In what can only be described as spectacular timing, Aperol, the popular Italian aperitivo, will take over Manchester’s Oast House over the next couple of weeks, as the bar’s outdoor terrace is turned into a beautiful Italian square, Piazza Aperol. To celebrate the return of the Italian-inspired al fresco terrace, the bar will also be giving out 200 free Aperol Spritz.
Fully decked out with orange trees, Fiat 500s in Aperol’s signature orange, swing seats and art deco street lights, Piazza Aperol will be open from Thursday, July 14 until Sunday, July 24, excluding Monday July 18. Transporting city dwellers from the hustle and bustle of Manchester, the Piazza will also feature cafe-style seating and a double-tier Aperol Spritz Bar as well.
Loris Contro, Campari Group UK Italian Icons Brand Ambassador, said “The Italian piazza is the beating heart of any town or city, where family and friends come together to mark the end of the working day, and the beginning of the evening to come. With this summer set to be more sociable than ever, Piazza Aperol will transport you to Italy with its celebration of the spontaneous and joyful, continental way of life.
“As an Italian, I know how important embracing these moments is, and what better way to do it than in the sunshine with a perfectly poured Aperol Spritz and good company?”
Danny Leach, General Manager of The Oast House said: “Following the success of last year’s Aperol Spritz & Spiaggia – which truly helped visitors make the most of British summer time come rain or shine – we are thrilled to welcome back Aperol with its Piazza-style experience. Our customers love making the most of the longer summer evenings and now with Piazza Aperol, we can spritz up their visit with some Italian fun.”
On Friday, July 15, The Oast House will also be handing out free Aperol Spritz to celebrate the summer season. With temperatures heating up as we near the weekend the bar will be offering up 200 complimentary drinks, which will be served up from 5pm, just in time for aperitivo hour.
Whilst guests can walk in and enjoy Piazza Aperol for free, those keen to get the best seats are advised to book ahead via their website .
