January in Greater Manchester is far from a quiet start to the year. From the high-octane drama of the Premier League to the timeless elegance of West End theatre, the city’s calendar is packed with must-see moments.
To truly enjoy these highlights, the journey should be as refined as the destination. This month, elevate your travel plans with Executive Chauffeur Service. Whether you prefer the sleek, executive presence of the Jaguar XJ or the commanding luxury of the Range Rover Sport, we ensure you arrive in total comfort.
Manchester’s theatre scene is thriving this January, offering everything from family classics to gritty dramas.
Begin the month with the magical production of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe at The Lowry (until 11 Jan), or enjoy the cinematic charm of Singin’ in the Rain at the Royal Exchange Theatre (until 25 Jan). For those seeking powerful storytelling, Aaron Sorkin’s To Kill A Mockingbird visits The Lowry (13–24 Jan), while the Palace Theatre hosts the soulful energy of The Bodyguard (19–31 Jan). Finally, for a touch of midnight glamour, the O2 Apollo welcomes the "Queen of Burlesque," Dita Von Teese, for her new show Nocturnelle on 26 January.
The Chauffeur Experience: A night at the theatre is an occasion. Our Jaguar XJ provides the ultimate sophisticated backdrop for your evening, allowing you to bypass the wind and rain of a Manchester winter and step directly onto the red carpet.
The sporting world turns its eyes to Manchester this month with several blockbuster fixtures. The football action starts early with Manchester City vs. Chelsea (4 Jan) at the Etihad. However, the crown jewel is the Manchester Derby at Old Trafford on 17 January—a fixture where the atmosphere is electric and the traffic is notoriously difficult.
Beyond the pitch, boxing fans can witness Moses Itauma vs. Jermaine Franklin at Co-op Live (24 Jan), while rugby enthusiasts can head to the Salford Community Stadium for Sale Sharks vs. Northampton Saints (24 Jan).
The Chauffeur Experience: Match days mean road closures and congestion. Our Range Rover Sport is the perfect vehicle for navigating the city's sporting hubs, offering a spacious, leather-clad sanctuary to discuss tactics before kick-off.
Music lovers are spoilt for choice this January. Experience the majesty of Queen by Candlelight at the Manchester Opera House (9 Jan) or catch arena-sized performances from Biffy Clyro (17 Jan) and All Time Low (23 Jan) at Co-op Live.
For fans of musical theatre, The National Lottery’s Big Night of Musicals hits the AO Arena on 26 January, while those seeking an intimate, atmospheric vibe can catch White Lies at the Albert Hall (27 & 29 Jan).
The Chauffeur Experience: Why wait in a cold taxi queue after a sell-out concert? Your chauffeur will be waiting at a pre-arranged point, ready to whisk you home in the warmth of a climate-controlled cabin.
Manchester’s cultural venues are hosting several unique events this month. The Manchester Motor Show returns to Manchester Central (10 Jan), showcasing the future of automotive tech. For those dreaming of summer, the Destinations: The Holiday & Travel Show (15–18 Jan) is a must-visit at the same venue.
If you are looking for something truly unique, the Luminiscence light experience at Manchester Cathedral (starts 16 Jan) offers a 360° sensory journey, while the Manchester Improvisation Festival at The Carlton Club (28 Jan) celebrates the very best in spontaneous music and art.
