The viral Rant & Ramble wellness movement taking social media by storm is officially bringing its iconic Coffee Rave experience to Manchester for the very first time, and where better to launch than the incredible Co-op Live, at their recently unveiled Canalside venue?
Founded by Leesa Collinge, Rant & Ramble Wellbeing has built a hugely engaged community through its feel-good mix of sunrise walks, luxury retreats and high-energy alcohol-free Coffee Raves. What started in York has quickly become one of the UK’s most talked about wellbeing movements, gaining national attention across social media, TV, radio and press.
Now, following a string of sold out events and over a million views online, Rant & Ramble is officially launching its UK Coffee Rave Tour starting in Manchester in collaboration with Co-op Live.

Rant & Ramble Founder, Leesa Collinge said: “We created Coffee Raves to make people feel alive again. There is something so powerful about starting your morning surrounded by music, movement, energy and connection.
“Watching hundreds of people dance together with a coffee in hand before 9am is honestly magic. Launching Manchester with Co-op Live feels huge for us and we cannot wait.”
