Aperol's beach pop-up brings a taste of Italian culture to the UK and it simultaneously plays into the rise of staycations. The Aperol Spritz & Spiaggia is complete with its own white sandy beach, an outdoor beach bar, a jet ski and a Fiat 500 in brand colors. On-site, adults have the option of choosing from cabana-style seating or bar swings.
Every day, the beach bar pop-up helps to kick off Aperitivo hour with music and light refreshments, including Aperol Spritz. Open for just a limited time in Manchester, those who miss out on the experience will get a second chance when the pop-up makes its way to the Isle of Wight Festival, helping to satisfy a sense of wanderlust right in peoples' backyards.
