Bonehead's Bank Holiday Brunch at Definitely Maybe Bar Afflecks is your chance to celebrate the end of August with a proper Manchester party that's part daytime celebration, part night out. Starting at 2pm on Sunday 30 August 2026, this 18+ event brings together the city's music lovers for a long afternoon of drinking, dancing, and soaking up that legendary Northern Quarter vibe. At £35 a head, it's a solid investment for a full bank holiday experience in one of Manchester's best-loved independent venues.
Definitely Maybe Bar sits right in the heart of Afflecks Palace, the iconic independent shopping centre that's been a Manchester institution since the '80s. This corner of the Northern Quarter buzzes with creative energy, surrounded by vintage shops, record stores, and indie cafes, making it the perfect spot for a music-focused event. The venue itself carries serious rock credentials and a reputation for hosting authentic Manchester nights.
Getting there couldn't be easier – the Northern Quarter is just a short walk from Manchester Piccadilly or Stockport Road tram stop. Expect a friendly crowd of Manchester locals and visitors ready to make the most of their bank holiday, so arrive early if you want to bag a decent spot. Bring cash alongside your card, wear something you don't mind getting sweaty in, and prepare for proper Manchester hospitality.
