MANCHESTER’S Corn Exchange is transforming itself into a ‘drinks emporium’, showcasing and celebrating the city’s diverse drinks scene.
The event is part of the process of introducing the Manchester public and visitors to the planned changes for The Corn Exchange
A mix of the best bars, mixologists and liquor gurus will occupy the empty retail spaces for four ‘big party’ nights within the mall and convert them into themed, pop-up drinking dens from 24-27 October.
There’ll also be a DJ stage and central seating area creating a ‘bar festival’ experience under the dome of the Edwardian building
The good news for tipplers and toasters is that the event is completely free.
Legendary bar, Socio Rehab, which closed on New Year’s Eve 2012, is to be recreated as ‘Socio Reborn’. Manchester bar stalwarts The Ducie Bridge will create their own acoustic bar, and Mark Addy’s Robert Owen Brown will bring a Cider Fest to the proceedings with his pop up venue - The Barn Yard. Meanwhile Kro Bar will host a mini real ale festival.
XFM Manchester will be adding to the soundtrack with DJs at the XFM Stage.
The event is part of the process of introducing the Manchester public and visitors to the changes due to take place at The Corn Exchange. The vision is for a building completely dedicated to food and drink - as the image below indicates.
