How to get a massive 30% off at one of Manchester’s most luxurious restaurants MUSU

A cracking deal from MUSU.

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson - 7th March 2024

MUSU, widely considered to be one of Manchester’s top restaurants, has launched a new scheme that will give customers a whopping 30% discount this March. 

The luxury city centre Japanese restaurant has announced details of a new free-to-join rewards programme, which will give members exclusive access to discounts and offers. 

MUSU’s exclusive rewards programme will give anyone who signs up (and places are limited) a special 30% off to use in March, on any of MUSU’s exceptional menus. 

This includes the full Land of the Rising Sun tasting menu, which takes diners on a journey through four Japanese cooking styles available in five, eight or 12 courses and starts at just £35 with the March code.

And that 30% discount is applicable to MUSU’s acclaimed Omakase experience, where just six diners sit at the chef’s table.

Omakase translates to ‘I’ll leave it up to you’, and the chef in front of you will be entirely in control of what you eat, talking you through every fish and ingredient as it’s expertly turned into your dinner. 

Then from April, the rewards will include 30% off food bills when dining at lunch, and 10% off food bills for evening sittings.

There’s even a 10% discount on private hire and private dining, with private meals taking place in a subtly closed-off dining area that’s proved popular with celebrities and Japanese food fanatics alike. 

If you sign up for the rewards programme, you’ll also have early access to the restaurant’s special events, like its viral live tuna cutting experience. 

This event is an homage to the historic sushi parlours in Japan and guests have been able to witness the traditional carving of a huge Bluefin Tuna – not something you see every day.

Within mere months of opening, MUSU had received rave reviews, including glowing praise from national critic Grace Dent, marking itself as one of the city’s most exciting openings.

A magical illuminated trail will make its return to the historic Dunham Massey this winter, once again filling the grounds with twinkling lights and dazzling installations. 

Christmas at Dunham Massey has become one of the North West’s most popular festive light trails, created by award-winning light trail producers and taking place annually at the National Trust site in Greater Manchester. 

For 2025, there’ll be brand-new installations, like ‘Fish Are Jumping’, where points of light will leap like fish over the lake, in a mesmerising dance. 

Visitors will walk through multicoloured landscapes of laser beams, while a projection on the facade of the historic house at Dunham Massey will narrate festive stories. 

You’ll also be able to marvel at installations like ‘Field of Stars’ where colour-changing stars more than five metres high glow overhead; ‘Crocus Lawn’, filled with larger-than-life glowing flowers; and ‘Pixel Trees’, a cluster of Christmas trees made from thousands of LEDs.

Beyond the installations, there’s even a festive fairground you can enjoy.

Manchester’s iconic Victoria Baths is set to host an almighty market later this month, with more than 100 traders taking over the former swimming pool and balconies. 

The Night Market UK will make its return to Manchester for its biggest event yet, packing the Grade II-listed building with vintage sellers, independent makers, street food, cocktails, and loads more. 

The historic venue will be completely transformed after dark on Friday 31 October for the occasion, and will have a few seasonal twists befitting Halloween night. 

As well as the food, drink and makers taking part, The Night Market UK will also have art installations and DJ performances. 

You’ll be able to wander rows of stalls in the former swimming baths selling the finest vintage clothing and handmade goods, like ceramics, prints, bakes, jewellery and so much more. 

Heading back outside the magnificent building you’ll find multiple street food traders, serving everything from tacos to Thai to burgers to pizza. 

Cocktail Cartel will be on hand with two bars with spirits sourced from the Spirit of Manchester Distillery and Salford’s own Salford Rum, alongside beers from local legends Seven Brothers Brewery.

They said: “We are really excited about being at The Nigh t Market UK– these guys just know how to do it – getting all the locals together and supporting the businesses that make this city what it is. 

“You can go anywhere and get a pint of San Miguel or a pint of Guinness – if you’re going to a Manchester market why not get a beer brewed from the city you’re in?! It gives it that personal touch, which is what we are all about.”

Live DJs will be playing all night, with the line-up announced soon on the @thenightmarketuk socials. 

The Night Market UK is one of the country’s most distinctive events and will bring to Manchester something for everyone, from families to late-night explorers. 

Becc Sanderson, director of The Night Market UK, says: “We are thrilled to return to Victoria Baths for what promises to be our biggest and most exciting event yet.

“This isn’t just about shopping, it’s about experiencing one of Manchester’s most iconic buildings in a whole new way. It’s about connection with friends, family and community, and celebrating the breadth of small business talent that Manchester has to offer. 

“From the installations and performances to the makers and food vendors, everything has been curated to create an evening that feels truly unique. To be here on Halloween night, with the baths transformed after dark, will make it all the more unforgettable.

“We’re also hugely excited to be launching our art collaborations in this incredible space, something that has been in the planning stages for well over a year. 

“Thanks to the myriad of fabulous ‘nooks and crannies’ in Victoria Baths, and the fact that it is Halloween after all, we’ve earmarked a space where our customers can enjoy an immersive multimedia experience featuring the work of artist/technologist Ross Blair (trenchone.com) and lighting designer Sam Jones (@smajoneslx), fresh off their huge success at Edinburgh’s Hidden Door Festival. 

“This will be a night that will be unforgettable and truly Spooktacular!”

The Night Market UK will take place at Victoria Baths in Manchester on Friday 31 October, with discounted tickets available online now HERE with timed entry slots. Limited full price tickets may be available on the door.
