You can officially “spice up your life” once again next month, as Spice Girls-themed karaoke bottomless brunches are returning to Manchester city centre.
They were the sell-out successes of last year, as people got together to sing their hearts out and celebrate being reunited after the COVID-19 pandemic kept us all apart for so long, and now, The Liquor & Brunch Squad is bringing its Karaoke Brunch series back to Manchester for 2022, with the first event only a few weeks away.
This exclusive Spice Girls-themed brunch is perfect for any 90s pop music fan who fancies singing along to the iconic girl band’s greatest hits, all while sipping on a cocktail.
It’ll be coming to a secret city centre location, that’s soon-to-be-announced.

While the “singing sessions” and the “bottomless beverages of dreams” are sure to be the main event throughout the 90-minutes, according to the event description, you’re also encouraged to come dressed for the part to be in with a chance of bagging yourself some exciting prizes in the costume competition.

There’ll also be a ‘Quiz of all Quizzes’ on all-things Spice Girls too, with plenty of prizes up for grabs throughout the event.
Along with an inclusive menu of grilled brunches, avocado toast, and pancakes – with options available for vegetarians, vegans and those following a gluten-free diet – this is also a bottomless brunch.

This means you can sip on a tipple or two, from Aperol Spritz and Prosecco, to Bloody Marys, a range of beers and so much more, all while you sing-along to your heart’s content.

Alternatively, you can skip the booze and just stick to the brunch by itself if you wish.
Strawberry lemonade, cucumber and apple coolers, tropical fizz, standard soft drinks, and a range of 0% alcohol options are just some of the drinks on offer in the ‘Non Alcoholic’ bottomless brunch.

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.

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.

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.
