Popular streaming service Netflix has just released its full film roster for the year and it could not have come at a more perfect time.
In case you weren’t aware, we’re currently in the middle of a global pandemic – and firmly within our third national lockdown here in England – so it’s safe to say that we’ve all become rather well-acquainted with what’s on television over this past year, and that interested isn’t likely to be fading any time soon.
The only worry we have now is how long will be be before they run out of new films and programmes to air?
Luckily, Netflix has come through to save us this week with its full roster of films, and judging by some of the titles in the line-up, there’s a lot to get our teeth stuck into.
The Netflix movies will span across all genres, so there’ll be something for everyone.

Many of the have big names at the helm too, with some of the stars making appearances including Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Halle Berry, Melissa McCarthy, Jason Momoa, Ryan Reynolds, Chris Hemsworth and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
One of the stand-out flicks on the list everyone’s talking about is the celeb-packed political satire disaster film Don’t Look Up – directed by acclaimed director Adam McKay – starring big names such as Jennifer Lawrence, Leonardo DiCaprio, Timothée Chalamet, Kid Cudi, Ariana Grande, Meryl Streep, and more.

And if all of that wasn’t enough to give us something to looking forward to, Netflix has even taken it one step further by promising to release a new film every week of 2021, with 71 titles already released and more set to be announced in due course.
2021 may have been off to a rocky start, but it’s already looking up.
So, what else can we start looking forward to then?

Manchester crowned UK’s best-value stag do destination for 2026
Emily Sergeant
Prague, Amsterdam, Benidorm, and now… Manchester?
Jetting off to some of Europe’s cheapest capital cities for a boozy night out with your mates before tying the knot is pretty common-place in the world of stag do culture nowadays.
But some new research has now revealed the UK cities that deliver a legendary last hurrah without the price tag, or the need to hop on a plane.
Chillisauce, the UK’s leading hen and stag organiser, has analysed 81,000+ recent group bookings alongside survey feedback from 4,738 stag groups, cross-referenced against live 2026 travel fares, accommodation, and pint prices.
To devise its top 10 list, real price data has been blended with verified group satisfaction to guarantee stags and their pals the best experience.
With the pull of a major city with music, sport, food, and nightlife without London prices, Manchester was crowned the best-value city for a stag do in 2026 overall.

The average pint runs a little higher in Manchester than the smaller cities on the list, but groups rated the sheer scale and quality of the night out well above the cost, calling it ‘much more affordable than the South of England’ and ‘cheaper than London’.
For a weekend in Manchester, research found that the average cost per person includes £86.36 for accommodation, £36.66 for an activity, £25.08 for a drinks package, £29.35 for a meal, and the average pint coming in at £6.
“We send thousands of groups to Prague, Amsterdam, and Benidorm every year,” said Robyn Davis, Head of Stag and Hen at Chillisauce,”but Manchester keeps delivering nights out that groups tell us beat their expectations.
“There are also those only-in-Manchester touches too, like catching a match at Old Trafford or the Etihad on the same trip.
“Groups describe the locals as up for a laugh and the whole city as ‘built for a stag weekend,’ with a huge number of them already planning to go back, which is the real test of a great destination.”
Other northern destinations on the top 10 list include Newcastle, Leeds, and Liverpool.
Manchester furniture outlet LOFT is hosting a major closing-down sale with up to 70% off

Manchester furniture outlet LOFT is hosting a major closing-down sale with up to 70% off.
Okay, so it’s not technically closing down per se, but the current LOFT premises off Hyde Road near Piccadilly will officially close doors on 30 September, as the business consolidates its operations and relocates to its newly completed headquarters over at Trafford Park.
Unlike a typical closing-down sale, the stock isn’t old or unwanted. Instead, it’s a live snapshot of LOFT’s day-to-day business, and everything must go.
LOFT is known for furnishing properties across the build-to-rent, student accommodation, co-living, private rented, and social housing sectors, and that constant turnover naturally generates surplus – whether it be project overstock, end-of-line pieces or discontinued items making way for new collections.
The move over to Trafford Park is said to be a moment to clear the warehouse ‘completely’ and start the new chapter with a clean slate.

This means that everything, from sofas and beds, to dining sets, armchairs, and home accessories, must go before the move, with prices already reduced by 50 to 70% below RRP.
Benjamin Hall, who is the Founder and CEO of LOFT, says this is the ‘biggest and best value’ sale the company has ever offered.
He explained: “As we settle into our new home at Trafford Park, we want a completely clean slate. Whether you’re a homeowner after a one-off bargain, or a landlord, agent or developer furnishing multiple units on a budget, there has never been a better time to visit.”
