Goals 'n Grapes: FIFA World Cup England v Croatia at Wandering Palate Monton

Get ready to witness a massive World Cup clash as England takes on Croatia in what promises to be a cracking evening of football and fine wine. Goals 'n Grapes is the perfect event for anyone wanting to experience the thrill of the tournament in a more sophisticated setting than your typical sports bar, combining live football action with quality drinks and great atmosphere. Whether you're a die-hard England fan or simply fancy a night out with fellow football enthusiasts, this free event on Wednesday 17 June 2026 is unmissable for anyone in Greater Manchester.

Wandering Palate in Monton is one of Manchester's best-loved independent wine bars, known for creating a welcoming vibe that brings the community together. The venue perfectly bridges the gap between casual sports watching and upmarket socialising, making it ideal for enjoying the match without sacrificing comfort or style.

Head to Monton high street for this 19:00 kick-off and expect a buzzing crowd of passionate fans in an intimate setting where you'll actually be able to chat with fellow supporters. The 18+ age restriction keeps the atmosphere mature and focused on enjoying quality football and company. Get there early to grab a good spot and settle in with a drink before the action begins.
