Primark‘s brand-new click and collect service has launched inside its Manchester city centre store, and it’s set to make life a lot easier for shoppers.
It’s been a long time coming, but after the fashion retail giant confirmed back in June 2022 that it would be launching a long-awaited shopping service that allows people to order items online and then collect them in stores throughout the North West, Yorkshire, and North Wales the highly-anticipated trial has finally arrived here in Manchester today.
Currently being trialled in 25 stores, the new click and collect service allows customers to shop online from an extensive range of products, and then collect those products in their nominated store on their chosen day.
But how exactly does it work? What can be ordered through the service? And where do I find the service here in Manchester?
Here’s everything you need to know.

How does Primark’s new click and collect service work?
Primark’s new click and collect service is now live, and the retailer says it offers customers “more choice and greater convenience”.
After browsing online and adding items to a virtual shopping basket, customers can then choose a day to collect, up to seven days ahead, from their chosen store.

Orders will be available for collection from two days after they have been placed with a £15 minimum order value and no delivery charge, and customers will be able to collect their order from a dedicated ‘Click + Collect’ desk.
You can also pay for any other items you’ve picked up in store at the desk too.
What can I order?
The trial brings together an extensive range of Primark kids’ products, with customers able to shop from up to 2,000 items across baby, kids, and decorative nursery products and toys – with hundreds of new items and ranges exclusive to the service.

Some of the exclusives include multipacks of bestselling products, as well as new items from Disney and larger nursery decor and toys.
As well as the exclusive ranges, customers of the smaller stores in the trial will also benefit from access to ranges that are normally only found in larger flagship stores, and this means that, on average, customers will have access to twice as many options than they’re usually used to.

Where do I find the new service here in Manchester?
The all-new click and collect service has been set up inside the Manchester city centre store, so we nipped down this morning to check it out for ourselves.
Best accessed from the entrance just off Piccadilly Gardens, rather than the main Market Street entrance, signs advertising the launch of the new click and collect service can be seen as soon as you walk through the door, before heading down the escalator to the lower ground floor where you’ll see the service.
With the bright lime green click and collect branding all lit up and guiding the way, you can’t miss it.
It’s right next to the Primark coffee shop too, so once you’ve collected your items and, most likely, spent a bit of time browsing all the other floors of the massive store, you can grab yourself a nice warm drink to take away with you as well.

Sportsbet.io Tour Championship 2026: Manchester welcomes some of snooker’s best
Danny Jones
This Monday marks the start of the World Snooker Tour’s 2026 Sportsbet.io Tour Championship, which is back in Manchester once again– and there are some big names on show.
Returning to our city for a third consecutive time, this year’s Tour Championships began at 1pm, with the likes of world number one Judd Trump playing some of the opening frames against Northern Ireland’s Mark Allen, along with Barry Hawkins taking on 2026 World Open winner, Thepchaiya Un-Nooh.
These are just the first two opening fixtures in what is set to be an eventful week-long tournament that will span a total of 19 matches, concluding in the final on Sunday, 5 April.
Hosted once again over at Manchester Central, this elite field of in-form players is basically only missing Ronnie O’Sullivan, who the aforementioned Thai tour start beat in last week’s final.
Only the top 12 players from this season’s highly competitive rankings earned a place in the draw, so all pretty much all the greats and the next generation are shooting for the title.
Defending champions John Higgins – a four-time world champion – will be breaking off against Mark Williams on Tuesday, 31 March.
Meanwhile, other names on the schedule of play include World Champion Zhao Xintong, Mark Selby (who Higgins beat in Manchester last year), Shaun Murphy, Neil Robertson and Mark Allen.
Put simply, this isn’t just another big sporting event landing in our city centre, but a showcase of some of the very best talent in the discipline.
With tickets starting from just £25, these games are also some of the most affordable premium sports you can enjoy in central Manchester.
Better still, it’s also worth noting that the official Fanzone over in the foyer of the venue is open to all, even without a ticket.
There’s completely free coaching for players of all ages, interactive games, and even the chance to try a proper full-sized professional table – a perfect day out for the Easter school holidays.
The event itself is being aired on Channel 5, but if you’re interested in going along to see the action up close and personal, you can grab your seats right HERE.

The Oldham Man and The Sea: the documentary about the Latics owner’s record-breaking Atlantic voyage
Danny Jones
It doesn’t matter if you’re not an Athletic fan or native to the borough; we think everyone should go along to watch the much-anticipated documentary about football club owner Frank Rothwell and his record-breaking journey across the Atlantic Ocean: The Oldham Man And The Sea.
One of the simplest and most satisfying names for a film we’ve heard in a long time.
For anyone who doesn’t know about the Oldham Athletic FC chairman turned OBE’s incredible story, Frank Rothwell has set multiple records with his impressive sea-faring feats in recent times.
This new doc, which just premiered at this year’s Manchester Film Festival, charts his latest trip across one of the biggest bodies of water on the planet in March 2024.
As you can see from the recent trailer, it’s almost as arduous a tale as the original Hemingway story.
This movie – produced by Journeyman Pictures and Chief Productions – made its full debut at the Odeon in Great Northern Warehouse for MFF 2026, and is set to have a number of other screenings in and around Greater Manchester in the coming weeks and months.
One of those is happening rather soon, in fact, over at Saddleworth’s Millgate Arts Centre on Saturday, 28 March, which is ideal for those local to the region; grab your tickets now.
ln fact, there’s also one happening even closer to his hometown the following month, with Oldham’s very own Queen Elizabeth Hall also hosting a special screening of Rothwell’s incredible achievement.
You can reserve your seats for that one right HERE.
Having not only become the eldest (70) Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge finisher back in 2021, but now holding the Guinness World Record for the oldest person to ever complete the crossing while rowing solo at 73 years old, he’s become nothing short of a local hero – and that’s just his stewardship of the Latics…
The film does, obviously, touch on his time at the helm of the League Two side, who finally returned to the EFL last June, but the heart and soul of this inspiring watch is the sail itself.
More importantly, it also documents not just the gruelling nature of the 64-day, seven-hour and 53-minute trek, but also how Frank has now helped raise more than £1.4 million on behalf of Alzheimer’s Research UK.
What an absolute icon.
Hopefully, this should be just about all the reason you need to watch The Oldham Man And The Sea the very next opportunity you get to do so – and, of course, all proceeds from ticket sales will also be going to charity, because just the kind of bloke he is.
And here’s hoping we get a streaming version sometime soon.
