Where to watch the Eurovision final across Greater Manchester
The countdown is officially on. We're now just two weeks away from the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 final and Manchester is going all out to celebrate the occasion.
Around 1,000 people are expected to gather at Piccadilly Gardens to enjoy screenings of the two semi-finals, while 5,000 people are estimated to be attending its Grand Final screening. Access to each event is free and with no tickets required, but they will operate on a first come, first served basis.
Straight after the winner is declared, there will be a full on Eurovision and Europop afterparty. Expect Eurovision anthems from Sonia, Bucks Fizz, Sertab Erener, Loreen, and more, mixed in with Europop bangers from Robyn, Aqua, Gala, O-Zone and 2 Unlimited. For those who are watching Eurovision at home, they've also added a ticket option for the party afterwards.
They don't do food but have told punters to feel free to bring in their own snacks or order in - just don't go asking them for plates and cutlery. Seating is first come first basis so arrive early to bag your place. Standing tickets are also available. Fancy dress is definitely encouraged too and they want to see as many people, as glittery and fabulous as possible. Tickets are £5 - plus more available on the door - and on sale now via the bar's Instagram page.GRUB will also be taking part in the Eurovision fun with not one but two planned events for the Grand Finale. Their first night sold out so fast that a second date at Arch 12 on Dantzic Street - the former home of Runaway Brewery - was set up.
