And boy can these guys celebrate in style... but what would you expect from the UK's largest independent luxury retail group?

Being situated in Manchester's newest shopping destination for international luxury brands, the stunning new store is set across two floors, offering a collection of top international designers including Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Tom Ford, and many more.Beautiful themed drinks were served on the night as guests enjoyed English themed canapés including mini newspaper wrapped fish & chips and cottage pies – all provided by The Alchemist cocktail bar just around the corner. And as an additional treat guests were also treated to His and Her cupcakes as specially made by Hey Little Cupcake, yum yum!

The evening's entertainment was provided by Frisky & Mannish, who made special one off appearance outside of their current tour. The comedy-music double act made up of Lady Fitz Frisky and Hansel Amadeus Mannish delighted crowds with their flamboyant pop posturing and music-mash-ups that payed homage to some of pop music's greatest contributors, from Brandy and Monica to Freddie Mercury.
