Inside the brand-new Sankeys as legendary Manchester club reopens
Daisy Jackson
The doors are back open to one of Manchester’s most legendary nightlife hotspots – albeit, things look a little different.
Sankeys has opened in a brand-new location, almost a decade after the iconic club shut down in its former home in Ancoats.
Now, the venue is running as a 500-capacity nightclub (with its opening season completely sold out) on Sidney Street, just off Oxford Road.
Sankeys has shared photos from inside the club’s opening weekend, showing off the LED matrix installation, and the no-VIP, no-phones dance floor.
The plan is to bring a raw, immersive clubbing experience back to the city centre.

Sankeys has also announced its first wave of artists, which will include Solardo, Heidi, Maya Jane Coles, Stacey Pullen, Magda, and loads more between February and June – with more still to be announced.
Sticking to its roots, Sankeys will champion fresh new electronic music and emerging talent, as well as legendary names.
Sankeys is now hosting weekly events every Saturday from 7 February.

Inside the most expensive apartment for rent in Manchester that looks like a five-star hotel
Daisy Jackson
A new apartment has gone on the rental market in Manchester that’s immediately become the most expensive in the city.
The luxurious penthouse has three bedrooms, its own cinema room, and access to an 18m swimming pool, jacuzzi and steam room.
Its fixtures and fittings are so lavish, it looks like a five-star hotel – and for good reason, because this apartment actually belongs to the residential arm of a premium aparthotel brand.
Coming in at a mere £15,000 per month (the ‘mere’ was sarcastic), this swish home is part of CitySuites II in Embankment West.
It’s actually so expensive, it comes in a whopping £2,500 a month more expensive than the next most-expensive apartment, which is one of the Deansgate Square penthouses.
The new Embankment West neighbourhood is in Salford, just across the river from Deansgate and Spinningfields.
And while CitySuites is maybe best-known for its aparthotel, short-stay offering, they also have a number of long-term residences – like this particular fancy SuperSuites penthouse.




It includes an open-plan living space with a fully equipped designer kitchen, a dining area, and a plush lounge and cinema room, with views of Manchester Cathedral from one of two balconies.
There are three bedrooms, each with hotel-quality king-size beds, a spa-inspired bathroom with rainfall shower, smart technology, high-speed Wi-Fi, flat-screen TV, and plenty more.
And it gets the future tenant access to CitySuites II’s premium facilities, like an 18m swimming pool, jacuzzi and steam room, a 24-hour state-of-the-art gym, and a 24 hour concierge.
The apartment also comes with private car parking, and private lift access.
Tempted (or just nosey?). Have a look at it HERE.
