A hotel in Manchester has launched a new package geared towards nights out – and curing the hangover the next day.
Native, the huge aparthotel inside the Ducie Street Warehouse building, has created ‘Nocturnal Natives’.
The packages include a rave recovery pack, money to spend in the bar downstairs, a Bloody Mary at breakfast and a late-checkout.
Even if your usual hangover cure is a Lucozade and 11 hours straight on Netflix, this sounds like a pretty nifty alternative…
The scheme has been dreamt up to support and celebrate Manchester’s buzzing nightlife and club scene, right in time for the silly season.

The vision is that guests will use the Nocturnal Native packages to wind down from Warehouse Project, recover from Christmas parties and make the most of a gigs at venues like Band on the Wall and The White Hotel.
It’s in collaboration with Happy Tuesdays, a brand that sells post-rave wellness packs of all-in-one supplements with 26 nutrients to support mind and body.

Happy Tuesdays also shares rave tips and hacks, such as benefits of dancing, how to level-up your partying, and the quality of sleeps – including a 90-minute nap before you start dancing.
Those who book a Nocturnal Native package receive a £25 gift card on arrival to spend at the ground floor bar for pre-drink cocktails and snacks.
There’s usually a pre-party atmosphere filling Ducie Street Warehouse, with resident DJs and special guests like Scott Mills.
Guests can then head out on the town before coming back to Native’s self-contained apartments, with super king-sized beds, stylish interiors and fully-equipped kitchens,
The package includes late check-out (so no need to power through your Sunday on three hours’ sleep) and then breakfast back downstairs in the bar and restaurant space.
With a Bloody Mary included in the package, there’s also everything from healthy bowls to classic full Englishes to choose from.

The UK’s first official Oasis merch fan store is opening in Manchester
Daisy Jackson
An official Oasis Live ’25 fan store, selling official tour merch and limited-edition products, is opening in Manchester this week.
The flagship store will open in an as-yet mystery location ahead of a nationwide roll-out of official Oasis fan stores.
Set to open on Friday 20 June, the Oasis Live ’25 fan store in Manchester will be stocked with the official merch for the hotly-anticipated reunion tour, which will be launching in store and online later this week.
As well as the official tour merchandise, the stores will sell exclusive brand collaborations, limited-edition products, and items not available to buy anywhere else.
The news has been announced ahead of the Oasis Live ’25 shows, which will see the Gallagher brothers back together for the first time since 2009.
They’ll be performing five nights at Heaton Park, on 11, 12, 16, 19 and 20 July.
The Manchester Oasis Live ’25 fan store will be the first to open in the UK and the flagship, based in the brothers’ home city.
Further stores are set to open in Cardiff, London, Edinburgh, Dublin and Birmingham.
It’s hoped these are going to enrich the overall fan experience of the massive tour, that now spans stadium shows across the UK, Ireland, North America, Asia, Australia and South America.
More details on the Manchester fan store location and tour merchandise collection will be released later this week, with other store addresses to be revealed.
The Manchester Oasis fan store will be open between 20 June and 27 July.
TikTok star turned pop star Addison Rae announces gig in Manchester
Thomas Melia
Viral TikTok star and now recording artist, Addison Rae, has announced her first-everheadline European tour, where she’ll be paying Manchester a visit, and tickets go on sale this week.
After launching into the music scene back in 2021 with pure pop single, ‘Obsessed’, Addison made her pop star intentions very clear.
Since then, Addison has gone on to work with high-profile artists such as Charli XCX, who appears as a feature on track ‘2 Die 4’ taken from her first EP, ‘AR’.
Addison also contributed to the inescapable phenomenon of last year that was ‘Brat Summer’, appearing on the aforementioned A-list artist’s Brat remix album, on a reworking of the hit ‘Von Dutch’.
With more than 88.5 million followers on TikTok alone and north of 35 million on Instagram, it goes without saying that her legions of ‘Sunraes’ (yes, a real term used by some in the community) will be lining up to get tickets to her UK tour dates.
Now the singer is ready to take the world by storm, confirming a US and European tour following the release of her debut album, simply titled Addison.
This LP, which features standouts like smash single ‘Diet Pepsi’, ‘Aquamarine’ and ‘Fame Is A Gun’, has been met with rave reviews from fans and critics alike.
The fledgling 24-year-old American-born pop star is a big fan of the UK, so much so that one of the singles from this very debut album, ‘Headphones On’, includes a music video dedicated to frozen food retailer Iceland.
See for yourself…
Addison Rae is set to bring ‘The Addison Tour’ – her first on the continent and here in Britain and Ireland – to Manchester Academy on 30 August, with general admission going on sale this Friday, 20 June.
So, if you’re a fan, get ready to grab yours HERE.
