A new free Fanzone will open at Medlock Square for the first time ahead of City’s Barclays Women’s Super League clash at the Etihad Stadium this Sunday.

For the first time, supporters will be able to enjoy our brand-new Medlock Square Fanzone before City take on Arsenal on Sunday 4 October.

Located between the Pep Guardiola Stand and the Etihad Campus tram stop, Medlock Square will offer a relaxed space for fans to enjoy the build-up to kick-off, with activities for all ages and food and drink available from Brickworks Market Hall, and City Hall Bars.

Blend, Little Beast and Three Rivers

You can also elevate your matchday experience further by paying a visit to Blend, Little Beast and Three Rivers, three stunning food and drink spaces that have recently opened at Medlock Square.

Blend is a relaxed café/bar that effortlessly transitions from a cozy retreat during the day to an intimate bar at night.

Serving specialty coffee and artisanal pastries by day, curated wines and craft beers provide the centrepiece for a memorable evening.

Open from 12:00-22:00, Little Beast serves a menu of small plates built around the best British ingredients available throughout the year, as well as a carefully selected wine list and cocktail menu.

On matchdays, the restaurant offers a seasonally changing set menu, providing a new option for supporters looking to dine before or after a game.

Three Rivers Brasserie & Bar – named after the Medlock, Irk and Irwell which run through Manchester - offers a sophisticated all-day dining experience within the new Medlock Hotel.

Expect British produce, international flair, showstopping salads, craveable classics, bold desserts, and excellent wines.

Big welcome, big flavours, big service, big heart.
