There’s lots on in Manchester and beyond this week, from free hairdos to new cocktails and free events. It’s also very hot!
Here’s VIVA’s pick of the week.
MediaCity free pop-up events for all
MediaCity is set for another busy summer on the waterside piazza, with a host of free activities running from now to August – ‘Box on the Docks presents’ a series of free pop-ups from a Family Weekender to Pop-Up Pride, all of which will lead towards MediaCity’s most ambitious free event yet, We Invented the Weekend.
This summer season, Box on the Docks is returning to the MediaCity gardens, presenting a rotating programme of independent food and drink vendors in partnership with Salford-born SEVEN BRO7HERS BREWING CO. From tasty authentic gyros to boozy ice cream, they will be serving up the best pop-ups Salford and Manchester have to offer with an aim to give a platform to both emerging and established local brands.
Continuing its aim to support local artists, Box on the Docks will also be partnering with Salford-based design and artist duo Mikesian Studio to commission brand new artwork. The duo will be adding their magic touch to the SEVEN BRO7HERS bar with a unique new mural.

BuzzBallz Cocktails are now available in Manchester city centre at Bunny Jackson’s.
The fun, ball-shaped cans of cocktails are now on sale in First Street dive bar with six varieties to try – Choc Tease, Tequila ‘Rita, Strawberry ‘Rita, Lotta Colada, Chili Mango and Espresso Martini.
What’s more, Bunny Jackson’s will also be upping its game with a Wing Wagon – a 40ft long Winnebago converted into an al fresco chicken bus, complete with deck chairs, loungers, and its famous 20p wings.
Bunny Jackson’s Mof Gimmers told VIVA: “BuzzBallz Cocktails have landed in the UK in a big way so for us to be the first bar to serve them is a big deal. We know Mancunians are going to love them – there are six great flavours, they look great, taste amazing and add to the fun of a night out in town.”
BuzzBallz Cocktails are a smash hit in the USA and on target to sell 100 million ballz this year. All 200ml balls are 13.5 per cent abv and six flavours will be available at Bunny Jackson’s – all made with premium spirits and bursting with real fruit juice, and natural flavours.
