Manchester’s biggest student shopping event returns with huge discounts this week
It’s the start of the new academic year, and Manchester’s biggest student shopping event returns to the city centre this week.
After a year off in 2020, MCR Student Social is back and bigger than ever, bringing a whole host of discounts across four days so that both new and returning students can make the most of unmissable offers in the Arndale, and at stores throughout the city centre from Thursday 30 September – Sunday 3 October.
Over 120 designer, high street, and independent stores will be giving up to 50% off.
Levi’s, Barbour, Ann Summers, Dr Martens, Tommy Hilfiger, Urban Outfitters, Adidas, Michael Kors, Pandora, Game, Lindt, and New Look are just some of the big names offering a range discounts over the four days.
Not only that, but there’s also big discounts on food and drink in a range of chain restaurants including 50% off at Wolf Italian Street Food, 33% off at Pizza Hut, and 30% off at Bella Italia.
There’s also 20% off at Archie’s, Auntie Anne’s, and Bagel Factory.
