Social entertainment venue makes UK debut at Manchester’s Printworks
Spider Box, a next-generation social entertainment concept, has made its UK debut at Manchester’s Printworks leisure and entertainment venue.
The 8,000 sq ft venue offers a range of day-to-night activities, targeting an audience which includes families, students, corporate groups, and nightlife enthusiasts.
Spider Box Printworks will offer attractions such as racing simulators, music quizzes, live music, karaoke, and a performance area to showcase talent across the north west.
In addition, the venue will feature a food and beverage concept with a street food-inspired menu which includes tempura, seafood, grilled dishes, as well as vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options.
The opening follows Printworks’ recent £27m refurbishment, which included the installation of Europe’s largest digital ceiling and one of the UK’s biggest IMAX screens.
Ben Haller, director at DTZ Investors, said: “The quality of customer offer is at the heart of everything we do as landlord. We continually seek partnerships which engage and excite visitors with Spider Box an exciting addition to already enviable entertainment offer found at Printworks. They will give visitors high-energy, interactive experiences that perfectly align with our forward-thinking approach in leisure which reinforces our commitment to keep pace with market trends and consumer demands.”
Rob Hetherington, CEO of Spider Entertainment, added: “Manchester is a fantastic city, one that really understands and feeds off a strong evening to late-night economy. When we made the decision to launch this new concept in Manchester, Printworks stood out for its history, appeal, point of difference, and collection of like-minded leisure brands. Quality social experiences is what we do best, and with Spider Box now open, we can really showcase our expertise in immersive entertainment to an engaged and knowledgeable audience.”
