For those looking for somewhere to soak up the atmosphere without squeezing into a packed pub, Mollie’s Manchester has launched a series of matchday experiences, complete with dedicated viewing spaces, sharing menus and even complimentary food and drinks for designated drivers.

The design-led hotel and diner, which opened in Manchester earlier this year, will be screening key fixtures throughout the tournament, including England’s remaining group-stage matches, the knockout rounds, semi-finals and the World Cup final on 19 July.
