A Spice Girls-themed karaoke bottomless brunch is arriving atCookridge Street, Leeds this September and we know you Wannabe there.
Perfect for any 90s pop fan who fancies singing along to the iconic girl band’s greatest hits, this bottomless karaoke brunch promises it all: from free-flowing cocktails to the songs of your childhood on repeat, plus tasty brunch dishes to boot.
It’s been a long time coming, but now that the government’s roadmap seems to be well on its way we can finally get excited for this mega event.
Set to be "full of fun and madness", attendees at each 90-minute session are encouraged to get into the spirit of the 90s girl band and come dressed to impress by channeling their favorite Spice GIrl.
Of course, the singalong sessions are set to be the main event - but the combination of great songs, brilliant 90s outfits and unlimited drinks like aperol spritz, Ketel V&Ts, prosecco, Amstel, Heineken 0.00% and bloody marys pretty much guarantee this party is going to go off.
Brunch dishes, meanwhile, span the likes of fluffy American pancakes topped with blueberries, banana and Nutella chocolate spread; smashed avocado on toast with hot sauce, tomatoes and chilli flakes; and two different brunch grills that bring together all the best elements of a tradiional English fry up.
There's good options for vegans, veggies and those with a gluten free diet, so no matter your preferences you're sure to be well catered for here. And for those who don't feel like going bottomless, there is also a selection of soft drinks on offer.
Taking place on Sunday, 5 September, ticket prices start from £25 for food and entry with the bottomless drinks package just an additional £15 on top. For 90 minutes of free-flowing cocktails, beers and wines, that's not too shabby in our opinion.

Yorkshire residents are being invited to name two new bin lorries
Clementine Hall
Well...this is a new one.
Ever fancied naming a bin lorry? Well today is your lucky day, because now you can.
Yorkshire-based waste management experts Divert are celebrating the arrival of two swanky new tbin rucks by inviting the local community to help name them.
The iconic purple bins, vans and trucks can be seen across the Yorkshire area helping to clean up waste from Bradford to Harrogate.
Two new lorries are set to be joining the fleet in April and May, and of course they need a name.
And who better to ask than the general public? The winning names will be added to the cabs of each of the trucks for all to see, and announced via the Divert website and social media channels.
Absolutely anyone from across the UK is welcome to take part, but the company are especially keen for people from Yorkshire to enter.
You can be as creative as you like, but there are a couple of rules...
No swearing or offensive names. Aside from that, you can let your freak flag fly.
The Divert team are keen to hear the 'best celebrity puns, local namesakes, and downright silly names' the public have to offer.
John Verity, Managing Director of Divert, comments: “Naming our bin trucks is a great way to bring some joy to the local community. We hope to bring a smile to the faces of passing drivers and pedestrians as our fleet passes by.
“Not only that, naming our lorries can help our drivers to take pride and ownership in the vehicles they drive and be a key reminder of our engagement within the community. We’re always keen to employ any initiatives that help the public to engage with us and ensure we’re seen as a friendly face in the area.”
Winners will be voted for by the team internally, and the competition closes at 5 pm on 31 March 2026.
