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.

Man re-arrested in relation to Manchester synagogue terror attack after previous release
Emily Sergeant
A man who was previously arrested and released in relation to the terror attack at a synagogue in Crumpsall last week has been re-arrested.
The 30-year-old was first arrested on 2 October on suspicion of the commission, preparation, and instigation of acts of terrorism following the shocking knife and car attack, which took place on Yom Kippur last week – the holiest day in the Jewish calendar – at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue.
Two men sadly lost their lives during the attack – Adrian Daulby, 53, who is believed to have been shot dead by Greater Manchester Police (GMP) while trying to stop the attacker from entering the synagogue, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, a worshipper who also helped stop the attacker.
The attacker has been named as 35-year-old Jihad al Shamie – a 35-year-old British citizen of Syrian descent who lived in Prestwich – who at the time was on bail for an alleged rape, before being shot dead by police.

The man was re-arrested on suspicion of Failing to Disclose Information contrary to S38B of the Terrorism Act 2000.
He was arrested at 12.34pm under PACE at Manchester Airport earlier yesterday (9 October) and has since been released on bail – but this time ‘with conditions’.
GMP says they ‘do not believe’ there is any ongoing threat to the public following the incident last week, even in the wake of the re-arrest.
The news of the re-arrested comes after an ongoing investigation currently by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) revealed earlier this week that it had found no evidence of police ‘misconduct’ during the incident.
It remains a live investigation led by Counter Terrorism Policing North West.

Local artist Michael J. Browne’s latest exhibition is complete and free to view in town
Danny Jones
Celebrated local artist Michael J. Browne (MJB) has finally assembled his latest exhibition, and it’s now on display for free right in the middle of Manchester.
The Moss Side native has completed a number of eye-catching works over the past year or so, which many of you may have noticed steadily cropping up along Deansgate.
Famed for working with the likes of Eric Cantona and the National Football Museum, as well as a viral piece picturing President Donald Trump pride of place in the city centre, he’s been making waves from a particular corner over the past few months.
That piece, along with multiple follow-ups in the collection, can be viewed in the flesh at no cost – and trust us, they’re worth examining up close and personal…
Entitled, ‘A Portrait of Power’, the new exhibit by Michael J. Browne is uneniably one of his most provocative yet, spotlighting figures like Trump, notable British politicians, the Royal Family and more in a big shop window over at Great Northern Warehouse.
Featuring everything from football-themed nods to the likes of Maradona and Cristiano Ronaldo, to his monumental ‘Sovereign Servant’ oil painting, which sees recognisable Royals, Conservatives and other famous faces aboard HMS Victory in front of the Houses of Parliament, the intricacy is staggering.
You only have to glimpse one of these point-blank to see the sheer level of detail; collectively, the art amounts to thousands of hours of effort and weeks spent covering every inch of the large canvases.
Exhibiting a bold fusion of historical symbolism with contemporary commentary, drawing from key cultural characters that make up the current zeitgeist, Browne is all about capturing the shifting face of ‘British identity’, as ever amorphous and transient as it may be.
Put simply, this installation is “a portrait of power, legacy, and national reflection.”
Known for his incredibly precise and almost microscopic technique, MJB‘s work has been showcased all over the world, including at the National Portrait Gallery, and never fails to stir up a conversation.
The exhibition will be held for a limited time at his current venue within units 291-293 at Great Northern.
Situated right on the corner of the main Deansgate strip and the adjoining Great Bridgewater Street, it’s hard to miss once you’ve seen it.
Private viewings are also available by appointment for the likes of MPs, political party members and accredited media, as well as interested members of the public.
