With spring officially here, and much of the UK set to bask in sunshine this week, Asda is selling the ideal accessory for dog owners.
We’ve already been enjoying some cracking weather in Greater Manchester over the past weekend, but now that forecasters at the Met Office have said for us to expect “plenty of sunny spells” this week, and temperature highs of 18°C are predicted on Tuesday and Wednesday, it’s made us all realise that we need to start properly prepping for the summer.
Pets always need special consideration when the heat starts to creep in, which is why for those with a four-legged friend in their lives, supermarket chain Asda is selling an outdoor gazebo dog bed that comes complete with its own cover for less than £30.
The Grey Dog Bed Gazebo is said to be the “perfect place for your pooch”.
A description for the bed – which comes flat packed for home assembly, and can be dismantled for easy storage – on the Asda website reads: “This dog bed gazebo from George Home is designed in modern grey with a mesh panel base for ventilation, and it offers a stylish way to keep your furry friend cool in the sun.”

The best bit? It’ll only set you back £29.

The reviews of the gazebo bed by those who have managed to get their hands on it already appear to be really positive too, with plenty of happy dog owners branding it as “amazing” and “a great price”.
One person wrote on the Asda website: “Stunning bed for my dog she uses it in the garden and in the house, looks great, very sturdy, easy to put together, and a great price.””
Another customer noted how the gazebo is ideal for indoor use during the colder months too, writing: “I read the reviews before ordering and this bed is superb, and great value for money for the size it is.

“The dog is sleeping on it inside for now until the weather improves.”
The Grey Dog Bed Gazebo is available both in selected Asda stores UK-wide, and on the Asda website here.

First-ever JD Wetherspoon pub to open at Manchester Airport
Danny Jones
In news that we feel many Mancs and travellers all-round have been waiting on for a long time, the well-known British chain, JD Wetherspoon, will be opening its first-ever pub at Manchester Airport.
That’s right: soon that first airport pint of the holiday could actually be a relatively cheap one.
While Wetherspoons are no strangers to popping up in terminals across the UK and Ireland, they’ve never done so here in Manchester despite having three, yes THREE, in Gatwick alone.
Not for much longer, though, as soon T2 will be lending more than 3,000 square feet of its prime leisure and retail real estate to a new Greater Manchester ‘Spoons’.
Posting on social media, the airport wrote: “Wetherspoon comes to Manchester Airport this September! The pub will be located in the Terminal 2 Departures lounge and will have more than 300 seats.
“This will become the final major food and drink venue to open its doors as part of our decade-long £1.3bn transformation of Terminal 2. It will be named ‘The Belle Vue’, in a nod to Manchester’s historic showground [now a sports complex and leisure hub].
“It was a focal point for social life in the city from the Victorian period up until 2020, when the final event was held at Belle Vue stadium. The design of the pub is inspired by the history of Belle Vue and the sporting culture of the North West of England. We look forward to welcoming you all in September!”
While a lot of money has been pumped into T2’s refurb as a whole over the past few years, it remains unclear just how much this particular new addition will cost; we do know that great sums were set aside for the launch of the Great Northern Market last year.
The inaugural Manchester Airport Spoons is just the latest in a series of major renovations.
As mentioned, the company already operate several up and down the country – 10 airport pubs, to be specific – but this will be the first in the North West.
Speaking on the news, JD Wetherspoon chief executive John Hutson said in a statement: “We are looking forward to opening at Manchester Airport. We believe our new pub will prove popular with travellers of all ages and be an asset to the new terminal.”
With Manchester Airport adding a dozen new routes to its roster this summer, you can expect to see even more people flying in and out than ever – no doubt having already polished off a cut-price pint or two beforehand.
