It’s been some time since I last visited Ply (now Ply²). In fact the last review style visit was before it changed hands.

We’ve adapted a lot over the last few months (years!) to online events as much as in person. Both have their advantages – in person, you get to go out with friends, maybe make new ones. You get to chat, socialise, dress up a bit. Online you can do all of the above – sometimes…
Hello Autumn! Sure we may be about to have a couple of warm days (sorry, I changed my wardrobe over to winter knits, totally my fault), but it’s definitely chillier. This week is a busy week, the inbox has been overflowing! We’ve got cookery classes, menu launches, crafty news, and I’m going to gently whisper…

Whilst I don’t know much about the makers behind it, what I do know is that they’ve also leaked a planning application for ‘Decorrum Tower’, a…
Last week, when I wrote about Manchester Food and Drink Festival, and all the tasty things on offer, I mentioned both the Loire Valley Wines Truck at the Hub, and the fringe event, the Loire Bucket List. The Loire Bucket List features a range of venues all serving one (or more) of the Loire Valley…
Happy hump day all – this week we’ve got an eclectic mix of Italian food, National Bacon Butty day (no really), a comeback party featuring a lot of tequila and a film and food festival. Events: This weekend sees a huge Film and Food Festival take place on Heaton Park. Film classics, street food and…
