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.

Manchester Open exhibition to return in 2026 with ‘biggest celebration’ of local creative talent
Emily Sergeant
The biggest celebration of Greater Manchester’s creative talent is making a much-anticipated return next summer.
Taking place every two years and now in its fourth iteration, Manchester Open exhibition sees the HOME Gallery walls filled with hundreds of artworks selected by a panel consisting of art experts and community representatives.
The exhibition is open to all and welcomes entries from people of any level of experience, including established professionals, students, graduates, new and emerging talent, enthusiastic amateurs, and even first-time artists.
Artists are invited to submit work into eight different categories, with the aim of creating an exhibition ‘rich in variety’ for visitors to explore.

This means you’ll get to explore works of ceramics, digital/moving images, drawings, prints, paintings, photography, sculptures/installations, and textiles.
Several awards will also be up for grabs throughout the exhibition – which is set to run from Saturday 20 June and Sunday 6 September 2026 – including a prestigious new award in honour of philanthropist and business leader, Kate Voke.
Three artists will also be awarded with artist development packages, managed by HOME and Castlefield Gallery.
“Following our 10 year anniversary in 2025, we are looking forward to 2026 and welcoming applications to HOME’s biggest celebration of Greater Manchester’s artistic talent,” explained Karen O’Neill, who is the CEO of HOME.
“With a record number of applications to the last Manchester Open, we’re hoping for even more in 2026 and to demonstrate how the city continues to grow as a place where artists and creativity can thrive.”
Manchester Open exhibition is taking place in 2026 from Saturday 20 June and Sunday 6 September, and the application and submission process is now live – with all submissions being reviewed by the selection panel who make the final selection of work to be included in the exhibition.
Artists will only be able to submit one artwork, and the selection panel members will be announced in spring 2026.

Sankeys shares sneak peek at new venue as legendary Manchester nightclub gears up for return
Daisy Jackson
Sankeys has given Mancs a glimpse inside its new venue as the legendary nightclub gears up for its return.
The club was one of Manchester’s top nightlife spots for years, before shutting down seemingly for good almost a decade ago.
Set within Beehive Mill in Ancoats, Sankeys was a true icon of Manchester’s global nightlife scene.
And while the old Sankeys Soap nightlife space is now full of co-working spaces, the spirit of Sankeys is about to be reborn.
The exact location of the new club is still being kept under wraps ahead of its reopening at the end of January, but new renderings have been released to give us a glimpse of how it will look.
Sankeys is promising ‘A reimagined space. New energy. Same legendary nights’.
The new Sankeys Manchester will be a 500-capacity venue, designed to ‘capture the raw underground energy that made Sankeys one of the most iconic club brands in the world’.
It will feature an LED matrix grid installation that will immerse clubbers in ‘light, sound and atmosphere’.
Sankeys Manchester officially opens on 30 January – you can see a glimpse of how it will look below and grab tickets HERE.
