Did you know there’s a citrus-filled treasure hunt with some top prizes currently happening across Manchester right now?
And believe us, there’s seriously Hoochy rewards up for grabs.
As part of the aptly-named ‘Zest Quest IRL’, which is currently underway and running right through until tomorrow (Saturday 20 January), the thirst-quenching drinks brand will be dotting three QR codes across all across Manchester city centre that are themed after its legendary flavours – Blue, Pink, and OG Lemon.
Hints are currently being dropped over on Hooch’s social media platforms over the next two days, so keep an eye out this weekend if you’re passing some of the city centre‘s most iconic spots, as there might be a boozy little surprise for you.
The winner of the must-have prize will be randomly-selected from those who scan all three codes.

Perfect for summer (or now, if you can’t wait until then), fans can fire up the party throughout the colder months with a hot tub filled with Hooch.
Yes, just visualise it – a Lazy-Z hot tub filled with the citrus good stuff.

Nothing’s more perfectly paired than sweet alcoholic lemonade and a chill in the tub, right? But while we’d probably recommend filling it with water and not Hooch if you do win the top prize, let’s be honest, you can do whatever you like.

As well as the hot tub prize, there’s also 20 cases of Hooch to be handed out, and £100 to be spent at one of three selected Manchester venues too.
The ‘Zest Quest IRL’ treasure hunt competition also comes as fans have until the start of February to play Hooch’s brand-new ‘Zest Quest’ – which is a mobile game that gives chances to win limited-edition Hooch merch.
So if you’re a Hooch fan who can’t make it to town this weekend, and fancy bagging custom t-shirts, hoodies, socks, and caps from the brand, you can grab them here.

Spooktacular Halloween trail to return to National Trust site Quarry Bank
Daisy Jackson
A Halloween trail is set to return to Quarry Bank Mill this autumn for one of the region’s most hauntingly beautiful seasonal events.
The National Trust site is a former working mill and one of the country’s finest industrial buildings – but as night falls and the shadows lengthen, a haunting will begin…
This year’s Halloween at Quarry Bank will again feature spooky light installations, a mesmerising laser garden, and a thrilling fire show, as well as live performances and seasonal food and drink.
Returning for a second year, Halloween at Quarry Bank will be an unforgettable experience for all ages.
Fog will swirl through the paths around the grounds, as glowing demon eyes watch over passers-by and giant skeletons loom over twisted trees.
If you’re brave enough, the trail then heads inside the mill itself, where creaking and clanking sounds of its industrial past hint at something a little more haunted.

As you wander the trail, you’ll pass installations like glowing fire spheres and catacombs echoing with whispers from the past, plus plenty more surprises waiting in the shadows.
Then you can refuel with ‘bewitched burgers and freaky fries’, plus hot toddys and decadent hot chocolates.
You can even toast a marshmallow over an open fire.
Halloween at Quarry Bank is designed for families, couples, and groups of friends alike, and attracts visitors from all over Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Merseyside and Lancashire.
Entry to the trail is on a timed slot system – tickets are on sale now HERE.
Inside the brand-new rental houses at Bolton’s landmark £35m development, Deansgate Gardens
Daisy Jackson
The first residents are in, and the launch of Deansgate Gardens – a landmark £35m development in Bolton town centre – is live.
This impressive new development has brought 167 high-quality rental homes to Bolton, creating a residential neighbourhood that features rooftop terraces, gardens, and stunning communal spaces.
The homes on Deansgate, Bolton have been built specifically for renters, with spacious layouts in an ideal location just a two-minute walk from Bolton Town Hall and a short commute to Manchester.
And, unusually for new rental developments, it’s not all about apartments here (though there are beautiful one- and two-bedroom apartments with rooftop gardens available).
It’s also somewhere you can rent two-bedroom townhouses, and have your very own yard.
Every home is built with energy efficiency in mind, with heat pumps and enhanced insulation, plus rooftop solar panels on selected homes, keeping those pesky bills down.
This pet-friendly development comes from developer Placefirst, and is a key moment in the wider £1bn regeneration masterplan for Bolton.

Deansgate Gardens is located just opposite the former Beales department store, connected by the train station, bus interchange, and town centre within walking distance.
These stylish new homes are built around a central square and communal courtyards. The result? Somewhere residents can relax, socialise, and connect.
There’s even a dedicated Resident Service Manager and 24/7 maintenance support for peace of mind.
And just a short walk away you’ll find parks like Queen’s Park, plus beautiful routes along the River Croal.
Ready to make these houses your home? Book in for a tour around Deansgate Gardens today HERE.
