Manchester’s very own chicken connoisseurs, Yard and Coop, have long offered their very popular Kids Eat Free deal, but now they’re making things even more enticing by giving parents the chance to win their little ones a trip to Legoland too.
Time to rope in the nieces and nephews and pretend to be dad again — joking, of course.
But yes, even if you are a big kid who’d still love an excuse to go to Legoland, you can treat your children with a free trip to the amusement park’s Manchester location over at the Discovery Centre in Trafford Palazzo this school holiday, so no long drives down to Windsor are needed either.
And the best of all is, it’s pretty simple win the giveaway: all you need to do is let them play and come up with the best creations their imaginations can muster.
As you can see, not only are Yard and Coop offering parents the chance to take their pride and joys to Legoland but they’ve also extended their Kids Eat Free deal to cover Sunday as well, meaning you’ve got another day of great value to make the most of and an extra chance at winning the tickets.

Now, what’s the catch? Well, there isn’t one real, only proof that your kid has come and had some fun whilst feeling their bellies with a quick post on socials.
Once they’ve built their masterpiece, simply tag the restaurant in the photo on Instagram and use the hashtag #CoopKidsEatFree.

Oh, and not to give you too much of a clue, but a little bird told us that “creations relating to Yard and Coop, chickens, foxes and food will certainly be favourable…
So, as well as scoring a free meal for the kids – which includes a main, drink and an ice cream dessert to boot – why not try and take along for one of the best activity-filled days families can find anywhere in Greater Manchester?
There is, of course, plenty for them to do at the Northern Quarter spot beyond just assembling bricks, as Yard and Coop always guarantees a family-friendly atmosphere with free pots of crayons and designs for them to colour in, arcade machines to play on too, as well as

The kids’ menu deal is available from 12pm-6pm Sunday to Friday, the closing date for entries is 1 September, and the prize categories are split from 11 and under to12 and above.
Drinks prices revealed as Manchester Airport’s first-ever Wetherspoons pub opens inside T2
Emily Sergeant
It’s official… Manchester Airport’s first-ever JD Wetherspoon pub has officially opened its doors inside Terminal 2.
The 300-seater pub – which welcomed its first customers earlier this week – is named The Belle Vue after Manchester’s historic showground.
Throughout the pub, you’ll spot design features that nod to the city’s sporting heritage – including vintage event posters and memorabilia, a ‘locker wall’ hosting trophies and other sporting exhibits, and a cricket-themed design in the carpets and bar panels.
Creating around 150 jobs in the process, The Belle Vue is the final planned new eatery to open in the airport’s redeveloped Terminal 2, marking one of the final steps in the super-terminal’s decade-long, £1.5bn transformation.

According to the MEN, pints are priced from £6.20 for Carling and Coors lager, £6.45 for Budweiser, £6.60 for Guinness, and £6.70 for Poretti and 1664 Biere.
Prosecco is £9.20 for 175ml glass and £37.10 for the full bottle, while spirts and mixers are £6.80 for singles and £10.20 for doubles.
There’s also the classic Wetherspoons tea and coffee machines, where you can refill as many times as you like for just £3.60.
“It’s a proud moment to see the final new retail unit opening in our new-look Terminal 2,” commented Richard Jackson, who is the Retail Director at Manchester Airport.
“To be rounding off this 10-year programme by adding such an iconic name as Wetherspoon to the terminal is particularly special and we know that it will prove extremely popular with passengers. We think they’ll love the nods to Manchester’s heritage in the décor and design – and of course the name.”
The Belle Vue will be open from the first flight to the final flight each day, and food will be served from opening until 10pm.

One of Manchester’s leading curry houses is bringing back its bottomless curry offering very soon.
For just £20, diners can tuck into unlimited curry, rice and naan at Zouk Tea Bar & Grill, stuffing yourself silly on authentic dishes from from all over the Indian subcontinent.
There’s nothing quite like getting the gang together for a proper curry, and Zouk is making it even easier to do exactly that this October.
They’ll be bringing back the £20 Bottomless Curry deal for National Curry Week 2026, running for five nights only, from Monday 5 October to Friday 9 October, with tables available between 5pm and 10pm each evening.
Guests can choose one curry from a daily selection of four, with meat, vegetarian and vegan options available throughout the week.

Rice and naan are unlimited too, so there’s no shortage of carbs to mop up the curry with.
The dishes on the menu include some of Zouk’s favourites, such as Chicken Karahi, Lamb Rogan Josh, Chicken Tikka Masala, Dall Makhani, Chicken Handi and Gobi Manchurian.
The exact four-dish selection varies by day, giving curry fans a reason to head back more than once during the five-day promotion.
