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.”

To order their last-minute graduation attire, students in Manchester will just need to open to Deliveroo app and search for the nearest Deliveroo HOP store, before clicking on the specially-created ‘Deliver-Robe’ category tile.
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.

Aspiring artists can get their work displayed on one of the biggest digital screens in Manchester
Danny Jones
Are you a budding artist looking to get your work seen or know some who is? Well, you might want to pay attention because there’s an opportunity to have your creation seen by countless passers-by and on one of the biggest displays in the entire UK over at the Printworks.
If you’ve passed through the much-loved hospitality and leisure complex over the past year or so, you’ll have noticed their roof is now no longer a roof at all, really; the striking ceiling is now a constantly moving image and the largest of its kind in all of Europe.
Meaning that anyone who got their artworks on there would effectively be securing one of the biggest displays and public installations on the continent.
As Printworks themselves put it: “This isn’t just a screen; it’s an artistic stage viewed by millions of visitors every year, with the power to turn a single artwork into a 360-degree sensory experience.”
With that in mind, they’re giving one lucky individual the chance to grab the spotlight and see their creative expression plastered on the 1,000m² wraparound LED canvas.
“Supporting emerging talent and seeing fresh, creative perspectives is always inspiring, and I can’t wait to see what these young artists bring to the table! It was so surreal seeing my artwork on the digital.”
Past installations have included the ‘Spaces Up-Above’ exhibition by world-renowned light artist, Rupert Newman, as well as an International Women’s Day showcase by Heitzman herself, as a fellow Manchester-based creative.
In case you need a better idea of the sheer scale of this screen and why this is such an exciting opportunity for up-and-coming local artists, here’s how they celebrated Oasis returning to Manchester for their Heaton Park reunion gigs this week:
Synchronised with sound and added motion effects, the competition is now open to students who are currently enrolled in college, university or art school.
Better still, you don’t even have to be from or based in the area to take part – this is a nationwide competition hoping to spotlight the best talents in the UK.
All you have to do to enter this exciting competition in Manchester is simply provide Printworks your details and upload your artwork of choice HERE by Sunday, 3 August.
Nostalgic ready-to-drink Breezer makes UK return after a decade
Daisy Jackson
An iconic ready-to-drink favourite has launched back into the UK – oh yes, Breezer is back.
First launched in the 1990s, Breezers – then pitched as an ‘alcopop’ – were a staple on dancefloors and at barbecues right across the UK.
And now Bacardi has decided to bring these delicious, fruity, easy-drinking bottles back to British shores.
There are three new flavours to try as Breezers return to your fridges – Zesty Orange, Zingy Lime, and Crisp Watermelon.
And Breezer launched back into Manchester last night with a suitably memorable party, turning a spot in the Northern Quarter into a corner shop.
The ‘local Cornerbop’ was stacked with your usual essentials, plus shelf after shelf of these colourful glass ready-to-drink bottles.

The Breezer relaunch party saw Tarsza and Rennie Peters spinning nostalgic anthems with a modern twist at a pop-up party in a corner shop.
Steve Young, business unit director for Bacardi in the UK & Ireland, said: “We know there is a lot of love for Breezer in the UK, and we are confident a new generation of consumers will fall in love with the new Breezer.
“RTDs are booming, however, the Flavoured Alcoholic Beverages category could do with a bit more excitement. By bringing back Breezer we’re definitely putting the fruity taste into FAB.”
The iconic ready-to-drink classic is back – and better than ever.
