What's On
A Christmas spa with a mulled wine hot tub has opened just outside Manchester
It’s definitely mulled wine time!
The only way to get in the festive spirit this year? Quite literally bathe yourself in mulled wine.
The unusual Christmas experience is just a short distance from Manchester and will have you soaking up the spice and warmth of mulled wine.
The spa gives guests a much-needed winter wonderland experience that is actually supposed to be beneficial.
The warmth opens your pores, releasing toxins and allowing your skin to embrace the tannins in the mulled wine, according to the spa.
The hot tub is filled with the festive hot drink and helps ‘fight viruses and fungi whilst also improving cardiac health and increasing blood flow’. Some also say the polyphenols found in grapes and citrus fruits help improve circulation.
For those looking for a detox – it will do that too! The orange, cinnamon and star anise found in the wine have a ‘high level of antioxidants’.
And if you thought you wouldn’t be able to taste it – think again, you’ll even get a nice mug of the delicious festive drink while you soak in it. It’ll be from a fresh bottle though not the bath.
Other festive treatments include a 45-minute Frankincense massage or a body scrub using brown sugar, cinnamon and orange which is supposed to bring blood flow back to the skin and ‘leave you glowing’.
If you fancy getting in the festive spirit, the Christmas spa is in Cheshire, at the newly refurbished Bazaar Spa & Silk Garden at Shrigley Hall in Macclesfield. Prices start at £60pp.
