The Lawn Club

The Lawn Club

Always one step ahead, The Lawn Club has brought back their unique festive fun-time hideaway – yes, it’s yurt-time. We’re talking twinkling lights, faux fur and foliage, all at the heart of Spinningfields. Here’s where to go for festive dining in Manchester,  plus a huge range of drinks, as well as live music throughout the festive period.

Looking for the perfect place for a work’s do? You can book the yurt out, providing you have a group of four or more.

The heated yurt comes complete with cosy sheepskin blankets, non-stop partying, DJs spinning the best party anthems and a Christmas centrepiece – with a cascading arrangement of decorations – giving guests plenty of room to dance the night away.

Decked top-to-toe with twinkling lights, guests will feel like the snow is falling (all around them), whilst enjoying all the festive eats, boozy hot chocolates and winter-warming cocktails curated with Bankhall Whisky.

On Fridays and Saturdays from 12pm, the party will run until the small hours, with party classics and Christmas corkers,  perfect for guests to rock around the Christmas Tree. And if that wasn’t enough of a reason to make merry, The Lawn Club will also be hosting an exclusive version of its bottomless brunch through December, jam-packed with festive dishes and drinks – at just £38.50 PP for 90 minutes of festive food alongside bottomless drinks and set to a soundtrack of the ultimate festive tunes.

New Year’s Eve

There’s more fun times to be had on New Year’s Eve, when The Lawn Club hosts what could be Manchester’s longest NYE celebration. Things kick off at 12pm with a fittingly fizzy bottomless brunch (the same deal as above), before live DJs, late night dancing and disco cocktails take you right through to 3am.

Tickets for the party bit (running from 7.30pm) are only £15pp, and include a free glass of Prosecco to welcome you in. Going in a group and want to guarantee a table? We recommending going for a group ticket, which starts at £30pp, and includes bottles of fizz and a dedicated table for your group in the pergola or yurt area, ensuring you have somewhere to rest your feet after all that dancing.
Package upgrades and bottle pre-orders are also available for tables to take the stress out of the evening and make sure the drinks stay flowing. And to soak them up, food will be available with a menu of select signature dishes and fan favourites served until 10pm.
