“We're incredibly proud to mark a quarter of a century" - says Hard Rock Cafe Manchester with VIP party

The milestone event welcomed an exciting mix of local influencers, radio personalities, press, and well-known Manchester faces including BBC 6 Music presenter, Chris Hawkins; members of the Manchester Basketball team; and Terry Christian from Channel 4’s cult 90s TV show, The Word, who came together to raise a glass to 25 years of music, memories, and great hospitality at the city’s iconic venue in The Printworks.

After a red carpet welcome complete with stilt walker hosts, guests enjoyed a high-energy evening of live DJ sets by Rob Fiddaman and Hits Radio’s Hattie Pearson, who kept the party going late into the night, with signature Hard Rock food and drink favourites served throughout the night.

VIP guests could also enjoy additional entertainment including a 360 degree photo booth, a 25 year anniversary-themed photo opportunity backdrop, and a ‘play for fun’ roulette table.

The evening also featured speeches and a special presentation to two long-serving team members, Operations Manager Gillian Carroll and Adam Smith, Purchasing & Receiving Overseer, who have been at the restaurant since it opened its doors in 2000.

Aneta Jarzmik, General Manager at Hard Rock Cafe Manchester said: “Our milestone anniversary celebration was a tribute to everyone who has been part of our journey since the year 2000; from our loyal guests to our dedicated team members, some who have been with the restaurant since day one, and the amazing talent and partners who joined us at the party.

“We're incredibly proud to mark a quarter of a century - and all of the amazing achievements, charity initiatives, and memorable celebrations we’ve been home to over the years; we’re excited for what the next 25 years has to offer!”
