The Oast House's winter Teepee has reopened in Spinningfields for another season, with live music every night, a Staropramen bar and a rotisserie chicken menu. It opened on Saturday 10 October and, according to the venue, will stay open seven days a week throughout winter.

The Manchester Evening News highlighted the Teepee's return in its weekend what's-on guide for 10-11 October, calling it "iconic". The Oast House's own website bills it as "Manchester's most iconic winter venue" and says it is back with fires, fairy lights, faux fur throws and tank-fresh Staropramen.

What's on: The Oast House's weekly Open House live music programme has moved indoors into the Teepee for the season. About Manchester reports that this includes Bandeoke, Musical Bingo, Retro Sounds and Oast Acoustic sessions, with a different soundtrack each night. The venue's free monthly live music festival, Oast House Live, will also take place inside the Teepee on the last Saturday of every month, which means the next one falls on Saturday 31 October.

Food: the kitchen serves a 12-hour brined rotisserie chicken with sides, and the venue's website says Sunday roast comes with chicken butter roasties and bottomless chicken gravy.

Opening day: to mark the reopening, the venue offered free pints of Staropramen to the first 450 guests on Saturday 10 October, according to the Manchester Evening News and About Manchester. That offer has now passed.

Opening times: The Oast House lists its general opening hours as 11am to 11pm Monday to Wednesday and Sunday, 11am to 1am on Thursday, and 10am to 1am on Friday and Saturday. Tables of six or more can be booked through the venue's website. Hours can change, so check with the venue before you go.

Where: The Oast House, The Avenue Courtyard, Spinningfields, Crown Square, Manchester M3 3AY. The venue's phone number is 0161 829 3830.

The Manchester Evening News' weekend guide also covered other events on 10-11 October, including Freight Island's Oktoberfest finale, Grimmfest at ODEON Manchester Great Northern and the Peel Park projections in Salford. Those have all now finished.
