Greggs bringing festive bake brunch and sausage roll-inspired cocktails to Manchester - and tickets are a fiver

There's many positives to be drawn from the Christmas period and the return of one particular baked good has to be up there. And this year, to celebrate the beginning of the festive season, Greggs has announced it will be hosting a series of 'Festive Bake Brunches' across the country and the return of it much-loved Festive Bake.

Greggs' first-of-its-kind pop-up will offer guests the chance to share exclusive sharing platters, and sip on prosecco and 'handcrafted' cocktails with a seasonal twist. The tour will be stopping off in three locations, and lucky for us Manchester will be its second pitstop in mid-November.

While visitors tuck into platters of sausage rolls, Festive Bakes and sweet treats, there will also be a variety of Greggs-inspired beverages including a Sausage Roll Sour, Greggspresso Martini, Sugar Strand Daiquiri, Greggs No-Aperol Spritz and Festive Fizz. There will also be a number non-alcoholic options on offer.
