As the country is in the midst of its second lockdown, and with many businesses having to temporarily close their doors, Manchester’s favourite leisure destination, the Great Northern, is urging the community to keep supporting local, independent businesses, now more than ever.
With takeaway and delivery options available across its delicious food and drink brands, everyone can bring a little bit of the Great Northern home for a cosy night in this November.

The Great Northern is proud to be able to support Wood Street Mission’s Christmas toy appeal despite the lockdown. If you’re in the area and able to make a donation of a gift for a local child in need, drop in at their temporary basis at the Great Northern’s Community Room, which is accessed via the stairs at Great Bridgewater Street. If you’re struggling to find the room, please call 07895 375730 so one of the charity’s volunteers can help you with directions.
