One of the most unique outdoor cinema experiences is returning to Cheshire countryside for a one-off screening of a classic film favourite.
The 400-acre Alderley Park is known for being a place where world-leading science, innovation, and stylish living come all come together, but on 3 September, it will be turned into a cinema under the stars and will be showing a very-special screening of the 80s cult classic film, Back to The Future.
Cinema Under the Stars – in partnership with Alfresco Film Company – will give film fans the chance to enjoy a night of nostalgia with a timeless movie classic in a unique setting as the sun goes down.
Back to The Future was highest-grossing film of 1985 and a cultural phenomenon, and you can expect to travel back in time as you follow the adventures of Marty McFly on what promises to be an entertaining as the iconic sci-fi comedy is projected onto a huge 20ft outdoor screen.
There will be an option to purchase a premium ticket including a deck chair, but you can also bring your own blankets and chairs, and warmer layers are also advised for when the temperature drops.

Food and drink will be available to purchase on the night too, but you can also take your own snacks and refreshments too.
Speaking ahead of the return of Cinema Under the Stars, Sam Darby – Head of Development at Bruntwood SciTech – said: “We are delighted that Cinema Under the Stars is returning to Alderley Park as it’s the perfect opportunity to bring our customers, residents, and the wider Cheshire community together to enjoy one of the most beloved films of all time in the beautiful surroundings of the Park.”

A sustainable vintage fashion shop and kilo sale is popping up in a Greater Manchester town in a couple of days time.
And all the proceeds will go to a very-worthy charity.
Merely weeks after the UK’s largest vintage market descended on the iconic Victoria Baths in Manchester city centre, another sustainable fashion event will be popping up in one of the region’s popular shopping centres for the month.
British Heart Foundation will be hosting a brand-new pop-up shop and vintage kilo sale, where you can buy clothing and other goods at a fixed price per kilogram, in Stretford town centre.
Opening its doors this Saturday (5 April), the charity will be taking over the vacant unit that’s next door to JD Sports to provide the Stretford community with a charity shop filled with all sorts of vintage goods and thrifty finds.
Visitors will be able to sift through shelves stacked with major brands at bargain prices, making it the perfect way to sustainably stock up on wardrobe staples and revamp ready for spring.

All proceeds from the pop-up shop will go directly to the British Heart Foundation, helping to fund vital research into cures and treatments for heart and circulatory diseases, so whether you’re a fashion lover, an avid bargain hunter, or you simply just want to support a good cause, you know where to head on down to.
Running right through until 19 April, this venture is set to be a massively-valuable new addition to Stretford town centre.
The British Heart Foundation pop-up store will be open on Mondays – Saturdays from 10am-4pm, and on Sundays from 10am-3:30pm.

Manchester’s new £2.5m indoor activity park is offering 50% off tickets over half term

Greater Manchester’s newly-opened indoor activity park is offering families the chance to visit for half price this spring holidays.
In case you missed it, Salford was chosen by Oxygen Activeplay as the location for its next venture, an officially opened the doors to its newest state-of-the-art equipment facility above bustling food hall Kargo MKT, inside the former site of I’m a Celebrity Jungle Challenge down at Quayside MediaCity in mid February.
Since opening to the public, Oxygen MediaCity has already been helping lots of local families stay active and have fun at the same time.
Following a £2.5 million investment, the new park features more than 30 trampolines, a mega-air bag, a high ropes course, a ‘Rollglider’ aerial ride which flies over the facility, and Oxygen’s signature illuminated sensory experience ‘Excite Tunnel’, along with even more “epic” activities.
A series of optional games and dance parties are also on offer during each play session, and the new Manchester park also hosts ‘Peaceful Play’ sessions designed for neurodivergent guests, who prefer a calmer and quieter playing environment, as well as there being a ‘Toddler Venture Zone’.
A cafe serving drinks, snacks, and meals also overlooks the park, so once you’re all bounced out, you can recharge with a full feast from the new menu before heading home.

And thankfully, once schools are out for the spring holidays in a couple of weeks time, families can get themselves one of Oxygen at MediaCity’s Easter Holiday Pass, which gives pass holders the chance to visit the park on any five days of the two-week break – including on weekends and bank holidays – for 60 minutes of ‘Open Play’.
For a limited time only, you can save some pennies and take advantage of a half price offer and get your hands on an Easter Holidays Pass for only £30.
