There’s a Japanese restaurant in Manchester serving all you can eat sushi, sashimi and teppenyaki and we’re a little bit obsessed.
Sushi Mami on Portland Street is a relatively new addition to the city, having opened its doors in Manchester at the end of last year.
The Japanese restaurant serves poke bowls, bento boxes, and a full A La Carte menu, but one thing that really sets it apart from its competitors is the new all-you-can-eat menu that stretches through lunch into dinner.

With over 40 different types of sushi to choose from, plus sashimi, gyoza, rice rolls, tempura, soups, salads, rice, noodle and teppenyaki dishes, this is a deal not to be sniffed at.
Prices start from £26.99 per person for an early weekday lunch, and peak at £34.99 if you’re visiting for dinner on the weekend (Fridays and Saturdays). For that, you’ll get at least three and a half hours of non-stop sushi, sashimi and more.

All ordered via an app then brought directly to your table by Sushi Mami’s wait staff, further dishes on offer include meat and fish from the robata grill (think king prawns, salmon, lamb chops and chicken) and ‘Japanese Wok’ dishes like sweet and sour chicken, shredded beef and katsu.

Elsewhere, you’ll find steaming bowls of ramen, udon and yakisoba noodles topped with your choice of meat, veg or fish. It’s a veritable feast, and all for one fixed price.

Be warned, though, whilst there is an abundance of food on offer the team are hugely anti-waste – to the extent they’ve introduced a penalty charge for anything you leave behind.
That means that for every item ordered but left uneaten, you’ll be charged an additional £1 – so you better make sure you’ve not got eyes bigger than your belly.

Manchester’s massive outdoor ice rink has been confirmed for a return to Cathedral Gardens once again this festive season.
Skate Manchester has always been a festive staple of our city centre, and 2026 is set to be absolutely no different.
Families, friends, and festive fun seekers will be able to enjoy the sights and sounds of Christmas whatever the weather has in store, as although the rink will be outdoors in the heart of Cathedral Gardens, the ice is fully covered.
Off the back of a hugely successful 2025 season, there will be a specially curated programme of events this year too, including themed nights, competitions, and inclusive skate sessions designed for an accessible and enjoyable experience for as many people as possible.
And if you’re not too confident on the ice, the rink will also offer a variety of skate sessions that are tailored to meet the needs of all visitors too.
This includes dedicated quiet and toddler sessions to create a more relaxed skating environment.
Discounted tickets and weekly events will also be on offer too, meaning students can skate for just £10 on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, families can enjoy dedicated Parents & Mini Skater sessions in the same period, and group discounts will also be available for larger bookings.
There will also be £5 Community and school sessions, free skating for children on selected Tuesdays, accessible SEND sessions, and 20% off for Blue Light workers.

“Skate Manchester has established itself as the highest Google-rated rink in the UK, located in the heart of Manchester next to the world-renowned Christmas Markets – it’s the perfect way to enjoy a Mancunian Christmas,” commented Rob Derry, who is the Director at Tamarisk Events – the coordinator of Skate Manchester.
Skate Manchester will open to the public from Friday 6 November 2026 until Sunday 3 January 2027, excluding Christmas Day.
From 6 November to 6 December, the rink will be open daily from 11am to 9pm, and then from 7 January onwards, opening hours will extend from 10am to 9pm – with all skating sessions lasting 45 minutes.

One of the UK’s largest art fairs is back in Manchester this autumn, bringing more than 180 exhibitors together all under one roof.
Not only is it one of the UK’s largest and one of the most significant art fairs, but it’s by far one of the most celebrated cultural events in Greater Manchester‘s social calendar too.
Designed for the collector, the curator, and those who are just simply curious, the event draws in tens of thousands of visitors, and will feature lots of new and returning galleries and artists this year – all of whom will be showing new works.
2026’s edition will be its biggest yet too, as the event is returning to Manchester Central for four days this year instead of the usual three.
Returning from Thursday 19 to Sunday 22 November, the fair will have more than 600 artists there for an exceptional showcase of modern and contemporary art, with thousands of works available to discover and buy from both world-renowned names and some of the most exciting emerging creative talent.
In a significant move, the fair’s highly anticipated Preview Night will move to Thursday evening, opening an expanded programme of art, talks, workshops, and new experiences across the four days that follow.
Leading the lineup of new features are Manchester Art Fair’s Art Masterclasses, which have been created for developing artists looking to advance their creative practice.
These new experiences will sit alongside a rich programme of artist talks, panel discussions, Q&As, live demonstrations, and other hands-on creative workshops.
