A whole host of popular Marvel films are being screened at a hidden cinema in Manchester city centre this weekend.
If you’d consider yourself to be a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and all things superhero, then you’ll probably want to get yourself down to one of Manchester’s most popular hotels, King Street Townhouse, this weekend as the venue’s very-own exclusive cinema will be screening eight films from the iconic franchise.
The Marvel Movie Weekender will be taking over from Friday 24 – Sunday 26 June.
King Street Townhouse’s vintage-style cinema isn’t always one that everyone’s familiar with, as it’s tucked away in the hotel’s cellars and seats only a handful of people at a time for the ultimate viewing experience, but it’s well worth a visit and this weekend couldn’t be a more ideal time.
The award-winning hotel is inviting fans to “assemble your Avengers” for a Marvel movie weekend, which is kicking off with screenings of all three films in the Iron Man series starring Robert Downey Jr as the title role on Friday 24 June.

Saturday will see two stand-alone Marvel classics screened, starting out with the groundbreaking 2018 smash-hit that is Black Panther, starring the late Chadwick Boseman as the title character.
The final film in the Avengers franchise and the second highest-grossing film of all time, Avengers: Endgame, will then round out the Saturday lineup.

Bringing the weekend to a fitting close, all three films in the original Spider-Man trilogy, with Tobey Maguire donning the spidey suit, will then be screened on Sunday for “a dash of Spider-Verse chaos”.
Tickets to the Marvel Movie Weekender start from £15 per person for just the film, and are available to book on the King Street Townhouse website here.
If you want to upgrade this to include a cocktail, popcorn, and pick ‘n’ mix package, then it’ll be £30 per person instead, and for those wanting a mini-Marvel Marathon, then you can either watch the whole Iron Man or Spider-Man trilogy for £50 per person.

Marvel not really your thing? Don’t worry, there’s plenty of other cinema packages at King Street Townhouse too, including the ‘Movie Night In’ package – which gives you exclusive use of the whole private cinema to yourselves, and your party can pick any movie, documentary or sporting event to watch.
The ‘Reunion Cinema Package’ is also another popular one, which gives you and your friends and family private use of the cinema, the choice of what to watch, and also the option to add on a three-course dinner with wine at the King Street Townhouse Wine Cellar.
Other packages available to book include the ‘Cocktail Cinema Package’, the ‘Cinema Brunch Experience’, and the ‘Cinema Afternoon Tea’.
You can find more information and get booking on the King Street Townhouse website here.

Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet will be giving back to its local charity partners, including The Hospice of The Good Shepherd, Koala, Flynns Port in the Storm and Claire House amongst others, as well as its staff and their families, with exclusive golden circle access for the best seats in the house.
The anniversary gig is part of the shopping village’s ongoing celebration of its three-decade-long history.
Earlier this year, Cheshire Oaks unveiled its 2025 Style Report, revealing that 63% of Brits now prefer shopping in person rather than online, as well as the resurgence of nostalgic fashion trends from the 90s, from baggy trousers to full denim looks.
It’s the UK’s largest designer outlet, with more than 400,000 sq ft of retail space and more than 165 brands.
Kenny Murray, general manager at Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet, said: “This anniversary is a moment to celebrate the rich history and vibrant future of Cheshire Oaks. We have evolved continuously over the last three decades, and now it’s time to celebrate in true style.
“Over our 30 years we’ve built a real sense of community that makes this centre special and we want to celebrate this milestone with the local area and people so close to our heart.
“This summer’s music event, crowned by a secret headline act, promises to be a truly special experience, and a way that we can give back to the loyal customers who have trusted us to bring them the latest fashion trends since the 90s, we can’t wait to enjoy it with them.”
