Hallé Supper Club
Ian Jones, Food and Drink EditorWhen it comes to music, history and food, Manchester leads the way. Experience an evening which combines them all, at the Summer Solstice Hallé Supper Club, held, naturally, at Hallé St Peter’s.
You can expect an informal meal inspired by historic menus kept safe for 165 years in the Hallé’s archive. Fitting for Ancoats, regularly described as one of the world’s ‘coolest’ areas, it’ll be a laid-back affair – a relaxed two-course meal with drinks, designed by Café Cotton. As well as using fresh, seasonal produce, the dishes will be inspired by the ingredients and choices of Hallé conductors over the years.
Best of all, just like all the best and most enjoyable supper clubs, food will be served in large sharing platters along the middle of communal tables. Naturally, vegan and vegetarian options will be available.
Inspiration comes from dinner parties hosted by Hallé St Peters’ founder, Charles Hallé, and his successors. Sir Charles understood the importance of community and coming together, and this experience will connect these timeless values with the 21st century.
Thanks to the National Lottery Heritage Fund, discounted tickets are available for Ancoats residents. But whether you’re an Ancoats resident or not, act quick as tickets are selling fast, and the previous event in March sold out in record time. There are two nights to choose from: Thursday 20 June or Friday 21 June 2024.
Whether you’re a seasoned supper clubber, or looking to try something new, this promises to be a highlight of the culinary season.
