Greggs and Primark are back yet again with another fashion collection after the brands’ first collaboration proved to be a smash-hit.
The budget fashion retailer and bakery chain are two of the best-loved brands in the UK, so it came as no surprise that news of them joining forces for a branded fashion collection full of trainers, t-shirts, socks, hoodies, boxers, and more would have gone down so well with fans when it hit shop shelves back in February.
But it turned out to be much more popular than most people expected.
Some of the products from the limited-edition “freshly-baked collab” not only sold out pretty much straight away, but shoppers even found items from the range to be listed on eBay for up to three times the original price.
Given the popularity of the first collection, it makes sense that the two brands would team up once again, and it’s now been announced today that a new 21-piece collection is set to drop in all Primark stores nationwide from Friday 5 August.
This time round, the highly-anticipated collection will include bodysuits, bumbags, bucket hats, and even Croc dupe sling-back clogs.
If next Friday is just too long to wait though, keen fashion fans will able to get their hands on some of the items from the collection ahead of the official launch date, as a Greggs x Primark ‘Snackfest’ bus travels the UK this week and next.
The bus will be stopping-off at five major cities, with it parking up in Cathedral Gardens right here in Manchester city centre this Friday 29 July from 11am-5pm.

Not only is the Snackfest bus bringing items from the collection, but it will also have live music, competitions, and even some special guest appearances too, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled, as the brands seem to be keeping their cards close to their chest.

Speaking ahead of the launch of the collection, Hannah Squirrell – Customer Director at Greggs – said: “The reaction to our first official Greggs clothing collection was incredible and sold out even faster than we anticipated.
“We’re excited to team up with Primark once again to deliver more fun and unique pieces that Greggs fans will wear with pride across the summer and beyond.”
“I believe the best partnerships in fashion are those that are blindingly obvious but never boring or predictable,” added Jermaine Lapwood – Head of Innovation and Future Trends at Primark.
“In a world of collaborations, it is important that we stand out and be different.
“As part of this drop, for the first time in Primark history we are taking the collection on the road and fans will be able to get early access to our own ‘Snackfest’ tour bus, which will pop up across the UK.”

For fans of the hit sports-based TV show on Sky, this will be the first time ever that the A League Of Their Own (ALOTO) cast will be presenting, performing and cracking plenty of jokes in front of a proper live audience.

A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN LIVE TOUR

In addition to famous former sports personalities like Manchester United defender Patrice Evra and ex-boxer Tony Bellew, they will also be joined by comedians Tom Davies and Maisie Adam.
Massive football fans themselves, who have both been part of the ALOTO cast in the past, it’s a funny lineup, for sure.
While the main presenter, Romesh Ranganathan, has not been confirmed as part of the touring crew, it’s worth noting that the lineup could change closer to the time. We wouldn’t be surprised if they have some special guests up their sleeves for one or two of the shows, either…

John Stones is leaving Manchester City after a decade
Danny Jones
Manchester City defender John Stones has revealed he will be leaving after nearly a full decade in sky blue at the end of the season.
The England and Man City defender has lifted pretty much everything there is to win at club level, being part of the ‘Centurions’, Treble-winning and four-in-a-row sides.
John Stones signed for City back in August of 2016 and has gone on to be part of their greatest-ever period of success under Pep Guardiola, not to mention becoming a mainstay in the national team during that time.
Sharing a moving video on social media, announced the decision that will see him depart after the best part of 10 years this summer.
Having made nearly 300 appearances for the Cityzens, he will leave the Etihad as one of their most decorated players, with a tally of 19 major trophies, the same number of goals and nine assists during his time with the club.
That being said, depending on how the remainder of this 2025/26 campaign goes, all of those stats could improve even further.
Writing in an official statement of their own, Man City went on to say: “Armed with wonderful technique, a sublime passing range allied to a superb work rate and astute reading of the game, Stones was in many ways the very embodiment of Pep Guardiola’s City.
“Such was his natural talent and tactical flexibility that Stones’ City career later saw him often deployed in a hybrid role, which saw him move into the middle of the City engine room to great effect, not least in the 2023 UEFA Champions League final…”
He is now set to leave as a free agent this June.
John Stones will leave Manchester City in the summer, bringing an end to a memorable and hugely successful ten-year stay.
They sign off by adding that “the Club and all of our supporters will take the time to deliver a fitting tribute and farewell to a superb servant of Manchester City Football Club at the end of the season.”
Following rumours of his departure in recent weeks and months, a number of clubs across Europe are already thought to have expressed interest in a transfer for the 31-year-old.
Some of the names floating around the Yorkshire-born centre-back’s signature include AC Milan and Bayern Munich; there have even been some hints at Everton attempting to re-sign him.
Where does he rank among your favourite City stars of all-time, Blues?
