Birdcage Manchester

So you’ve booked your ticket to Manchester, your accommodation and that perfect combination of hen activities for during the day– next you have to think “Where do I go for the perfect night out?” Well put simply the mecca for all hens visiting Manchester is The Birdcage nightclub opposite the popular Printworks complex in the city centre.

Well established as the premier hen party destination in Manchester the Birdcage will throw open its doors every Friday and Saturday night from 9p.m until late for an evening of Disco with hits from the 80’s, 90’s and now. Not enough? Okay how about throwing in every 40 minutes “David Dale and the Birdcage Starlets” - a Vegas style drag and showgirl cabaret performing amongst many other things tributes to great acts like Cher and Abba. Still not enough? How about a cheeky but lovable hostess whose sharp cut downs can have you and your friends in stitches? A state of the art sound and lighting system? Okay you get the picture.

The venue itself can hold up to 2000 people and trust us when we say on a Saturday it will do, so there are a few things to remember. Firstly drinks – if you are going to any one of the three bars get a couple of rounds in as the popularity of the venue will inevitably lead to queues. Either that or take advantage of the table service within the reserved seating but be aware it is not guaranteed and will stop shortly after 11pm. Secondly the atmosphere and disco will naturally mean that it’s noisy, so if you want to talk to one another all night this isn’t the place to go- it’s cabaret with disco not just cabaret. J

If you aren’t too much of a fan of large crowds then of the two nights arranging to go to the Birdcage on the Friday of your Manchester hen weekend is probably the more sensible option and can be easily arranged. We’ll organise your Birdcage tickets and set you up with guestlist access early evening to a venue in the popular Printworks so you can get a few pre Birdcage drinks in. Tickets on Friday tend to be cheaper as well at £8 for Q jump (which you must use before 11pm) and £12 for reserved seating (which must be used before 10pm). A VIP area is also available for larger groups.

If however you want to arrange a visit to the Manchester Birdcage on the Saturday night of your visit which the majority of hen parties in Manchester tend to try and do we will happily check availability and try and get you sorted. Prices are a little more expensive at £8 for Q jump (which you must use before 11pm) and £15 for reserved seating (which must be used before 10pm.) VIP is not available.

We are certainly fans and that is why we are offering it you as an activity in its own right or as part of your own uniquely built Manchester Hen party or shortly as part of a special package- keep checking the website for details. Tickets through us are at absolutely no extra cost at all as we have matched the Birdcage’s prices.

Send us your enquiry and we can start to help sort that perfect night in the Manchester Birdcage today.

Exciting Link Ups for Stag and Hen Manchester

Well the last time I wrote this blog was during “Britain’s Big Freeze” and I encouraged all you hens to use the time you were snowbound wisely and start thinking about all those important Manchester hen parties for 2010 and boy did you respond. Thanks to all those that made enquiries and bookings with us in January and took advantage of our Bride goes Free offer and to all those that haven’t quite gotten around to starting to organise those perfect hen parties in Manchester get a move on!! J

Now the January burst is over I wanted to take this opportunity to add a few more blog entries before another rush begins and update you on a few developments.

Firstly Stag and Hen Manchester are delighted to be able to announce a link up with one of Manchester’s must see music experiences the Hard Rock Cafe outside the Printworks complex a very popular nightlife spot. As the UK’s biggest Hard Rock Cafe having a meal is definitely a unique experience as you sit in its 450 seat restaurant surrounded by Rock memorabilia from everyone from the Beatles to Manchester’s own now disbanded rock gods Oasis. Also boasting a 100 seat cocktail lounge and its very own rock shop it is well worth a visit.

Secondly we are also very pleased to announce that we are now working with The Birdcage - Manchester’s premier nightclub for hen parties. This ensures that should you want to visit whilst on your hen party that you can do so and we can organise that for you. Simply let us know whether you want to go on Friday night or Saturday night and what type of ticket you want and we will do the rest.

Hitting 2010 Running

Manchester – Transport facilities for the New Decade

Manchester’s popular and very successful Metrolink service will hit the ground running in 2010 (excuse the pun) as a major 6 month project to renew all of the city centre track with high quality street finishes and to completely redevelop the St Peter’s Square and Piccadilly Gardens stops has finished on time.

This has given two of the most popular stops on the networks a sparkling new finish including top of the range touch screen ticket machines that accept notes, coins, debit cards and credit cards to make buying the value for money tickets even easier. The revamped Piccadilly Gardens stop will be particularly important for those Hen Parties in Manchester that are going to make full use of all the shopping Manchester has to offer and for those Manchester Stag Weekends that are looking to explore all the bars and pubs throughout every quarter of the city.

Remember though that although we recommend the tram system as the best way around the city during the day and early evening, trams do stop before last orders at 11p.m!!

Remember to check our guide for city centre transport options or just contact us to ask

A very happy 2010 to you all!

Keeping an Eye on Manchester's Busy Schedule

As we enter into another busy year in Manchester in 2010 Stag and Hen Manchester wanted to warn prospective stags and hens about checking what’s happening in Manchester the weekend of your prospective Manchester Stag Weekends or Hen Parties in Manchester.

You will be surprised as to the influence something as simple as Manchester United playing at home will have. Availability of rooms will become scarce which means higher prices and less chance of your group being together in the hotel of your choice. You also will see an influx of the vast majority of the 75,000 person crowd into the city centre after the game finishes. So Hens if you don’t fancy meeting a fair few merry football fans then pick another weekend or Stags if you hate United fans these aren’t the weekends for you! We don’t want to put you off your Manchester Stag Nights though or hens if the date can’t be moved we will ensure minimal impact on the enjoyment of your hen night. Manchester does have over 500 nightlife venues after all!!!!

We have also recently encountered a few occasions where large events at the MEN Arena do have a small impact on the availability and price of accommodation in the city centre. (A recent example being next years Peter Kay tour.) If you are planning to make an MEN arena event part of your Manchester Stag Night or hen weekend in Manchester then make sure you book well in advance to book the best possible, convenient accommodation. And of course if you aren’t it is still worthwhile being aware what is on the weekend you are going.

Keep tabs on the Manchester Guide section of our website where we endeavour to keep you up to date or ask us on enquiry and we will source the information for you.

Happy New Year from the Stag and Hen Manchester Team- We wish you a prosperous and happy 2010 and of course fun and unforgettable Manchester Stag Weekends and Hen parties in Manchester.

Silks Gentlemen's Lounge Grand Opening

SPECIAL OFFER - stretch hummer pick up from city centre location and club entry for only £10 per person. Call 0161223 0417 or email info@stagandhenmanchester.co.uk.

Stag and Hen Manchester has this week had the pleasure of visiting the latest Gentlemen’s Club to hit the streets of Manchester at its grand opening last Thursday night. Silk’s Gentlemens Lounge is on Lloyd Street by the town hall half way between the Printworks and Deansgate Locks this is a must for any Manchester stag night.

Its luxurious interior starts with the modern and elegant ground floor with a large well stocked bar, widescreen tv’s showing sport and stage with floor to ceiling mirrors where its stunning girls perform regularly throughout the evening. We were greeted with a free glass of champagne and very quickly were enjoying ourselves in what we view as a necessity on any good Manchester stag weekend.

As the evening progressed we enjoyed everything from a public stage show with a member of the team selflessly allowing himself to be the recipient of a public stageshow from the lovely Brooke,a dance perfect for any groom to be, to a visit to one of the many private booths for a sensuous dance which at £10 a time lasting one song are safely the cheapest in Manchester and essential for any Manchester Stag Weekends.

We also have a new VIP area to look forward to that will be finished shortly and can provide some additional privacy where required. Silks have also thoughfully laid on stretch hummers filled with girls to pick you up in town and deliver you directly to the club and come early in the new year we are looking forward to providing as a stag activity for Stag parties in Manchester a trip in a mobile strip club that will be housed in a double decker executive coach that can take you anywhere you wish to go with booze and women a plenty.

Remember Hens can visit aswell so if you want to arrange such a trip for your Hen parties in Manchester Please let us know and we can arrange matters accordingly.

Manchester stag nights will never be the same again so please feel free to talk about the best gentlemens club options available to your group on booking as certain conditions can apply so we will talk you through the best ones to suit you.

Seasons Greetings from Stag and Hen Manchester
