Holidays abroad have been postponed and cancelled left, right and centre this year in the wake of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and it’s left many Brits craving some summer sunshine.
Don’t worry if you can’t get away this year though, because there’s a summer holiday-themed bottomless brunch coming to Revolution Parsonage Gardens later on this month and there’s no need for a mandatory 14-day quarantine afterwards.
The Brunch Club: Summer Holiday Edition is bringing summer to the city centre.
A summer holiday is nothing without entertainment and The Brunch Club is no different, so as well as brunch and a complete cocktail mixology lesson, there’ll also be holiday-inspired quizzes and games to play throughout the immersive 90-minute experience, as well as a DJ on hand to spin only the best summer anthems.
What’s a holiday without bottomless drinks too, right?

Along with an inclusive menu of grilled brunches, avocado toast and pancakes – with options available for vegetarians, vegans and those following a gluten-free diet – you can also grab a pint of Amstel or Heineken with your bite, or sip on a tipple or two, from Aperol Spritz and Prosecco, to a range of Revolution-exclusive spirits and cocktails, and so much more.

Obviously no holiday is complete without photographs of your memories either and that’s why every guest will be provided with their very own disposable camera on arrival to take snaps of your once-in-a-lifetime trip ‘around the world’.

It’s shaping up to be a Sunday in the city centre that you won’t go forgetting any time soon.
The Brunch Club: Summer Holiday Edition is landing in Manchester on Sunday 30th August 2020, with multiple 90-minute events happening throughout the day.
The Brunch Club is currently working closely with Revolution to make this event as COVID-safe as possible and is necessary, and those who book onto any event will be kept continuously updated with any changes over the coming weeks.
Tickets are available from £35 per head and you can grab yours here.

Manchester Cathedral is set to be lit up with ‘truly stunning’ new 360° walk-through projection show this winter.
After captivating more than a million spectators globally and illuminating dozens of the world’s most extraordinary historic landmarks over the past couple of years, LUMINISCENCE is set to make its highly anticipated UK debut this winter – and Manchester Cathedral has been chosen as the lucky location for this dazzling event.
Combining 360° video mapping, new orchestral arrangements of iconic songs, and a narrative story celebrating everything that makes Manchester and its residents so special, visitors will be invited to step into a ‘spellbinding fusion’ of light, sound, and storytelling.
LUMINISCENCE is set to pay tribute to Manchester’s rich cultural heritage through specially arranged orchestral renditions of iconic anthems – with the setlist including songs by Oasis, The Verve, Joy Division, and Elbow, just to name a few.

A brand-new script has been written for the show by BAFTA award winning writer Tim Whitnall, while narration will be provided by legendary local actor, Christopher Eccleston.
The show will be brought to life further by Manchester Collectives Gospel Choir, who’ll add a soaring choral dimension to what sounds set to be an already-powerful immersive experience.
Light from a battalion of high-power projectors becomes the storyteller inside the Cathedral, transforming the ancient architecture into a vast living canvas where every statue, carving, pillar, and stained-glass window comes to life.
LUMINISCENCE takes over Manchester Cathedral from Wednesday 14 January through to 26 March 2026, and audiences are encouraged to book early to avoid missing this unique experience as there’ll be strict capacity during the limited run.
Audiences can choose between Gold and Silver ticket tiers, offering options to suit every budget.
Gold tickets include fast-track entry and a glass of fizz on arrival, while Silver tickets for adults start from £29 (including a 10% booking fee), with concession prices available too.
Tickets go on general sale on Tuesday 18 November, and you can book them here.
