Join Manchester’s house party

Last time we attended one of these things we loved it. It was like a house party for the city. We unreservedly recommend it, but if you want to go you haven't got long as the festivities take place on Friday 18 June.

You can learn to dance the Charleston, play party games for cracking prizes, dance to your favourite tunes and even sing-along. Or just have a laugh and a chat.

The event is Come into the Parlour and is by Rags to Bitches, the most excellent Northern Quarter emporium.

Here you can learn to dance the Charleston, play party games for cracking prizes, dance to your favourite tunes and even sing-along.

Or just have a laugh and a chat.

Plus you get to drink fine cocktails dispensed from teapots – an idea stolen from a previous Rags to Bitches do by the recent Adidas street party at Corrie (click here).

The dress code is simply titled ‘make an effort for auntie’.

This is the night of the England v Algeria game on, but you can go along after the match or watch the TV upstairs in the shop.

Come to the Parlour's on this Friday 18 June from 8pm to midnight. Tickets cost £5 from Rags to Bitches on 0161 835 9266 and the address is 60 Tib Street, Northern Quarter. Drinks are £3 or less. Go, you'll love it.
