This coming week in Manchester:

Yesterday: UFC female bantamweight champ Amanda Nunes favourited my tweet! She's an incredible fighter.

There's a few things you might want to get involved in if you're into creativity or just like a party.

Tuesday at 7pm sees the first meetup of new group Manchester Creatives Network. If you're writing, painting, filming, photographing or whatever else creative, and like a drink, this one's for you. The attendee list has quickly rocketed to 45, and is likely to grow further in the next 24 hours. We'll be meeting in Russian-themed bar Kosmonaut in the Northern Quarter.

On Saturday night Manchester Cool Bars is meeting again, this time in Artisan. The Spinningfields bar is possibly my favourite out of all the nightspots in Manchester for its décor, music and atmosphere. The cocktails are delicious too. My original plan for this meetup was to join here and make a decision as a group as to where we headed to next. We might go to swanky nightclub Panacea. We might look around some of the local bars. We might stay in Artisan. But essentially, we decide as a group.

I already have events lined up for next week too. Stay tuned!
