You can now get your hands on £20 gift cards for half the price to spend on a whole host of January deals at the Printworks.
Once the hustle and bustle of the festive season has been and gone, January can often feel like a much quieter month in our city, but for those who don’t see the post-Christmas period as a time of rest and relaxation, then luckily, there’s plenty to be getting up to and deals to make the most down at the Printworks.
And it’s even better if you download the venue’s exclusive app, by the way.
In case you hadn’t heard, Manchester‘s Printworks launched an exciting new app back in the summer, and it means customers can follow their favourite venues within the landmark entertainment complex to keep up-to-date with all the latest news and events, as well as take advantage of loads of offers, enter competitions, and so much more.
The app is available now as a free download on both the App Store and Google Store, and features its own selection of exclusive app discounts.
Not only that, but it also gives members the opportunity to collect loyalty points when they visit the city centre venue, as well as get monthly rewards and freebies, alongside exclusive VIP access to events and the chance to win prizes.
And so, with January often a time when many are keen to keep their spending low, Printworks has launched another exclusive ‘Double Your Money’ sale offer that gives those who download the app the chance to bag half-price gift cards.

Running right up until the end of this month, newbies who download the app can now get themselves a £20 gift card for just £10 – which basically means you’ll have double the money to spend on whatever you want at your favourite Printworks bar, restaurant, or leisure venue.
Existing app users can also enjoy 50% off rewards too, so they’ll only need half the number of points to redeem this month’s rewards.
Some of the rewards this month include a free cocktail to enjoy with your meal at Frankie & Benny’s, a free dessert over at Hard Rock Café, a free mocktail for those doing ‘Dry January’ at Bierkeller, and free chips & dips to tuck into a Chiquito.
There’s also deals to be had a Wetherspoons, Yates, O’Neill’s, and more.

Hit theatre production set at a house party to visit Manchester on UK tour
Daisy Jackson
Alright then, 24 hour party people, we’ve found a theatre production you might like the sound of – it’s called The House Party, and it’s set in (you guessed it) a house party.
This smash hit production by pioneering theatre company Headlong is set to land at HOME in March as part of the arts venue’s 2025 theatre season.
It tells the tale of a wild 18th birthday party, where Christine is trying to pick up the pieces of her best friend, a newly-dumped Julie (who happens to be the birthday girl).
Themes of class, power and privilege are all explored with a raw intensity as the cast on stage plough through shots and dive head-first into a night that will change everything they know.
The House Party, which has received glowing reviews from previous showings, is filled with ‘privilege, desire and destruction’.
When it stops off in Manchester, its cast will include Bridgerton’s Sesley Hope as Christine, Synnøve Karlsen (Miss Austen, Last Night in Soho) as Julie, and Tom Lewis (Gentleman Jack, Patience) as Jon.
The ensemble of Frantic Assembly performers includes Ines Aresti, Oliver Baines, Cal Connor, Micah Corbin-Powell, Rachael Leonce, Jaheem Pinder and Jamie Randall.
The House Party is written by Laura Lomas and is a reimagining of August Strindberg’s Miss Julie for today’s generation.
It’s directed by Headlong’s artistic director Holly Race Roughan, who directed the Royal Shakespeare Company’s world premiere of David Edgar’s major new political play The New Real.

Movement direction will come from Frantic Assembly’s Scott Graham.
Prior to the UK tour of The House Party, Headlong celebrated its 50 year anniversary, including the hit production of A Raisin in the Sun which played nationwide.
The House Party will be at HOME in Manchester between 25 and 29 March, 2025 – you can get your tickets HERE.
Greater Manchester’s annual Repair Week is back to make you fall back in love with your stuff
Daisy Jackson
If you’re not a handy person, when something breaks, the temptation is often to abandon or bin it straight away.
But that’s just not how we’re gonna do it here in Greater Manchester any more, with the return of the annual Repair Week to help you learn valuable repair skills and save money at the same time.
Whether it’s tinkering with your bicycle, fixing up your small tech items, or having your furniture re-varnished and upcycled, there are so many places and people who are on a mission to help you fall back in love with your belongings.
There are even workshops to help you put flat-pack furniture together.
Taking place between 3 and 9 March, Repair Week will be the chance to learn skills, fix your stuff, gain repair confidence and find local fixers.
Events throughout the week (and beyond) will be hosted by community groups, businesses and plenty more.
You can sharpen knives, fix zips, and un-wobble chairs with a little hand from local repair heroes.
JillyGDesign Jewellery in Heaton Moor will fix up your sentimental and special jewellery items, while Rag Revival will help you turn unusable textiles into new creations with basic sewing skills.
There are repair cafes popping up all over Greater Manchester where you can take your belongings.

Repair Week will highlight schemes like the Manchester Library of Things, where you can borrow the tools and equipment you need for those repair jobs at home.
During the week you’ll also be able to take a behind-the-scenes tour of the incredible Renew Hub, the UK’s biggest reuse hub, where donated items are brought back to life.
Similarly, you’ll be able to get inside the textile recycling centre run by homelessness charity Emmaus Bolton, where you can choose your own fabric from the scrap store and turn it into a very handy draught excluder to keep costs down and your heat in.
Recycle for Greater Manchester’s Repair Week will take place between 3 and 9 March, with workshops, events and resources to help you revive your belongings.
