Electric Shuffle, the newest and only dedicated shuffleboard bar in Manchester, is giving away hundreds of prizes to people in the city centre this week – including bottomless brunch bundles, free games and much more.
Wait until you hear the big prize that’s up for grabs…
Officially launching to the public in Manchester city centre this Friday, this is Electric Shuffle’s first location in 0161 and just the second in the North, but it’s already made a name for itself down in London and over in the US.
Its arrival in town was first announced back in March but the brand has now revealed that they’re celebrating the grand opening with these exciting giveaways, and you still have time to get your hands on them.

After quietly handing out the first round of prizes today (Wednesday, 19 June), Electric Shuffle has confirmed that the team will be once again gifting prizes tomorrow (20 June), hoping to surprise even more Mancs with a freebie.
To win, all you fine people need to do is simply keep your eyes out for them, as members of the newest venue will be posted along Deansgate, Market Street and Piccadilly Gardens.
Prizes on offer include bottomless brunch tickets, shuffleboard sampler vouchers, bottles of Prosecco and even a whopping £500 bar tab for one very lucky winner.
We’re so ready to spend all of Thursday pacing up and down the streets of Manchester.
While there are other places to play the popular bar activity in the area, Electric Shuffle is the only purpose-built shuffleboard place in Manchester and they’ve gained a glowing reputation at their various other locations. Trust us, we heard it straight from our friends over at The Hoot.
Delivering the most high-tech take on the social game you’ll find on the market, plus some great offerings when it comes to food, drink and entertainment, it’s looking like it’s going to be one of the best games and activity bars in Manchester.
In fact, given the fact that it’s the sister brand of the ever-popular Flight Club darts bar franchise, we’re already pretty confident it will be.

A new free photography exhibition showing never-before-seen pictures of Oasis fans from the 90s opens in Manchester next week.
With a sensational summer of sound now firmly in our sights, and right as Manchester gears up to welcome Oasis back home once again, the city’s iconic Kimpton Clocktower Hotel has announced a new free exhibition that’s set to take music fans a trip down memory lane.
Opening next Wednesday, Oasis Fans – 1994-1997 will showcase a series of exclusive photographs by renowned photographer, Jon Shard, to the public for the first time ever, opening the door to a world before online sales, dynamic ticket pricing, and frantically refreshing a website to get the hottest ticket in town.
Renowned for his visually distinctive work across a number of fields, this was Shard’s first assignment for iconic music magazine NME.
The collection of photographs – which has been co-curated by the British Culture Archive – shows scenes of fans excitedly queuing up in the cold winter of 1996, hoping to get their hands on tickets for the band’s sold-out shows at Manchester City’s Maine Road stadium.
“Queuing in person had its charm,” admitted Jon Shard.
“I felt privileged to capture the dedication of fans willing to stay out all night and brave the cold. Getting the ticket was an event itself, almost a rite of passage for fans.”

Giving visitors a deeper insight into the world of sold-out shows, as well as the magic of Oasis and their music over the years, the new exhibition will also feature a ‘Fan Wonderwall’ with archive images from 1994-97 of fans attending gigs, spanning from pre-smart phone gig-videos, through to their latest performances.
“It’s a privilege to play a part in the city welcoming the Gallagher brothers home,” commented David Lockhart, who is the General Manager of Kimpton Clocktower Hotel, ahead of the exhibition opening next week.
“The photographs by Jon Shard offer a glimpse into a defining moment in Manchester’s music history, and we’re proud to share this with our guests and the city.”
Oasis Fans – 1994-1997 is open to the public from 7pm on Wednesday 2 July on the walls of Refuge at Kimpton Clocktower Hotel.
At to make it even more worth the trip, the first 50 visitors to the exhibition will also receive a free limited edition zine, so they can take a piece of Oasis history home with them.
