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.

A £1m health optimisation hub with breakthrough ‘brain health technology’ is opening in Manchester

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson Projevenate is now open in Manchester

A brand-new £1m health optimisation clinic is set to open near Manchester Airport this month, with a North West-first breakthrough ‘brain health technology’ offering.

Projuvenate will be a flagship 3350 sq ft medically-led clinic, with ExoMind™, offering non-invasive treatment for mental wellness. 

The space will be bringing cutting-edge treatments to Greater Manchester that are normally associated with high-end private wellness clinics in London. 

Projuvenate promises three key wellness pillars – health optimisation, physiotherapy, and aesthetic wellness. 

Part of its health optimisation pillar will be ExoMind, a breakthrough treatment that uses targeted electromagnetic stimulation to deliver precise pulses to key areas of the brain linked to emotional regulation, focus, and motivation.

Early trials of this FDA-approved treatment show 88% of patients report improved mental wellness, with 78% experiencing better mood, sleep, and emotional regulation. 

Other health optimisation treatments include HaloRed™ salt and red light therapy, longevity treatments, and intimate health solutions such as electromagnetic pelvic floor training.

There’ll also be elite physiotherapy as part of Projuvenate’s offering, with rehabilitation and injury prevention from experts in elite sport. 

Advanced equipment patients will be able to access includes the R-Force™ anti-gravity treadmill, targeted cryotherapy, and more.

And the final pillar, aesthetic wellness, offers non-invasive treatments to enhance appearance, strength and confidence, from skin and face therapies to injectables, body sculpting, and hair vitality.

Projuvenate is founded by Dr Libby Artingstall, a former consultant psychiatrist, and her brother Rob Artingstall, an experienced performance physiotherapist and Head Physio with England Rugby League.

They hope to bridge the gap between healthcare, rehabilitation, and proactive wellbeing.

Dr Libby Artingstall said: “Throughout medical school and much of my career as a doctor, the focus was on what happens when the body or mind goes wrong. But I became increasingly compelled by the question: how do we help people stay well, not just now, but long into the future? That’s what led to Projuvenate.

“Wellness isn’t one-dimensional. At Projuvenate we bring together advanced aesthetic wellness, expert physiotherapy, and science-backed health optimisation to support the skin, body and mind in a fully integrated, medically led environment. ExoMind™ is the perfect example of this philosophy—giving people an evidence-based way to support clarity, focus, and emotional strength.”

She added: “This opening marks a new era for health in the North West. People no longer need to travel to London for these preventative therapies. We’re proud to be putting Manchester on the map for clinical excellence and proactive care that supports every dimension of wellbeing.”

A medical consultation is £75, redeemable against treatment within three months, is required before starting any treatment or programme.

Treatments start from £45 for HaloRed™ therapy, and a six-session ExoMind™ package is priced at £2,200.

Projuvenate will open on 18 September at Manchester Green.
