How to celebrate Graduation in Manchester

The huge student population is part of what makes Manchester such a special place. Here’s how to celebrate your graduation in style…

The hard part’s over. Now it’s time for the good stuff. After months of stress and cramming, you’re finally emerging from your student study hole for Graduation, leaving behind the piles of notes and empty Nutella jars for something much better.

This is the start of post-grad life, and the best bit is here now: the bit where your parents take you out to dinner, tell you how clever you are, how proud they are, and spoil you rotten with lots of bubbly and tasty, tasty food.

The Living Ventures group are renowned in Manchester for raising the standards of our city’s hospitality industry and, as such, are a team you can trust with a celebration as important as graduation. After all, most of us only do it once, so we want it to be a top-notch day.
