CO-OP LIVE UNVEILS HIDEAWAY: A NEWLY DESIGNED PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP EXPERIENCE CURATED BY CELEBRITY CHEF AND LOCAL RESTAURATEUR SIMON RIMMER
14 October 2024
Co-op Live is proud to announce the launch of Hideaway, the reimagined premium experience curated by renowned celebrity chef Simon Rimmer, best known for his lead appearance on Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch and Manchester’s own Albert’s Schloss. Hideaway represents the next evolution in the arena’s premium offerings, combining exceptional dining, live entertainment, and luxurious surroundings with a party atmosphere.
The new design and offering of Hideaway replaces the former Decibel Lounge and is now the only premium membership still available at Co-op Live, with all other experiences across the venue having sold out. Hideaway membership includes tickets to the venue’s most coveted seating for all publicly ticketed events in section 103, as well as entry to Hideaway before and after shows – offering a one-of-a-kind space where guests can unwind and savour a Mediterranean-inspired menu created exclusively by Simon Rimmer.
Simon Rimmer, celebrated for his culinary creativity and love of Mediterranean cuisine, has designed a menu that elevates late-night dining. Guests will enjoy Mediterranean street food with a twist, featuring exquisite kebabs and small plates that reimagine pre- and post-show quick bites, in a fittingly designed environment.
To complement the dining experience, Hideaway will offer expertly crafted cocktails with Hennessy Cognac that perfectly pair with the flavours of the menu. Early members will also receive a personalized liquor locker with a bottle of Hennessy Paradis or Armand De Brignac included to celebrate their membership.
“The redesign of Hideaway marks a significant moment in our continued journey to deliver unrivalled premium experiences at Co-op Live,” said Sam Piccione III, OVG International President of Sales. “With Simon Rimmer’s involvement, we are taking things to the next level – creating a destination designed for music lovers, combining great music with outstanding food, cocktails and Champagne, in a stylish party atmosphere that makes experiencing live music at Co-op Live unforgettable.”
Hideaway’s interiors reflect a sophisticated Mediterranean style, with cosy nooks and plush seating that invite guests to celebrate in a luxurious setting. It is the perfect spot to gather before and after events, offering a holistic experience that keeps the energy going. The space will also feature live DJs and live performances, aligning with the theme of the main live event in the arena, further enhancing the pre- and post-show vibes.
Hideaway is Co-op Live’s hidden gem, offering a discreet and sophisticated retreat for members who seek the ultimate premium party experience. In addition to the exclusive access to the space, members benefit from premium ticketed location near the stage for all concerts and live events, making Hideaway the perfectly unique place to enjoy Manchester’s vibrant music and live event scene.
