eventful week-long tournament that will span a total of 19 matches, concluding in the final on Sunday, 5 April.
Hosted once again over at Manchester Central, this elite field of in-form players is basically only missing Ronnie O’Sullivan, who the aforementioned Thai tour start beat in last week’s final.
Only the top 12 players from this season’s highly competitive rankings earned a place in the draw, so all pretty much all the greats and the next generation are shooting for the title.
Defending champions John Higgins – a four-time world champion – will be breaking off against Mark Williams on Tuesday, 31 March.
Meanwhile, other names on the schedule of play include World Champion Zhao Xintong, Mark Selby (who Higgins beat in Manchester last year), Shaun Murphy, Neil Robertson and Mark Allen.
Put simply, this isn’t just another big sporting event landing in our city centre, but a showcase of some of the very best talent in the discipline.
With tickets starting from just £25, these games are also some of the most affordable premium sports you can enjoy in central Manchester.
Better still, it’s also worth noting that the official Fanzone over in the foyer of the venue is open to all, even without a ticket.
There’s completely free coaching for players of all ages, interactive games, and even the chance to try a proper full-sized professional table – a perfect day out for the Easter school holidays.
The event itself is being aired on Channel 5, but if you’re interested in going along to see the action up close and personal, you can grab your seats right HERE.

The Oldham Man and The Sea: the documentary about the Latics owner’s record-breaking Atlantic voyage
Danny Jones
It doesn’t matter if you’re not an Athletic fan or native to the borough; we think everyone should go along to watch the much-anticipated documentary about football club owner Frank Rothwell and his record-breaking journey across the Atlantic Ocean: The Oldham Man And The Sea.
One of the simplest and most satisfying names for a film we’ve heard in a long time.
For anyone who doesn’t know about the Oldham Athletic FC chairman turned OBE’s incredible story, Frank Rothwell has set multiple records with his impressive sea-faring feats in recent times.
This new doc, which just premiered at this year’s Manchester Film Festival, charts his latest trip across one of the biggest bodies of water on the planet in March 2024.
As you can see from the recent trailer, it’s almost as arduous a tale as the original Hemingway story.
This movie – produced by Journeyman Pictures and Chief Productions – made its full debut at the Odeon in Great Northern Warehouse for MFF 2026, and is set to have a number of other screenings in and around Greater Manchester in the coming weeks and months.
One of those is happening rather soon, in fact, over at Saddleworth’s Millgate Arts Centre on Saturday, 28 March, which is ideal for those local to the region; grab your tickets now.
ln fact, there’s also one happening even closer to his hometown the following month, with Oldham’s very own Queen Elizabeth Hall also hosting a special screening of Rothwell’s incredible achievement.
You can reserve your seats for that one right HERE.
Having not only become the eldest (70) Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge finisher back in 2021, but now holding the Guinness World Record for the oldest person to ever complete the crossing while rowing solo at 73 years old, he’s become nothing short of a local hero – and that’s just his stewardship of the Latics…
The film does, obviously, touch on his time at the helm of the League Two side, who finally returned to the EFL last June, but the heart and soul of this inspiring watch is the sail itself.
More importantly, it also documents not just the gruelling nature of the 64-day, seven-hour and 53-minute trek, but also how Frank has now helped raise more than £1.4 million on behalf of Alzheimer’s Research UK.
What an absolute icon.
Hopefully, this should be just about all the reason you need to watch The Oldham Man And The Sea the very next opportunity you get to do so – and, of course, all proceeds from ticket sales will also be going to charity, because just the kind of bloke he is.
And here’s hoping we get a streaming version sometime soon.
