Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson - 26th August 2024

A huge sale on flights has just gone live, with Aer Lingus whisking passengers away to bucket list destinations with offers including New York, Barbados and Orlando. 

The unbelievable deals on flights from Manchester to the USA and Caribbean favourites go live today, Monday 26 August. 

You’ll be able to jet off on the holiday of a lifetime from as little as £359 return as part of the ongoing Aer Lingus sale, one of the most affordable ways to book a trip away on the market right now.

Come to think of it, we think it’s about time we enjoyed a well-earned getaway.

Your dream holiday might involve heading to New York City for ice skating in Central Park, admiring the huge Rockefeller Christmas tree, and watching the ball drop in Times Square.

Or you might be desperate for some winter sun and eyeing up a trip to the tropical paradise of Barbados, for days spent relaxing on golden beaches, swimming in crystal clear waters, and feasting on the nation’s vibrant cuisine. 

Maybe you’re looking to take the whole family to thrill-seek your way around Orlando in Florida, home of the world’s greatest theme parks.

Whatever your perfect winter escape looks like, Aer Lingus can get you there, and affordably – plus, with the friendliest cabin crew in the skies, there’s more than one reason to make the most of this sale.

Aer Lingus flights guarantee properly comfortable seats, in-flight entertainment, meals on board, and a business class option, so your flight will quite literally fly by (but you might not want it to end).

So if you’re looking to carry your summer holiday mood all the way through to next year with a holiday, it might not cost as much as you think. 

The Aer Lingus sale with discounted flights to New York, Barbados and Orlando starts on 26 August and will run until 16 September, so you’ve got plenty of time to make the most of these deals.

Travel is valid on trips between 1 October 2024 and 31 March 2025. 

Fares are expected to sell out fast, so don’t delay. You can find out more and book your flights whilst the Aer Lingus sale still lasts HERE.

Cult classic 13 Going On 30 to make its musical debut in Manchester

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson Cult classic 13 Going On 30 to make its musical debut in Manchester

Cult classic rom com 13 Going On 30 is preparing for its musical world premiere – and it’s happening right here in Manchester.

The brand-new musical is based on the hit 2004 film of the same name, starring Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo. 

As in the film, 13 Going On 30 The Musical will follow awkward teen Jenna Rink who makes a birthday wish to skip those difficult high school years. 

To her surprise – her wish comes true. 

Jenna wakes up to find herself ‘30, flirty and thriving’ in a dream role as a magazine editor, but still trying to work out what, and who really matters in life. 

The brand new musical will open at the legendary Opera House this September, bringing all the magic of the time-travelling film to life.

For the stage version, Lucie Jones (who you might recognise from X Factor) will star as Jenna, alongside David Hunter (Matt), Grace Mouat (Lucy), Caleb Roberts (Richard), Andrew Berlin (Kyle), and Dominic Andersen (Alex).

The musical is also written by the same duo behind the hit flick.

13 Going On 30 The Musical will have songs by Michael Weiner and Alan Zachary, who wrote for High School Musical: The Musical, and will be directed by Andy Fickman of Heathers and She’s The Man.

Film writers Josh Goldsmith and Cathy Yuspa, who have also written the book of the musical, said: “When we wrote the movie 13 Going on 30, we never dreamt that on the film’s 20th anniversary, we’d get the chance to see a whole new generation fall in love with Razzles and feel thirty, flirty, and thriving.

“It’s been a joy to work with ROYO, Revolution Studios, Wendy Federman and Phil Kenny, songwriters Alan Zachary & Michael Weiner, and director Andy Fickman to bring this story to life as a stage musical.

“We were thrilled by the audience’s response to our workshop last year, and now we can’t wait to officially open in Manchester at the legendary Opera House – the launchpad of so many iconic musicals.

“So bring your family, your friends, maybe a date, or just come alone – don’t be shy, we’re all nice. Hope you have as much fun seeing the show as we had making it!”

13 Going On 30 The Musical will be at the Opera House in Manchester between 21 September and 12 October 2025.

Tickets are on sale now HERE.
