England

The next in the series of Greater Manchester Grommoffs for May targeting the areas of Greater Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, and Sheffield, but welcome to all.

It's that time of year again and were planning the usual trips to the buffets of Manchester during the Bear Bash with a twist.

Please Note: there is an RSVP/booking by the 25th of April on a few parts as well as ticket purchases for others so please let me know what you will be at so I know who's coming :) this also adds you to the reminders list.

Due to the nature of the Bear Bash some dates/times may change but I'll keep you up to date with whats going on as we get closer to May but so far:
