Urban Narnia, Manchester’s extraordinary new Christmas destination at Hatch on Oxford Road, launches on Thursday 15th November and there’s an incredible free opening party planned! The Urban Narnia events programme kicks off from 6pm on Thursday 15th November with an incredible night of fun. Starring The Snow Queen, Fantastic Fauns and Mr Tumnus, Danielle Moore of Crazy P fame will be on the decks, Jenna and the Gs will be putting on a live performance. Beefeater Gin will be brewing up free hot gin punch cocktails for the first 200 guests to arrive! Forget mulled wine, this is Christmas for the curious, and hot mulled gin (and sake!) is the order of the day. Guests will also be able to check out the new collective of retailers, street food brands and bars who’ve joined the lineup. Independent retailers such as Grafficks, Stutter &Twitch, Nordic Muse,Friking UK, along with independent food stalls such as The Mac Shak, Takk, Japanese Junk, Cottonopolis, Cayuco and much more will all be a part of it. Following on from the launch party an immersive and diverse programme of events is scheduled throughout the rest of Urban Narnia with the site being brought to life with music, performances, parties (for kids and grown-ups alike) and a whole family of characters to meet including Mr Tumnus and the Fabulous Fauns. Urban Narnia opens at 6pm on 15th November with the last event taking place on the 20th December. For more information head to www.hatchmcr.com Hatch. Oxford Rd, Manchester M1 7ED 0333 323 2238
