My hooman Daddies finally remembered who REALLY runs this household… ME, obviously! Today, I treated my two personal chauffeurs to a little road trip to @Heaton_Park! Naturally, I travelled VIP class because this pugcess doesn’t do economy!

First up… an autumn walk around the lake! My Daddies called it a “relaxing stroll.” ERRR, EXCUSE ME?! This was a highly impawtant SNIFFARI! There were leaves to investigate, squirrels to judge, 467 smells to sniff and approximately 83 urgent wee-mails to send!

Then came the REAL reason I agreed to leave my throne (the sofa)… BREAKFAST! Off to @HeatonParkCafes, where my Daddies had the absolute AUDACITY to order food and think they wouldn’t be sharing! RUDE. VERY RUDE. Cue the sad pug eyes, tactical head tilt and my award-winning performance of “Nobody Has Fed Me Since 1847!”

Fresh autumn air, crunchy leaves, two well-trained hooman Daddies and one ridiculously gorgeous pugcess! What a PAWFECT Monday! Now I’m absolutely EX-PUG-STED! Time for 17 hours of snoring, farting and beauty sleep!

Pug & kisses, @BelleThePugMCR! CEO of Sniffing, Breakfast Begging & Managing My Two Hooman Daddies! 🐶🐾🍂

FONTAINES D.C. / DARKNESS ON A GRAND SCALE.

Synths, strings and uneasy love songs. On Dopamine Chamber, Fontaines D.C. continue stretching their sound — with plenty of darkness beneath the beautiful surface.

Our latest feature explores the new record, its standout moments and the prospect of hearing these songs take over Heaton Park next summer.

Following their Wythenshawe Park show in 2025, the Manchester story continues on 3 + 4 July 2027, with Little Simz and Viagra Boys joining the bill.

Swipe through for the album review and our Heaton Park preview.

What would your opening three songs be? 👇

Manchester Cars & Coffee is coming back in 2027!

Before Covid, we brought car enthusiasts together at Barton Airport. Now we’re delighted to be planning the event’s return to Manchester — and we’re looking for a bigger, better venue. We’ll announce the new location soon, so keep watching this page!

We’re also thrilled that the event will be hosted by the one and only Steve Berry, former Top Gear presenter and automotive journalist.

We’re inviting the whole automotive community to get involved: dealers, car clubs, traders, businesses and petrol heads of every kind. Whether you’d like to display a vehicle, support the event or help make it happen, we’d love to hear from you. Drop us a message.

Manchester Cars & Coffee will support Sopwith Coffee Company, which helps veterans and emergency services personnel affected by PTSD. It’s a chance to share our love of cars while giving something back to the people who have served and protected us.

Let’s bring the community together for a great event and a cause that matters. We hope you’ll be part of it.

Check us out at https://sopwithcoffee.com
