The huge refurbishment project at Manchester Town Hall is nearing completion - and we got a glimpse inside at how the historic landmark is now looking 🤩

The Grade I listed building has been closed to the public since 2018, but bosses say it will finally be ready to reopen in spring 2027.

Scaffolding is now coming down off the exterior of the Gothic style structure after every single stone was cleaned as part of the painstaking £524m restoration of the historic gem.

Inside, works are still underway to complete the restoration of the interiors, including the spectacular Great Hall where weddings and functions will once again resume when the works are complete.

It could be coming 🤩

It's been a rollercoaster few months for Oasis fans.

After months of rumours, and some not so subtle clues, last month, the band announced another tour for 2027 including a residency at Manchester's Etihad Stadium.

There's still seven months to go until then, but that hasn't stopped frontman Liam Gallagher from raising fans expectations in another way.

While he's kept himself busy defending Man City following the club's guilty verdict at the end of last month, he's also been responding to fans on social media about the possibility of new music 👀

Our fingers are crossed 🤞
