Printworks has launched a competition giving two lucky couples the chance to win the “ultimate” Valentine’s date night.
Fancy a game of ‘Love Lotto’? Well, it’s certainly the season for it.
With the international day of love right around the corner now, Manchester’s Printworks has decided to celebrate by launching an exciting Valentine’s-themed competition over on its app, where couples are encouraged to “give love a chance” in a bid to win the ultimate date night experience.
In case you hadn’t heard, Printworks launched a new app back in the summer, and it means customers can follow their favourite venues within the landmark entertainment complex to keep up-to-date with all the latest news and events, as well as take advantage of loads of offers, enter competitions, and so much more.
Available now as a free download on both the App Store and Google Store, the app features its own selection of exclusive discounts.

Not only that, but it also gives members the opportunity to collect loyalty points when they visit the city centre venue, as well as get monthly rewards and freebies, alongside exclusive VIP access to events and the chance to win prizes.
Oh, and this month, you’ll also get to play the ‘Love Lotto’ too.

With the competition now live, couples can claim their ‘Love Lotto’ tickets via the rewards scheme on the app, and then they’ll immediately be entered into a draw to win one of two Valentine’s date night bundles – which include a £50 gift card to spend on a romantic meal at a Printworks restaurant of choice, a £40 gift card for a fun activity at one of the leisure venues, and two cinema tickets for Vue.
The romantic prizes don’t end their either, as the two winning couples will also receive gift bags filled with pamper items, delicious Valentine’s chocolates, and all sorts of other luxurious treats.
To enter the competition, you’ll just need to download the Printworks App and create a profile, then head over to the rewards section and redeem a ‘Love Lotto’ ticket reward.

The winners will be notified via email on Monday 12 February – with all the instructions for prize collection from Manchester’s Printworks provided.

Sensory-friendly Northern Lights to illuminate Printworks’ digital ceiling to mark Neurodiversity Celebration Week
Emily Sergeant
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.”
