Waterside pop-up featuring beers, gins and street food is heading back to MediaCity

A popular outdoor dining concept is returning to MediaCity this summer. Following two successful year of socially distanced events, Box on the Docks returns with the support of Seven Bro7hers Brewery Co, who will operate a residency of food and drink pop-ups, alongside live music and events.

Launched in 2020 as a way to help both the hospitality industry and local artists during Covid, it featured a number of creatively decorated, socially distanced greenhouses and has proved to be a massive hit. Opening to the public on Friday June, 10, the new format will give a platform to both emerging and local food and drink brands.

Keith McAvoy, CEO of Seven Bro7hers Brewing Co, said: “This year’s Box on the Docks is set to be the best yet! The partnership gives Seven Bro7hers an opportunity to make the most of the summer footfall and visitors, and to do what we do best – celebrate great food and drink in the heart of Salford.

“MediaCity has been home to our beerhouse for 12 months. And despite challenges the pandemic has thrown at us, it continues to thrive.

"We can’t wait to expand into the Box on the Docks bar and welcome the whole site into the family this Summer.” Seven Bro7hers, who also run their popular beer house at MediaCity, will take over the Box on the Docks Bar, offering its award-winning independent beers, along with guest brews from craft local breweries including Shindigger, Manchester Union Larger and Pomona.

Josie Cahill, MediaCity Place Director added: “There’s a real buzz of excitement as we look forward to another summer of Box on the Docks. The concept was born from a need to support our local hospitality partners and we are thrilled it has continued to prove such a successful platform for independents on
