Some of Manchester’s best-known restaurants are uniting for a city-wide fundraising takeover in memory of much-loved hospitality king Tim Bacon.
Manchester's restaurant titans including Grand Pacific, Australasia, San Carlo, Bull and Bear, Hawksmoor, 20 Stories, Tattu and more will all take part in the huge fundraising night where guests will get to dine in a restaurant of their choice before joining guests to party into the early hours together at Albert Hall.
It follows the first Dream the Impossible event held in 2017, when a similar city centre restaurant takeover raised over £500,000 for The Christie Hospital, where Tim was treated before his death aged just 52 in 2016.

Now the "Dream the Impossible: Sequel" will be held at some of the city's most popular restaurants on Thursday, September 8.
Tim's Living Venture's business partner Jeremy Roberts has announced the plans today, and his aim to bring 1,300 people together dining at top restaurants across the city centre before gathering at the Albert Hall for music and dancing at the culmination of the night.
Aussie entrepreneur Bacon, with his partner Jeremy Roberts, founded and built the Living Ventures empire of leisure brands including The Living Room, The Botanist, The Alchemist, Gusto, Australasia and Grand Pacific.
Jeremy set up the Tim Bacon Foundation to raise money for cancer charities in his honour, and since the first event the foundation has continued its work, raising close to £1m.
The evening will repeat the formula of the first event, with diners buying tickets for dinner and drinks at Living Ventures’ restaurants and joined this time by other leading Manchester eateries.
