So sad the doors have closed on this fine establishment - Ben & Zoë, blossom street SOCIAL - it has been a privilege to play my treasured vinyl on your wonderful 🎧 🎶 set up, alongside FunkyDory & Neal Wainwright aka RendezVous .. thank you for your hospitality, fuelling us with your delightful charcuterie boards, fine cocktails and wines, and the laughs we shared together - I met so many fabulous DJs over the last few years 💖
Wishing you oodles of good luck and remember as one door closes, another one opens - the beat will go on and you will shine once more 💫 ###
blossom street SOCIAL closes its doors after six and a half years at the heart of the Ancoats community
When we opened blossom street SOCIAL in 2019, just months before the world changed forever, we couldn't possibly have imagined the journey ahead.
Through lockdowns, uncertainty and everything that followed, we somehow managed to build something that became far more than a wine bar.
Wine was always at the heart of what we did, but so were the conversations, the music, the art and the community that grew around it.
We've hosted tastings, exhibitions, launches, celebrations, socialsessions and countless memorable nights. We've introduced people to wines they'd never tried before, watched friendships form and shared in some truly special moments.
We've watched first dates become engagements, engagements become marriages, and couples return with babies in tow. We’ve celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, new homes and countless milestones alongside you. We’ve shared conversations, laughter, music and moments that mattered from our little corner of Ancoats. We will never forget them.
The truth is, we loved this place.
We loved opening the doors every day and never quite knowing where the evening would lead.
To every customer, artist, DJ, supplier, collaborator and friend who became part of our story — thank you.
A very special heartfelt thank you to Tom, Luke, Kitty, Emily, Phoebe and Cameron for staying with us to the very end, for believing as much as we did, for showing up when it was hard, for the solid friendship and love. We couldn’t have done this without you.
We've danced our last dance, played our last record and poured our last glass of wine in Ancoats.
But who knows what comes next.
Peace & love x
Ben, Zoe and the blossom street SOCIAL team 🍷🎶❤️
