King Street Townhouse is getting wrapped up in football fever ahead of this year’s Euros and is offering one of the most luxurious and laid-back ways to watch the game in Manchester.
The luxury hotel, spa and gym has always been known for having a surprise or two up its sleeve and with Euro 2024 rapidly approaching, they’re turning one of the worst-kept secrets into the perfect opportunity for football fans.
King Street‘s ‘secret’ cinema has been delighting Manchester locals and out-of-towners for ages now, whether it be with cosy screenings of classic Christmas films or putting on a beloved rom-com for Valentine’s Day, but now they’re turning their exclusive viewing room into a private fan zone.
Open to fans of any nation competing at this year’s European Championships, the boutique hotel is offering you the chance to bring all your friends and family not just under one roof for the game but to sit back and watch the matches in arguably the comfiest seats you’ll find anywhere in the city centre.
Available for booking up to 20 people, their lavish personal cinema is set to see the comfort of your front room collide with the energy of your favourite sports bar, only this place happens to be decked out in the most lavish furnishings you can imagine.

From plump, sinking sofas with soft curtains and mood lighting you can adjust depending on the vibe, to the big screen projector, ice-cold buckets of beer and gourmet menu offerings that you can have brought straight to your seat, this is a real all-in-one experience for you and yours.
Food-wise, you can grab one of their signature King Street Townhouse Cheeseburgers with fries of a classic Pepperoni Pizza, with veggie and vegan alternatives also on offer. For a seat to watch the game with a beer is only £15 per person and to upgrade to a beer bucket of four is £35.

Or, you can always spring for both at just £45pp, with all food and drink served at half-time to make sure you don’t miss a second of the action – and you can of course order extras on the day too.

Listen, watching the game in a rowdy pub full of people you don’t know isn’t for everyone but that doesn’t mean you have to stick with staying at home and squeezing you and yours around one normal-sized telly.
King Street Townhouse has the perfect alternative with its private screening room, which also happens to be one of the most exclusive, intimate and relaxing ways to enjoy the Euros anywhere in Manchester this summer.

Manchester’s Science and Industry Museum announces FREE programme of space-themed activities
Emily Sergeant
National Space Day is coming up, and you can celebrate with a bunch of free space-inspired activities in Manchester this bank holiday.
Ever wondered what astronauts eat in orbit? How they use the loo in zero gravity? Or why crumbs are bad news on the International Space Station? Well, to celebrate National Space Day – which is taking place this year on Friday 1 May – you’ll now get to discover the answers to those questions and so much more down at the Science and Industry Museum early next month.
The popular Manchester city centre-based museum has unveiled a programme of free ‘out-of-this-world’ events and activities this upcoming May bank holiday weekend.
The programme of free events are set to accompany the museum’s latest special exhibition, Horrible Science: Cosmic Chaos – which you do have to pay for – and will give visitors more ways to explore the ‘wonders and weirdness’ of space.

Launching on National Space Day (Friday 1 May) and running through to Monday 4 May, the special bank holiday weekend programme is especially timely following the recent return of Artemis II astronauts from their history-making mission around the moon.
Families can get a taste of space during new live shows by sampling real foods used to feed astronauts, and discover more about how humans live and work beyond Earth, while budding space explorers put their skills to the test in interactive activities designed to ‘spark curiosity’ and ‘stretch imaginations’ to the moon and back.
Stargazers can enjoy the night sky as its projected across super-sized screens, or get creative by crafting their very own constellations and designing a mission patch for an astronaut’s spacesuit.

“2026 has already been a stellar year for space,” commented Tash Camberwell, who is the Interpretation and Content Developer at the Science and Industry Museum, as the programme of free events was announced this week.
“We’ve been so inspired by the amazing Artemis II astronauts, so I’m especially excited to bring space back down to Earth with an action-packed programme for the May bank holiday.
“Just like the exhibition, our holiday activities have been created for young people and their grown-ups to enjoy together by blending humour, hands-on science and spectacular experiences to spark curiosity in space and inspire the next generation of space explorers.”
More information on the bank holiday weekend activities can be found on the Science and Industry Museum’s website here, and free general admission tickets, as well as £10 tickets to Horrible Science: Cosmic Chaos, can also be booked online too – with under threes going free.
Following what was a popular spring school holidays, museum staff say early booking is ‘advised’.
