This interactive shopping event encourages new and current students to wander round Manchester Arndale and the surrounding streets while snapping up some seriously good deals.
Expect discounts of up to 50% off at 120 stores including big high street retailers like Champion, Søstrene Grene, Selfridges, Sephora, and Berghaus.
This incredible 50% off deal continues into some of Manchester Arndale’s big-name food vendors like Wingstop, Archie’s, Barburrito, Sides, HOP Vietnamese and more.

If you’re after carrying that Zara Larsson energy into your next academic year, the Arndale’s Rhinestone Rodeo celebration includes a Charm Bar in Exchange Court, where you can turn photos into personalised charms.
No shopping trip is complete without a matcha in-hand and you can bag yourself a free hot or iced drink in Exchange Court at the Cult Beauty Matcha Station.

There’s even the Arndale’s Party Tuk Tuk which will be roaming around the city-centre shopping complex blasting out hip-hop tunes and some of your song requests.
Just outside Manchester Arndale on Market Street, there’s plenty of activities split across three dedicated zones, like Food & Drink by familiar foodie faces like Franco Manca and Great British Doner.
The Party Zone will be buzzing as Footasylum, Museum of Illusions and Urban Playground all unite, while there’s plenty of giveaways over at the Info Zone with brands like Science + Industry Museum and RSPB.
And, our very own Audio North x The Manc DJ Truck is soundtracking Market Street with student DJs playing out everything from dance and funk to classic party anthems.
MCR Student Social is taking place on Thursday 24 September at Manchester Arndale from 12pm to 7pm and you can find more information via its official website HERE.

An affordable club night with £4 doubles is coming to an iconic Manchester nightlife venue
Thomas Melia
One of Manchester’s most-famed nightlife venues is preparing to host an all-new affordable student club night every single week.
Manchester is already a clubbing haven, but now it’s about to receive a fresh face courtesy of events company Oops!
The club night has already seen massive success just over the Pennines hosting a weekly event in Leeds’ student hotspot Headingley every Saturday.
This time, Oops! has chosen none other than one of Manchester’s most iconic nightlife venues, Joshua Brooks, to host its affordable weekly night out.
Clubgoers can expect £4 double and mixer drinks as well as £2 shots and not one, but three rooms of music setting totally different vibes.
The basement is raver-ready with disco-tech and house to soundtrack your evening, the middle room has R&B and slow jams covered, while the top floor takes care of ‘Everything you pretend not to like’.
Oops! also runs in further Northern cities and receives a great reception, hosting nights every Friday in Newcastle and a previous stint in Liverpool too.
This club night company couldn’t contain their excitement revealing in a social media post: “Joshua Brooks is second to none when it comes to sound, production and its deep rooted history in the scene.
“Now, with thousands of pounds’ worth of new lighting installed throughout the venue, we’re ready to show you exactly what we’ve been working on.”
And the company prides themselves on its welcoming atmosphere with the website stating: “No VIP Packages. No ego. No unnecessary nonsense.”
Ticket prices start from £3 and stagger in £1 increments with final tickets capped at £6 – when they said affordable, they really meant it.
Oops! is running every Tuesday from 22 September over at Manchester clubbing institution Joshua Brooks and you can find tickets and more info HERE.
