At their Deansgate, Piccadilly and Spinningfields venues, Slug and Lettuce are going all-out for New Year's Eve. Not only are they extending their brunch hours so you can enjoy bottomless booze throughout the day, but entry to their Glitz and Glam Ball costs just £7 per person too.
You'll receive a complimentary spirit and mixer on arrival, before hitting the dancefloor as they play all the best pop hits.

Looking for something quirky? Kick off 2026 in style by donning an orange jumpsuit and heading behind bars. The prison-inspired immersive experience will have you attempting to smuggle booze past the warden, before your fellow inmates whip up premium concoctions.
