What will Charlotte be up to?
On Monday, January 20, from 1pm to 3pm, the public will have the chance to virtually meet Charlotte as she takes over the Manchester venue’s iconic gaming screen.
Known for her infectious energy, Charlotte will be live streaming straight to passers-by, spreading smiles, dishing out compliments, and turning an ordinary afternoon into a celebration of good vibes.
