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.

Etihad Stadium showcases City Hall, the new beating heart of Manchester City match days
Lonnie Bowes
There’s a particular kind of Manchester buzz you only get pitch-side. If you’re a seasoned Cityzen this one’s for you – one of three major new hospitality options for your next game day at the Etihad Stadium.
Tucked in the heart of the new Pep Guardiola Stand, directly behind the goal, we have the brand-new City Hall.
City Hall is built for people who actually want to watch football in comfort, and with a massive 500 capacity hall a stone’s throw from the pitch, it’s a hard one to pass up.
Doors open a full two hours before the match, and that early access turns the day into an occasion rather than a scramble.
There’s time to properly soak up the atmosphere in what is a genuinely lively, buzzing bar, and I have to say potentially one of the best I’ve come across on a match day.
Food and drink are where the local flavour really comes through. The street food menu leans into Manchester’s own identity with a modern twist.
The catering is relaxed and doesn’t take itself too seriously, let’s just say having a chip barm and chicken madras pie on the run-up to a kick-off is my idea of heaven.
Every guest gets an inclusive drink as part of your booking, too. You get to pick from a selected wine, beer or soft drink which you can claim at any point during your visit.
It’s a setup that suits everyone, whether you’re in it for a proper pre-match pint with your mates or meal with your family before a day of making pitch side memories.
The little touches matter too. A matchday programme is a nice, old-school addition in an era where so much matchday content has gone digital.
And crucially, the experience doesn’t end at the final whistle: with an hour’s access after the match, there’s no need to bolt for the exits the second the referee blows for full-time. You can sit and finish your drink, and let the ground empty out around you instead of fighting through it.
Put it all together and City Hall feels like hospitality done with an actual sense of place.
Manchester street food, a proper buzzing bar, and one of the best seats in the house, all wrapped around a schedule that respects the fact that match day is about more than just the 90 minutes.
For anyone looking to upgrade how they watch City this season, it’s well worth a look.
Have a look and make a booking at City Hall at the Etihad Stadium HERE.
