Electric Shuffle, the newest and only dedicated shuffleboard bar in Manchester, is giving away hundreds of prizes to people in the city centre this week – including bottomless brunch bundles, free games and much more.
Wait until you hear the big prize that’s up for grabs…
Officially launching to the public in Manchester city centre this Friday, this is Electric Shuffle’s first location in 0161 and just the second in the North, but it’s already made a name for itself down in London and over in the US.
Its arrival in town was first announced back in March but the brand has now revealed that they’re celebrating the grand opening with these exciting giveaways, and you still have time to get your hands on them.

To win, all you fine people need to do is simply keep your eyes out for them, as members of the newest venue will be posted along Deansgate, Market Street and Piccadilly Gardens.
Prizes on offer include bottomless brunch tickets, shuffleboard sampler vouchers, bottles of Prosecco and even a whopping £500 bar tab for one very lucky winner.

We’re so ready to spend all of Thursday pacing up and down the streets of Manchester.
While there are other places to play the popular bar activity in the area, Electric Shuffle is the only purpose-built shuffleboard place in Manchester and they’ve gained a glowing reputation at their various other locations. Trust us, we heard it straight from our friends over at The Hoot.
Delivering the most high-tech take on the social game you’ll find on the market, plus some great offerings when it comes to food, drink and entertainment, it’s looking like it’s going to be one of the best games and activity bars in Manchester.

In fact, given the fact that it’s the sister brand of the ever-popular Flight Club darts bar franchise, we’re already pretty confident it will be.

The plans also feature a new public plaza designed to strengthen connections between the resort and the Bridgewater Canal.
Professor David Russell, CEO of Therme UK, said: “We have taken the opportunity to refine the design, improve how traffic and parking are managed and create a more welcoming environment for everyone arriving at the resort.
“We are creating an even better experience for visitors while supporting more efficient and sustainable operations.”

Things To Do
You can meet Father Christmas at Manchester’s Science and Industry Museum this festive season

Father Christmas will be paying a very special visit to one of Manchester’s best tourist attractions this festive season.
And you can now book tickets to take the little ones to meet him.
Now that Halloween has passed and November is here, things are really starting to get all festive across Manchester – especially with the Manchester Christmas Markets and Skate Manchester opening from this Friday – so it really won’t be long before Santa sets off on his present delivery rounds. But before then, he’ll be making a special stop in our city first.
That’s because the Science and Industry Museum is inviting you to meet Father Christmas in the atmospheric surroundings of Power Hall: The Andrew Law Gallery.
Starting later this month from Saturday 21 November and running on selected dates throughout December, this is your chance to meet the main man himself and his friendly elves in one of the most unique settings in the city – set against a backdrop of iconic locomotives and historic engines.
Formerly a shipping shed for the world’s first inter-city steam-powered passenger railway, Power Hall will once again become a hub for deliveries – only this time, for Father Christmas’ presents.
Visitors will get to explore Power Hall and discover the story of the packages and goods that used to arrive there, before making their way up the platform to meet the big red man and receive a special science-themed gift.
Not only that, but on two special dates – Saturday 21 November and Wednesday 23 December – visitors will be invited to enjoy even more Christmas cheer, as the museum welcomes classic Victorian-costumed carol singers to add to the magical atmosphere.

A number of accessible events will also be running, including BSL supported sessions on the afternoon of Saturday 12 December, and relaxed performances to accommodate a quieter experience and slightly longer time with Father Christmas on both Sunday 29 November and Friday 18 December.
If you want to make a day of it, you’ll also be able to explore the rest of the museum’s free interactive galleries and displays as part of your visit, tuck into some festive food in the museum cafe, and pick up discounted souvenirs in the gift shop before you leave.
Tickets for the Father Christmas at the Museum experience are now on sale, setting you back £15 per child (including a gift) – with accompanying adults going free.
