Co-op Live, the UK’s largest live entertainment arena located in Manchester, has announced the launch of Hideaway, a new premium membership experience curated by renowned UK celebrity chef Simon Rimmer.

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.

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. Guests can unwind and savor a Mediterranean-inspired menu created exclusively by Simon Rimmer. The menu features Mediterranean street food with a twist, including exquisite kebabs and small plates that reimagine pre- and post-show quick bites.

“The redesign of Hideaway marks a significant moment in our continued journey to deliver unrivaled premium experiences at Co-op Live. 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.” -- Sam Piccione III, OVG International President of Sales

To complement the dining experience, Hideaway will offer expertly crafted cocktails with Hennessy Cognac that perfectly pair with the flavors 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.

Hideaway’s interiors reflect a sophisticated Mediterranean style, with cozy nooks and plush seating that invite guests to celebrate in a luxurious setting. 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.

Described as Co-op Live’s hidden gem, Hideaway offers a discreet and sophisticated retreat for members who seek the ultimate premium party experience. In addition to exclusive access to the space, members benefit from premium ticketed locations near the stage for all concerts and live events, making Hideaway the perfect place to enjoy Manchester’s vibrant music and live event scene.
