And so to celebrate this milestone age, the Spinningfields stalwart is throwing 10 parties with the aim of raising £10,000 each for 10 worthy local charities.
Starting out life all the way back in 2011, The Oast House originally opened its doors as a pop-up pub, but after Manchester locals and those further afield took it to their hearts, the owners decided to sign a long-term lease and cement its as a popular place in Manchester social scene.
The much-loved restaurant and eatery – which is known for its large suntrap beer garden – wants to look back at its favourite moments over the past decade as it counts to its 10th birthday on 29 October.
But why have just one “birthday bash” when you can have 10?
So, from this Friday 27 August, The Oast House is getting the party started with a bonus edition of Manchester’s favourite free Bank Holiday music festival SpinFest, featuring a takeover by The Family Gorgeous, before celebrating The Oast House’s two Guinness World Records for ‘World’s Largest Cider Tasting’ and ‘World’s Largest Beer Tasting’ on Friday 3 September.
The Oast House’s newly-launched street food menu will be served up throughout the celebration, with something for everyone to tuck into.
A further eight celebratory events are to be announced in the coming weeks.
And it wouldn’t be a birthday party without present, which is why The Oast House is hoping to donate £10,000 to 10 local charities to help fill the gap in much-needed local funds.
The funds will be raised through the sale of £5 guaranteed entry and £10 tables tickets – where all the ticket cost will be donated to charity.

Nostalgic ready-to-drink Breezer makes UK return after a decade
Daisy Jackson
An iconic ready-to-drink favourite has launched back into the UK – oh yes, Breezer is back.
First launched in the 1990s, Breezers – then pitched as an ‘alcopop’ – were a staple on dancefloors and at barbecues right across the UK.
And now Bacardi has decided to bring these delicious, fruity, easy-drinking bottles back to British shores.
There are three new flavours to try as Breezers return to your fridges – Zesty Orange, Zingy Lime, and Crisp Watermelon.
And Breezer launched back into Manchester last night with a suitably memorable party, turning a spot in the Northern Quarter into a corner shop.
The ‘local Cornerbop’ was stacked with your usual essentials, plus shelf after shelf of these colourful glass ready-to-drink bottles.
Inside the Breezer ‘Cornerbop’ corner shop in ManchesterBreezer is back, in three new flavours
The Breezer relaunch party saw Tarsza and Rennie Peters spinning nostalgic anthems with a modern twist at a pop-up party in a corner shop.
Steve Young, business unit director for Bacardi in the UK & Ireland, said: “We know there is a lot of love for Breezer in the UK, and we are confident a new generation of consumers will fall in love with the new Breezer.
“RTDs are booming, however, the Flavoured Alcoholic Beverages category could do with a bit more excitement. By bringing back Breezer we’re definitely putting the fruity taste into FAB.”
The iconic ready-to-drink classic is back – and better than ever.
Drinks prices for Manchester Oasis gigs announced – and you’ll be pleasantly surprised
Daisy Jackson
The prices of drinks at Heaton Park for the five huge Manchester Oasis shows have been released in advance.
With the Gallagher brothers reuniting on stage in their hometown for the first time this weekend (and then again next week), it’s a huge moment for our city.
Those lucky enough to snag tickets have already forked out a small fortune to witness this moment in history (still scarred from the dynamic pricing debacle).
And most of us were probably bracing to spend another small fortune on beers at the Oasis Manchester gigs.
But you might be pleasantly surprised at the drinks prices up at Heaton Park for Oasis Live ’25.
It’s now been confirmed that pints of lager and cider will be just £6.50.
Before you turn your nose up, remember that pints at our two arenas – the AO Arena and Co-op Live are now sitting around the £9 mark.
Prices for other drinks, like wine and spirits, we’ll have to wait until Friday to see.
Heaton Park will also be the home of the ‘largest beer garden’ and the longest bars in the city for the Oasis reunion.
With a major heatwave predicted for the first shows, fans are being encouraged to stay hydrated (on WATER, not beer, please).
Ticket-holders will be allowed to bring a sealed bottle of water up to 500ml in with you, but it must be collapsible plastic.
Solid plastic and metal containers will be rejected on safety grounds.
There’s a free water point on site where you can fill up your bottles again.
Oasis will perform at Heaton Park in Manchester on 11, 12, 16, 19 and 20 July.
