Oh come all ye faithful – and party

The sweetest winter newcomer is attempting to get us in the spirit this Yule with all manner of entertainment. North Pole bar located in Cathedral Gardens will be boosting the festive mood with a range of cracking beers, wines, cocktails, snacks, gorgeous decorations and entertainment.

For example on Wednesday the 1st the North Pole will be opening its doors to carol singers

Schofield, the Confidential editor, was asked which his favorite carol was.

“I like many a Carol,” he said, “although I’ve always had more fun with Rebeccas.”

“But if you’re talking the singing variety,” he continued slipping on a joke Santa hat, “it has to be God Bless Ye Merry Gentlemen. So good tidings of comfort and joy to you all.”

Tuesdays will host acoustic set nights and on a Sunday, local buskers will perform for guests.

Fancy a quieter affair? Pop in on Mondays for the Silent Disco?

Additionally there will be a range of drop-in events - brass bands have been suggested - plus a floating plethora of other seasonal fun.

So all together now: ‘Once in Royal Howard Bernstein’s City, stood a lonely regeneration initiative……..”

Here are the listings so far - keep your eyes peeled for extra events.

- Every Monday, Silent Night – a wintery music battle from two Manchester DJs

- Tuesday evenings – acoustic Manchester

- Carol singing night – Wednesday 1 December

- Sunday’s – Showcase of local busking talent
