A visit to see Father Christmas is a festive staple, but now one Manchester department store is giving shoppers the chance to celebrate the most wonderful time of year by sharing some cocktails with the big man himself.
Selfridges at Manchester Exchange Square are hosting three Cocktails with Santa events next week and there's plenty of surprises in store. The adult-only event promises a festive evening of cocktails, small plates and merrymaking, joined by Santa Claus, his trusty elf and the totally fabulous drag queen, Narcissa Nightshade.
The evening will be co-produced by Selfridge's partners Eat Well MCR, led by acclaimed chef Mary-Ellen McTague, in collaboration with 10 Tib Lane and Caroline Martins. Mary-Ellen and Caroline Martins have devised a showstopping menu of small plates including riffs on roast turkey and decadent desserts, while Manchester bar, 10 Tib Lane, have devised a accompanying cocktail menu including a boozy eggnog concoction.
