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.

Stage times confirmed for Oasis Live ’25 at Heaton Park in Manchester
Daisy Jackson
Oasis will finally return to Manchester for five massive hometown gigs this week – and stage times for their Heaton Park show have been confirmed.
The Gallagher brothers have already reunited for two gigs in Cardiff ahead of their Manchester shows.
Oasis will be performing in Heaton Park on 11, 12, 16, 19 and 20 of July, with support from long-time friends Richard Ashcroft and Cast.
With about 80,000 people expected to flock to the fields for the Oasis Live ’25 shows, there’s a lot of planning going on behind the scenes.
And the stage times for the Oasis Manchester gigs have just been confirmed by the band.
Oasis will be taking to the stage at 8.15pm, and with a 10.30pm curfew, that’s around two hours of glorious Gallagher hits.
Gates to Heaton Park open at 3pm and organisers are expecting large crowds – they’re encouraging fans to allow plenty of time for travel and arrive early.
As a reminder, there are shuttle buses running directly from Lever Street to Heaton Park from 1.30pm, but these are almost sold out.
You can also get tickets for Big Green Coach here, or use trams from Victoria Station up to the venue.

The first-ever Horrible Histories live concert is coming to Manchester
Danny Jones
Any fans of childhood favourite Horrible Histories in the house? Well, you might want to pay attention because the iconic kids’ show is bringing its first-ever live concert to Manchester.
The beloved educational comedy by CBBC was, for many of us, the first time we showed a proper interest in history, and we’ll confess, we still go back and comfort-watch it from time to time.
Running from 2009 until 2014, it featured countless funny faces that went on to become stars in the UK comic scene and even spawned a smash-hit live show, which is now celebrating its 20th anniversary.
With that in mind, to help celebrate the milestone, the team behind the cult classic are putting on a special a pretty extensive series of live shows to bring the music of Horrible Histories to domestic audiences, including two right here in Manchester.

Teaming up with Birmingham Stage Company and Lion Television, the BBC and Horrible Histories crew will soon be playing all the hit songs from the TV programme in the flesh.
Based on the books, CBBC show and the success of the theatre show, this unique music-driven live format is written by the TV series’ writers Ben Ward and Claire Wetton.
Led on stage by the Horrible Histories song master, Richie Webb, himself – who has written all the songs from the smash-hit BBC series – you’re getting the full, authentic experience.
Featuring a live band performing the sensational TV songs, including guest appearances from Charles II, Dick Turpin and a bunch of Vikings that we couldn’t stop barging through the stage door, this is one show you don’t want to miss.
