An all-singing, all-dancing cinema flowing with cocktails, beers and popcorn is opening in Manchester on Sunday.
The Bottomless Singing Cinema is moving into Revolution on Oxford Road on August 15 for a full day of classic musical flicks – with guests encouraged to dress up and singalong as they tuck into all the drinks and snacks they can manage.
Here’s what you can see at the Bottomless Singing Cinema this weekend.
Mamma Mia! will be showing at the Singing Cinema
Mamma Mia – 11am entry
Nothing screams singalong more than Mamma Mia!
This brazenly cheesy star-studded flick is packed with Abba songs from start to finish – with the jukebox musical comedy written around the group’s smash-hits including ‘Gimme Gimme Gimme’, ‘Honey Honey’ and ‘Dancing Queen’, as well as the titular track.
The Greatest Showman broke box-office records to become the fifth-highest-grossing live action musical of all time after being released in 2017 – boasting a Grammy Award-winning soundtrack that shot to the top of the UK charts and stayed there for 11 consecutive weeks.
It’s fondly remembered as one of the most fun musicals of modern times – and it’ll be beamed up on the big screen in Manchester on Sunday afternoon.
All T-Birds and Pink Ladies are welcome at Revs on Sunday afternoon – as audiences are invited to singalong with Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsson in the classic American high school musical set in the 1950s.
Guests are encouraged to bring their leather jackets and Rydell kit – with Grease kicking off from 4.30pm.
Originally released in 1975, Rocky Horror has earned a reputation as the quintessential ‘midnight movie’ – the kind of film during which viewers would break the code of conduct, shout back at the screen and singalong.
At the Bottomless Singing Cinema on Sunday, you’ll be able to do just that – with Rocky Horror playing from 7.30pm.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show will be screening on Sunday evening
Every event at the Singing Cinema comes with bottomless booze – so you might want to think about trying to wangle Monday off work if you can.
Drinks included in the offer are:
Aperol Spritz
Ketel V&T
Blank Canvas
Amstel
Prosecco
Bloody Mary
Remember, there’s also Heineken 0.0% and selected soft drinks available in the bottomless deal, too, if you wanted to take it easy.
If you don’t fancy going all out on drinks at all, simply stick to the bottomless popcorn option, kick back and watch the movies with a bit of a sing-song.
The Bottomless Singing Cinema is taking place in Manchester on Sunday 15 August 2021.
Tickets are available from £25 per head – and you can grab yours here.

Manchester Originals narrowly miss out on opening day victory after last-gasp comeback
Danny Jones
Manchester Originals’ men’s team just missed out on taking the victory in their opening game of The Hundred 2025 after an impressive comeback in the eleventh hour by Southern Brave.
The away team from Southampton managed to just about surpass the Originals’ 131-4 tally at Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester, with starring performances from Tymal Mills and Craig Overton seeing the southerners best the home team by just one wicket.
Nevertheless, it was a thrilling start to this year’s competition and even despite some grey skies, Old Trafford Cricket Ground brought plenty of atmosphere.
Here’s how they got the entertainment underway on Wednesday night:
Local favourite Phil Salt gave the OT crowd plenty to watch with an exciting race to a half century, reaching the threshold within just 35 balls.
Bowing out at 60 after Mills ended his rapid-fire run, this not only took ‘Salty’s overall Hundred total to within spitting distance of 1,000, setting the new all-time tournament record with 991 runs.
Even though they may have been edged out by the visitors, the OGs still put in a decent showing with the ball in their hands too, with Hundred debutant Jimmy Anderson getting the bowling underway.
He may have gone wicketless, but his pressure and experience still helped set the tone, not to mention drawing plenty of fanfare as he also became the second-oldest player in The Hundred history.
Prior to the men’s team getting underway, their female counterparts faced an even taller order against their travelling opponents, being beaten by six wickets on a difficult opening afternoon.
They come up against London’s multi-time Hundred champions, Oval Invincibles, next this Saturday (9 August) down in the capital, and will have to get some early points on the board if they are to have any hopes of truly competing this year.
All that being said, isn’t it good to have The Hundred back?
You can watch all the highlights from the men’s match down below and see how Manchester Originals’ Women got underway HERE.
