As Brits prepare for a staycation summer, Aperol, the Italian Aperitivo is opening its own picture-perfect Italian beach bar, tucked away in the heart of Manchester – offering visitors an idyllic, holiday-like setting.
Transporting city dwellers from the hustle and bustle of Manchester’s urban jungle to the serenity of the Mediterranean coast, The Aperol Spritz & Spiaggia is the ideal spot to reconnect with friends and family for an early-evening Aperitivo.
The Mediterranean escape in Manchester’s The Oast House celebrates the summer sun in true Italian style. The white, sandy beach setting features a stunning outdoor beach bar, including a jet ski and Fiat 500s in Aperol’s iconic orange – the perfect backdrop for summer snaps with friends. Visitors are invited to chill out in the relaxing cabana-style seating or take a seat at the bar swings for that ultimate holiday feeling.
And as no Italian getaway is complete without enjoying an authentic Aperitivo with friends and loved ones, The Aperol Spritz & Spiaggia will of course serve perfectly-poured Aperol Spritz and light bites, letting guests say Salute to summer while enjoying the feeling of sand beneath their toes. Plus, to kick-off the Aperitivo Hour every day, DJs will take centre stage to guarantee good vibes and beach party tunes.
Discover the beach bar from Thursday 5 August – Sunday 15 August, with select areas available to book via Eventbrite for a much-needed evening of togetherness with friends on the beach.
Loris Contro, Aperol UK Brand Ambassador, said, “The taste of an Aperol Spritz is enough to transport you to the shores of Italy, and The Aperol Spritz & Spiaggia is here to make it a reality. At a time when not many of us are able to enjoy an overseas getaway, we wanted to bring all the beauty and joyful vibes of the Italian beach scene to the UK. Swing in the sun and escape to the Mediterranean whilst sipping on a refreshing and flavourful Aperol Spritz – I’ll say Salute to that!”
Danny Leach, General Manager of The Oast House added, “We are so excited to bring a slice of Italy to the heart of Manchester. It is often said Manchester has everything but a beach, and thanks to The Aperol Spritz & Spiaggia at The Oast House we can now say it does! With so many of us missing out on holidays abroad yet again this summer, we’re delighted we can bring the beach bar vibes closer to home, with a truly authentic Italian spiaggia.”
Whilst guests are able to walk in and enjoy the Spiaggia for free, it is advised that beach-goers get in there quick to secure the best spot on the beach by booking a reservable area online. To book simply visit EventBrite here.
