Best Events in September

From The Lion King and Mary Poppins to Rocky Horror and Bohemian Rhapsody, these quirky film nights are taking over The Mint Lounge for night after night of bottomless booze, unlimited popcorn and the chance to belt along to all your favourite movie musicals.

A great way to see off those post-summer blues this month, head to Elnecot on the 25th for a night of delicious German wines. Turning their Ancoats restaurant in a Berlin-style bar, Elnecot will also be bringing the atmosphere of the German capital with kebabs and live DJ.

If you're winding down from a long summer of parties then this is a lovely way to spend an autumn evening. Taking place in St Ann's Church, the night centres around Warren Mailley-Smith, a prodigiously talented pianist, who will be tinkling the keys to a candlelit backdrop.

Bored of the old Q + A at most quiz nights? Sounds Familiar is the madcap game that combines musical rounds, confetti canons, and dancing on tables. Go as a group and get ready to belt along to the likes of Meatloaf, Taylor Swift and Bonnie Tyler.

You've probably heard of these guys before, but that's for a good reason. Join Ultimate Power yet again this month for another corker of a party night in Manchester. From rocking ballads to air guitar sessions, this is a hoot and a half. 

Take your brunching up a notch with Peter Street Kitchen as they put on their Rikyū Brunch. The swish space has garnered a name for their fusion Japanese and Mexican dishes; check out this afternoon offering to see what all the fuss is about.

Feel like you've still got something to learn this month in Manchester? How does learning a little bit more about beer sound? Join the Manchester Microbrewery Walking Tour for just that as you sup and walk your way through some of the best in the city. 

Sip on red red wine this September as the Reggae Brunch makes a mighty return to Manchester. Expect a soundtrack of reggae, dancehall and tropical hits accompanied by a mouthwatering menu of Caribbean eats and an unbeatable party vibe. 

This September, Albert Hall is playing host to Battle of the Biers as Manchester and Munich go head-to-head to win title of best bier purveyors. Placing booze, bratwurst and brass at the forefront, this event will showcase the city's finest breweries with world-class musicians and street eats.  

From an opening party led by Maribou State, Annie Mac and Skream through to a birthday party featuring Chase & Status and David Rodigan, The Warehouse Project never fails to come through. Don't miss Skepta, The Martinez Brothers, Diplo and many more.
