There’s a Spice Girls karaoke bottomless brunch coming to Manchester
Know anyone who’ll love this?
Calling all Spice Girls fans: There’s a bottomless brunch karaoke event dedicated to the hit ‘90’s girl band coming to Manchester later this year.
The event’s description instructs guests to ‘sing their lungs out’ at this unique experience, stating: “We have different themes at different times of the day, we encourage everyone to dress up as we have a best-dressed competition! So select your theme on checkout and enjoy the ninety minutes of fun and madness!”
Each ninety minute slot also includes a ‘bottomless’ option for drinks, so guests can sing along to Spice Girls hits and load up on as many cocktails and glasses of prosecco as they can – sounds like a little slice of heaven, doesn’t it?

Drinks included in the bottomless offer are Aperol Spritz, Ketel V&T, Blank Canvas, Amstel, Prosecco, Bloody Mary, and a choice of soft drinks.
As for what’s on the menu, the standard brunch grill offers free-range fried eggs, crispy bacon, sausages, charred plum tomato and fried mushrooms, served with baked beans and toast, while their gluten free option includes sliced avocado instead of bread.
For vegetarian and vegan guests, the menu offers the avocado brunch – smashed avo on toasted sourdough topped with tomatoes, chilli flakes, coriander and Sriracha sauce.
And for those with a sweet tooth, pancakes are also on the menu, layered with banana, blueberry jam, Nutella and fresh blueberries.

And if Spice Girls isn’t your jam, the event also offers two other musical themes – Hip Hop Brunch and Beyonce Brunch.
The Spice Girls karaoke brunch is scheduled to take place at a venue on Parsonage Gardens on November 28th, 2021 – quite a while away, I know, but more time to perfect your 90’s costume, I suppose.

This comes after rumours of a 2021 Spice Girls tour, with a source close to Mel C saying: “It’s going to be a huge year and the girls are excited.
“After all the coronavirus problems, there really needs to be something to look forward to and they want to take over 2021 with a tour.”
