Want to celebrate the BRITs with Hennessy? Here’s how

February gets a bad rep for being damp and dreary, but anyone with a passion for fame and fashion will know that it’s truly the most wonderful time of the year: awards season. While most of the major events take place across the pond, everyone knows that BRITs do it better (get it?), and official cognac partner of this year’s BRIT Awards, Hennessy, has cottoned onto this. Take it from me, no one loves to party like a Northerner, so there’s really no better brand to host the Manchester ceremony’s events programme.

Whether or not you’re lucky enough to make it to the awards ceremony itself, Hennessy has got a stacked line-up of events taking place across the city to celebrate Northern music and nightlife culture. Leading Hennessy’s takeover of the city is Mollie’s Studio IV, hosting a speakeasy-style hub from 16 February to 9 March, and Off The Square hosting DJ sets from BRITs nominees. Essentially, there’s something for everyone and your nan.

The events don’t stop there, though. Check out Hennessy’s full programme here:
