Candlelight: Queen and ABBA
When Thu 15 OctWhere Manchester Cathedral, Victoria Street, Manchester M3 1SXPrice From £21
Hundreds of real candles, a Gothic cathedral nave, and a string quartet working through "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Dancing Queen" back to back — it shouldn't work as well as it does, but the setting turns familiar songs into something genuinely goosebump-inducing. Sixty minutes, no interval, no filler.
A proper date-night option that doesn't require a gig-going personality — seated, atmospheric, and over in time for a late dinner in the Northern Quarter.
