A fashion brand that’s carving out a niche for flattering, colourful activewear will be launching inside Harvey Nichols Manchester this week.
Red Run has been created by women, for women, understanding the importance of having exercise gear that’s well-fitting and comfortable.
Their collections are made with a range of sustainable, sweat-wicking fabrics, always with a fashion-forward design.
Promising to be ‘a new beginning for activewear’, Red Run’s launch into Harvey Nichols will coincide with the arrival of their new SS23 seasonal collection, Azalea.
Azalea will draw inspiration from the colourful and fast-paced world of motor cross racing, with a 20-piece collection that’s ‘guaranteed to turn heads’.

Red Run has prided itself on its ultra-inclusive trend-led approach to fashion – in fact, their Sculpt & Perky leggings are said to be the best fit in the industry.
And soon you’ll be able to see it for yourself with their exclusive pop-up at Harvey Nichols Manchester.

In the Azalea collection, pieces will include colourful printed sweaters, lightweight running shorts and supportive cycling shorts, and a waterproof, windproof jacket that will work for both sports and all those summer festivals.
The BCI cotton used in Red Run’s collections uses sustainable farming practices that reduce water usage, minimise the use of harmful pesticides and fertilisers, all whilst promoting fair labour practices.
The northern brand also uses recycled tensile fabrics from post-consumer waste materials, like plastic bottles and textile scraps, transforming them into high-quality fabrics.

But there’s never a compromise on quality, with every item in the Azalea collection featuring premium quality fabrics, technical designs and complimentary silhouettes.
Megan Kimmance, Creative Director & Co-Founder of Red Run, said: “Red Run has a very specific visual aesthetic – it’s our point of difference. Seasonal collections will always be bold and vibrant inspired by seasonal trends featuring various fabrics and Azalea is no exception.
“I have used this collection to be more experimental than ever, introducing new styles, fabrics and silhouettes.
“This collection is a step above active streetwear as we know it and is more adaptable than previous Red Run collections. For example, the technical pull trousers are a total game changer – they can be styled with a heeled sandal as well as a vibrant sneaker.
“The Azalea campaign shows the multiple dimensions of the collection – all the pieces can be mixed and matched enabling the consumer to achieve multiple full provision looks without having to purchase the entire collection. The colours I chose shouldn’t work, but they just do.”

Red Run will be live at Harvey Nichols Manchester from 6 May 2023. You can browse and shop their activewear at redrunactivewear.com.

Students will be able to take part in a build-your-own ramen workshop this week, led by everyone’s favourite pan-Asian restaurant group, Wagamama.
The workshops will cost just £5 (all of which will go to a brilliant cause), and will include the time spent creating your perfect meal, the actual food, plus drinks and sides.
Wagamama has teamed up with mental health charity SHOUT to host this cosy ramen-making workshop.
Students will be invited to join Wagamama chefs in the kitchen, selecting their own broth, protein and veggies, with perfectly-cooked noodles, before sitting down at the restaurant’s benches to slurp up their creations with fellow students.
There’ll also be toppings and garnishes including kimchi, tea-stained eggs, chilli oil, spring onions and more.
With merch to take home too, and steaming bowls of the best-ever autumn dish, this is a one-off event you won’t want to miss.

Each £5 ticket includes your food and two drinks, plus a variety of the new Wagamama winter sides and sharers.
All money raised will be donated to SHOUT to support the vital services they provide.
A representative from SHOUT will also be in attendance to talk about student wellbeing and the services available from the charity.
Wagamama says: “At Wagamama, we believe having a conversation is one of the most powerful ways you can support someone struggling with their mental health. Whether it’s a quick check-in via text or an open conversation over a bowl of steaming ramen. no chat is too big or too small to make an impact.

“This ethos is one we share with SHOUT, a free, confidential, 24/7 text messaging service for anyone in the UK who needs someone to talk to. After huge demand during Covid, SHOUT’s service has become increasingly essential + today SHOUT is more highly in demand than ever before.”
The Japanese and pan-Asian restaurant is donating £40,000 to SHOUT this year, plus providing perks and rewards for their team of volunteers, and hosting events in their spaces.
The Wagamama ramen-building workshop will take place at the St Peter’s Square restaurant on Thursday 7 November between 2pm and 4pm. You can get your tickets HERE.

The magnificent grounds of Tatton Park will be transformed into a ‘glittering winter adventure’ this festive season.
With spooky season now a thing of the past, and Christmas merely a few weeks away, families will soon be whisked away into a world of folklore, enchantment, and enthralling performances as they enter the gardens of the stunning Tatton Park in Cheshire for an immersive, festival-like experience known as Yuletide.
Organisers say the captivating event promises to be a “truly magical experience” where folklore stories come to life through storytelling and live music.

All set to transport visitors right into the heart of Yuletide tales, the exciting new event – which opens next weekend, and runs through until late December – is produced by Wild Rumpus, who you may know for other magical local events such as ‘The Lanterns’ at Chester Zoo (2018-2022) and Just So Festival.
The highlight of this new event has to be The Glittering Trail, where beautifully-illuminated puppets and performers bring legendary stories of Yuletide to life as visitors wander through the park’s popular Japanese Gardens and make the most of the stunning winter landscape.
Families can gather around an open fire to toast marshmallows, all while they watch live performances that add even more magic to the evening.
Yuletide will be running at Tatton Park on selected dates from Saturday 16 November through to Monday 23 December, and tickets are on sale now – with adult tickets costing £20, children paying just £12 each, and free personal assistant passes are also available.
