To celebrate, Port Street Beer House will be getting some Nell’s Pizza delivered for the first intrepid souls to venture and pick up their QR code that will grant exclusive access tickets for Indy Man, while down in Chorlton they’ll be pouring tasters from a yet-to-be-revealed bottle from the cellar to those who are there from 6pm. Extremely limited supply, first come, first served.

QR codes will be available until 9pm, and will only be available at the event itself. A phone, or laptop, will be required to gain access, and please note there will be no physical ticket sales at the events themselves.
