Events | Festivities at the Hilton
Monday, October 09, 2017
I recently attended a blogger event at The
Hilton hotel in Manchester, the event itself was in Cloud 23 and is somewhere
I've wanted to visit for a long time. I have a slight fear of heights but a
fascination with seeing Manchester from above.
I could have happily spent all evening
staring out of the windows looking at the view.
There is also a little bit of a morbid fascination as I can see
the Hilton from my office so it was nice to see it from the opposite
view. I also might have taken some photos and sent them to our facilities
manager. I know I hold my hands up as a geek.
It felt a little odd celebrating and listening to Christmas tunes
in September but I think my inner Grinch may have left the building slightly as
it did make me feel all warm and fuzzy. Also, how sweet is this little dude.
We had a chance to try some of the party food that is on offer, I
only tried a couple of things but they were both delicious. I had sausage
wrapped in bacon and what I think was a mini Yorkshire pudding with beef and
horseradish. There were a few other interesting looking items going around
but sadly they didn’t quite reach me.
I did wonder if this Giant NOEL sign would fit anywhere in my
house. I know the answer is no but how cool would that be.
We also had a little bit of live entertainment, I didn't catch the name of the singer but he wasn't bad at all and if you watch my Random Wednesday vlog you might spot a bit of dancing (not by me!!)
Sadly I didn't know anyone at the event and I thought I'd know a few people so I settled myself in a comfy seat and watched the entertainment. I also made it so a Hollyoaks stars Instastory! (My claim to fame!! I didn't know they were from Hollyoaks but someone from work saw me on it!!!)
If you have a head for heights then Cloud 23 is a great place for a festive party. I would really like to go for Afternoon tea as that is one of my favourite things to do (can we call it a hobby?)
