HUGE Mad Friday party with cheap booze and karaoke is coming to Manchester

An integral part of British culture, Mad Friday marks the start of Christmas with a proper boozy night out, which is why Love Factory is hosting the session to end all sessions on December 16th.

Running split shifts — 5pm to 8pm and then 8pm to 11pm, both hosted by Mrs Claus — the immersive Christmas show has something for everyone.

A packed music programme has been put together, too, with Manchester’s critically acclaimed Ceeow bringing the full GreensKeepers band experience.

Their exclusive live performance will see familiar and not-so-familiar winter anthems, with Christmas songs without the cheese – it’s guaranteed to be a memorable set.

Dancers and performers will bring outrageous alternative Christmas scenes and DJs will take to the Love Factory booth.

There’s also private Karaoke Suites, bookable for groups between 10 and 30 people – whether you’re a vocal talent or not, there’s no better spot to take in all the action on the dance floor and bars below.

Each session kicks off with a Happy Power Hour, with cut price drinks on offer for the first 60-minutes. That means pints and prosecco at £2.50, and shots at £1.

They’ve not forgotten the food, either, with vendors including pies from Ate Days A Week, where — among other things — you’ll find Pulled Turkey, Sausage Stuffing and Pig-In-Blanket nestled under the crust.

Tickets for the early and late sessions are completely free, so you better be quick!
