Two popular foodhalls in Greater Manchester are to close tomorrow (July 19) amid the 'red warning' heatwave. Mackie Mayor in the city centre and Altrincham Market are closing their food and drinks halls to look after the welfare of their staff and customers alike, they say.
The popular food and drinks halls, as well as the Picturedome in Macclesfield, made the announcement on social media this morning, saying they would be reopen on Wednesday with a 'much more manageable temperature'. The outdoor market and New Market Square will remain open at the Altrincham site, with just the indoor food and drinks area closed.
Mackie Mayor, on Eagle Street in Ancoats, posted on their Instagram: "STAY COOL.. Due to the mad temperatures predicted on Tuesday (19th) we’ve decided to close for the day.. for the welfare of our staff and customers. Sorry for the inconvenience but don’t worry.. we’ll be back to normal on Wednesday with a much more manageable temperature."
