Channel 4’s First Dates is back on our screens – for a special, festive serving of hopeful flirtations and ‘could this be love at first sight?’
While it isn’t clear where tonight’s episode was filmed, the show most recently moved to Manchester last year after 15 series in London.
While the location moved, not much else changed. Host Fred Sirieix is still playing cupid and his trusted co-workers Cici and Grant are still around to lending a helping hand – along with new staff members Daniella, David and Fiona.
In tonight’s Christmas special, guests include a jeweller and a portrait artist who is on the look-out for a wife, a vicar and a parish worker with a penchant for dad jokes, a DJ and the self -proclaimed Queen of Christmas who bond over beatboxing and Arsenal, and a pair of students – one of whom has never had a relationship longer than three hours.
But where is First Dates filmed and can you go to the restaurant?
Where Is First Dates Manchester filmed?
First Dates Manchester is filmed at The Anthologist in Manchester’s St Peter’s Square.
The restaurant and cocktail bar is owned by Drake and Morgan and offers all-day dining from Tuesday to Sunday.
You can follow the restaurant on Instagram to keep up to date on opening times, events and new offers.
Diners have a wealth of food to choose from as the extensive menu offers a range of mains, including salads and burgers, as well as sharing boards, and desserts.
Last year’s Manchester debut series was filmed at The Refinery, which was located in the city’s Spinningfield area, but it has since shut its doors permanently.
Where was the original First Dates filmed?
The original First Dates series is filmed at Paternoster Chop House near St Paul’s Cathedral in London.
It is still open and located at 35 Old Bailey in the centre of the capital.
