Ramona and The Firehouse has launched a brand new bottomless brunch offer, giving guests endless frozen margaritas and unlimited slices of Detroit pizza on Sundays.
Available between 12-5pm within a 90-minute window, it’s one of the very few bottomless brunch deals in the city that give you the option of enjoying endless food AND drink – not to mention great beats and all-around settings.
Bottomless Sunday drinks choices include Ramona’s famous frozen margaritas and its watermelon, gin and basil, or Aperol spritz, alongside limitless prosecco, mimosa and pints of Ramona pilsner – costing you just £15 to drink as much of the (frankly excellent) list as you can muster within an hour and a half.

And to soak up all that booze? Endless slices of their focaccia-like Detroit pizza, characterised by its rectangular shape and caramelised cheese crust – known here as the ‘cheese crown’.
Unlimited pizza slices are available across the board – with choices like the Cali Pepps (Detroit sauce, pepperoni, burrata, pecorino, hot honey and cheese, £7.50), listed alongside classic slices like margherita, mushroom, pepperoni and the (sometimes) controversial ham and pineapple.

The team has also created a special brunch slice with pancetta, fennel sausage, roast mushroom, pecorino, poached egg and hollandaise for the occassion. Known as ‘The Detroiter’, it’s only available on the weekends during brunch hours, Saturday and Sunday.

If you don’t feel like gorging on pizza and just want one dish, you can also opt for the booze-only bottomless deal. Priced at £27, this will get you a slice of your choice and 90 minutes of endless drinks from a set list.

Usually, this £27 bottomless deal runs throughout the week from 12-3pm, but with Ramona currently not opening in the day throughout January (and possibly some of February) it will be limited to Saturdays only.
The new ‘endless pizza’ deal, however, is available between 12-5pm on Sundays only. This will cost you £15 for limitless pizzas from the slice bar or, if you want endless pizza and booze, it’ll set you back £35 in total.

Live from Wythenshawe Park – lineup, travel, tickets, times, and everything you need to know
Lydia Mastrolonardo
What a month August has shaped up to be – and it’s far from over yet, with the Live from Wythenshawe Park gig series on the way.
Five massive headline gigs will take place in the south Manchester suburb in the coming weeks, pulling together yet another star-studded lineup to round off summer on a high.
This year, performances will come from the likes of Courteeners, Lewis Capaldi, The Cure, Pulp, and The Prodigy, all with huge support acts.
Be sure to mind the weather, drink plenty of water, look after each other and, above all else, enjoy yourselves.
If you’re heading down to the Live at Wythenshawe Park gig series, we’ve rounded up everything you need to know.
Travel guide: How to get to Wythenshawe Park
Relax, we’ve done the hard work for you so that you can focus on the important stuff. You know, like planning your outfits and where to pre-drink.
We’d always advocate for travelling as green as possible and using public transport where you can and so without further ado…
Our number one recommendation would be Live From Wythenshawe Park’s fantastic shuttle bus service, to get you safely back into the city centre.
Shuttles will depart from Aytoun Street/Minshull Street (near Kampus) every six minutes and head straight to Wythenshawe Park, or you can grab one from Parrs Wood in East Didsbury, which run every 15 mintes. Check out the timings and locations HERE.
Alternatively, Big Green Coaches will also be travelling to the gigs and are available from various locations.
There are also three tram stops to choose from: Wythenshawe Park, Moor Road and Baguley. However, it’s worth noting that both Wythenshawe Park and Baguley will be closed from 9pm, so you won’t be able to get back home this way.
Simplest of all, your best bet is downloading the Bee Network app, where you’ll find all the key details in one convenient place. Be warned – get there with plenty of time to avoid queuing and congestion on public transport in and around Greater Manchester.
If all else fails, there are still some car park tickets that you can buy online from the Live From Wythenshawe website.
For more information, you can find all the up-to-date travel stuff HERE or check out (TfGM) Transport for Greater Manchester’s guidance and even use their interactive map.

Manchester Village Pride – ticket prices, lineup, parade, and more
Daisy Jackson
Manchester Village Pride is coming home. After years of celebrations that have stretched across the city, Pride is returning to the heart of Manchester’s LGBTQ+ community for four days of music, drag, culture, community and, of course, one very big party in the Gay Village.
Taking place over the August bank holiday weekend, from Friday 28 to Monday 31 August, Manchester Village Pride 2026 promises a celebration that focuses firmly on community, with a packed programme bringing together LGBTQ+ icons, local talent, drag queens, DJs, performers and artists across the Village and beyond.
The Pride Parade will once again take over Manchester’s streets on Saturday 29 August, with thousands expected to line the route as it makes its way from Liverpool Street into the city centre and towards the Gay Village.
There’s also a brand-new Pride Fringe programme, bringing LGBTQ+ film, comedy, club nights, exhibitions, walking tours, family events and more to venues across Manchester.
So whether you’re heading straight for the outdoor stages, getting involved with the parade, exploring the Fringe or simply soaking up the atmosphere around Canal Street, there’s something happening throughout the city.
Here’s everything you need to know about Manchester Village Pride 2026, including the dates and times, parade route, lineup, ticket prices, entry rules and the best of this year’s Pride Fringe.
When is Manchester Village Pride 2026?
Manchester Village Pride will take place on August bank holiday weekendThe parade will also return
As always, the Manchester Village Pride celebrations will take place over the August bank holiday weekend, filling the Gay Village for four whole days.
This year, Manchester Village Pride will take place on Friday 28, Saturday 29, Sunday 30, and Monday 31 August.
Event gates will open at 6pm on the Friday, 12pm on both Saturday and Sunday, and 10am on Monday for the Family Fun Day.
The main outdoor stages will wrap up earlier, but the party in venues around the Gay Village will continue into the early hours – naturally.
Manchester Village Pride Parade info
The Manchester Village Pride Parade will return in 2026, weaving its way all throughout the city streets on Saturday 29 August.
This year’s theme is ‘No Place Like Home’, an apt choice as the celebrations return to their spiritual home in the Gay Village.
The route will begin on Liverpool Street at around midday, before travelling down Deansgate, Peter Street, Oxford Street, Portland Street and Whitworth Street, finishing in The Village at around 4pm.
Road closures will be in place, which you can see HERE.
Manchester Village Pride lineup
In stark contrast to the previous Manchester Pride bosses, this year’s organisers have put most of the time, effort, and money into curating a real community, back-to-its roots Pride celebration.
So rather than a big flashy headliner, they’ve curated one of the best lineups we’ve seen in years, of LGBTQ+ icons and allies plus loads of homegrown talent (and they’ve spent £20k less on the entire bill than was spent on one single headliner last year).
Performing at Manchester Village Pride 2026 will be the likes of Nadine Coyle, Danny Beard, Gareth Gates, Kate Nash, Cascada, and Rowetta.
Friday will be headlined by Nadine Coyle and Danny Beard; Saturday will see top slots for Gareth Gates and Meek; on Sunday, it’ll be Cascada and Kate Nash; then Rowetta will be the main act on Sunday.
They’re joined by a lineup of fantastic local talent, including artists, DJs, and drag queens, taking our city’s Pride celebrations back to their roots, and keeping things firmly in the Gay Village.
It’s going to be epic.
Manchester Village Pride ticket prices
The music will all take place in the Gay Village for Manchester Village Pride
Also in stark contrast to 2025 will be the ticket prices for Manchester Village Pride, which are as follows:
Weekend tickets – £44.80 including booking fee
Friday, Saturday, Sunday day tickets – £28 including booking fee
Organisers have stressed that you will need a wristband to enter the Gay Village – this is because the Village legally becomes a ‘Live Event Space’, and its license requires a secure perimeter.
Without that, there can be no outdoor stages or bar.
Pride Fringe events
Manchester is launching its first-ever Pride Fringe this year, bringing LGBTQ+ arts, culture, entertainment and community events to venues across the city.
The programme includes the SCENE film and TV festival, comedy, club nights, exhibitions, Pride-themed walking tours, shopping events and family activities.
Manchester Arndale will also hold a pre-Pride celebration on 22 and 23 August, with makeup stations, a selfie spot, and live drag performances.
Many events will raise funds for local LGBTQ+ charities, while hotels are offering Pride-themed packages, parties, gifts and discounts.
