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.

MUSU has also hosted events with other partners, like the House of Suntory, with specialist menus, cocktails and a total sensory immersion experience unlike anything seen in the UK before.
Rewards programme members will even be given a complimentary drink on their birthday.
And there’s even a monthly prize draw to win a 12-course Land Of The Rising Sun experience with wine pairings.
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.
MUSU’s Rewards Programme is now taking sign-ups, however spaces are limited. Sign-up at the link here to gain access.
Sensory-friendly Northern Lights to illuminate Printworks’ digital ceiling to mark Neurodiversity Celebration Week

This week marks the start of Neurodiversity Celebration Week.
Approximately 15-20% of the population has a neurological difference, according to the most recent statistics, and Neurodiversity Celebration Week (16-20 March 2026) highlighting the importance of championing, raising awareness of, and accommodating neurodiverse people.
And Printworks is marking the occasion in its own special way, with a series of new initiatives designed to create a more ‘inclusive’ and ‘sensory-friendly’ environment.
You may already know that the popular indoor entertainment complex in the heart of Manchester city centre is home to more than a dozen bars, restaurants, and leisure activities – including one of the largest IMAX screens on the continent – and Europe’s largest digital ceiling too, of course, but this week’s experience is unlike anything the venue has welcomed before.
Throughout the week, Printworks will be transforming its digital ceiling with calming Northern Lights and constellations which have been specifically designed to create a relaxed, sensory-friendly atmosphere for visitors with additional sensory needs.

As part of a long-term commitment to accessibility and inclusivity, Printworks is also introducing a weekly sensory-friendly hour every Sunday too, where lighting throughout the venue will be dimmed, and music and SFX volumes reduced for a reduced-stimulus environment.
200 free sensory packs – which can be collected at Vue cinema – with a pair of ear defenders and sensory-friendly toys, designed to support visitors who may benefit from sensory tools while enjoying the venue, are also on offer throughout the course of the week.
On top of this, there’s also a range of autism-friendly cinema screenings taking place on the last Sunday of every month at 10:30am.
An additional autism-friendly screening will be taking place with a showing of Hoppers this Sunday 22 March at 10:30am, with tickets now available from Vue’s website.
“Neurodiversity Celebration Week is an important time for brands and venues to recognise and support the diverse ways visitors and audiences experience the world,” commented Dan Davis, who is the General Manager at Printworks.
“We endeavour to ensure that all visitors feel comfortable and welcome when spending time at Printworks.”
