Kimpton Clocktower Hotel is inviting everyone to “Feel Good This Summer” – a delightful series of events aiming to bring joy to both the body and soul and will be hosted at The Refuge’s outdoor terrace space.
Every Saturday through August, the venue will offer a wellness schedule, culminating in the Come As You Are weekender Pride takeover, running from Friday 25 – Sunday 27 August. The line-up promises a summer filled with wellness classes, live music, and an ambiance inspired by Italy’s beautiful Amalfi Coast.

In collaboration with Emma of Thorlby Yoga and artist Caroline Dowsett, the hotel is introducing a mindfulness event on Saturday 5 August and Saturday 19 August- starting with a 30-minute guided meditation session by Emma, followed by a creative art workshop led by Caroline. This accessible event is open to all skill levels. Tickets are £45 and available here.
Feel Good Terrace with Malfy Gin
The Refuge’s terrace is transforming into an Italian-inspired paradise, complete with themed cocktails like Malfy Gin-infused slushes and spritzes. A selection of the city’s DJs will provide entertainment every Saturday, creating a lively atmosphere from 2 pm until late.
Manchester Pride and the Return of Come As You Are Weekender
