Deliveroo has launched a graduation wear delivery service on it’s app, and it could be a lifesaver for last-minute students in Manchester.
Graduation month is here, and as students right across Greater Manchester and the UK attend collect their degrees in front of friends and family after years of hard work and dedication, Deliveroo has decided to launch a one-stop emergency ‘Deliver-Robe’ shop through its rapid grocery delivery service, Deliveroo HOP.
The new in-app feature is offering last-minute graduation cap and gown delivery for those students who may have forgotten to pre-order their attire.
Now available in a handful of major UK cities right through until 31 July, students can order an emergency graduation cap and gown direct to their doors in minutes via Deliveroo HOP for just £2.23 – a clever nod to the Class of 2023.
The service is also available in London, Bristol, Brighton, and Cambridge, as well as Manchester.

Deliveroo says it has launched the new service because students across the UK are typically required to pre-order and rent gowns and caps directly from their university, but most universities don’t offer the opportunity to rent on graduation day itself.
Luckily, these emergency cap and gowns can be ordered from participating Deliveroo HOP directly through the Deliveroo app or online and delivered the very same day.

“The final months of university can be a blur, with the stress of exams and deadlines, celebrating with friends, and of course, remembering to pre-order and rent your graduation robes,” Deliveroo’s Aisha Jefferson admitted.
“That’s why we’ve launched our emergency ‘Deliver-Robe’ shop across the UK in partnership with Deliveroo HOP, to ensure students don’t miss out on collecting their degree in front of friends and family.”

On top of the graduation attire delivery, students can also order a wide range of tasty breakfast essentials to tuck into for under £2.50, which are ideal for lining the stomach and settling nerves on the morning of the big day, and then there’s also plenty bottles of fizz and prosecco perfect for popping from just £11.50 too.
Students can find out more and order directly through the Deliveroo app or online.

From drone shows to free ice lollies – what went down at Parklife 2025
Daisy Jackson
It’s been a few days since Parklife 2025 wrapped up, and now that we’ve all caught up on sleep we’re looking back on some of the highlights you might’ve missed.
With such a stacked line-up of live music, it would be impossible to have seen everything – from that sizzling final set from Charli XCX to Morgan Seatree’s emotional hometown show, plus viral sensation Interplanetary Criminal filling Matinee and D.O.D. getting the whole Big Top dancing.
One moment that you couldn’t possibly have missed if you were on the ground at Parklife festival was a surprise drone show which dazzled overhead on Saturday night.
As rap legend 50 Cent wrapped up his huge headline set on The Valley stage, and The Hangar came alive to the sound of Pawsa, fans got an extra special treat way up in the skies.
Hundreds of drones came together in an impressive, illuminated aerial display, starting with a 10-second countdown that stopped festival-goers in their tracks.
The drones then flew in formation to create iconic shapes like a yellow JD Sports duffle bag, an adidas shoebox, and the shape of a slowly-rotating Climacool trainer – and what a trainer it is.

That wasn’t the only bit of attention the Climacool footwear got at Parklife either – thankful fans were treated to free Climacool branded ice lollies and slushies on their way into the festival on Saturday.
As the sun beat down on Heaton Park (bar the odd brief downpour, classic Manchester), adidas and JD Sports arrived in an ice cream truck with the coolest drop at the festival.
There was a helping hand from social media sensation Yombo to hype up the crowd before the festival had even got started.
The Climacool has a textile lining and upper work, with a perforated midsole to allow airflow and keep your feet fresh – perfect for any city adventure (and pretty perfect for a day at Parklife, we discovered).
If the Climacool trainers have caught your eye – either in the sky, at the Climacool ice cream truck, or on social media – then the good news is you can now shop them for yourselves.
