THE Yacht Club has departed Spinningfields for the winter, so it's time to change tack.

The Ski Club will be launching in November and running through into the spring.

The aspiration is for a 'high end, chic, après ski bar in the heart of the city, inspired by the luxury chalet retreats of Courchevel 1850, Verbier and St. Morritz.' 

More details will be revealed soon, but the bar will include a 'VIP members' area, an exclusive hireable event space, a chalet cocktail bar and a cosy snug'.

Chris Legh, director at Heart Soul Rock & Roll, comments: “This summer The Yacht Club built a glamorous and dedicated cliental and we have had an amazing time through rain and shine.

“We couldn’t wait until next summer, so we’ve created a 250 capacity stylish indoor winter retreat to take us right through the ski season all the way to Spring. The Ski Club will be Manchester’s first VIP après ski, perfectly situated in the heart of Spinningfields.”

Chris clearly likes his idea. So let's now see if it delivers.
