Black Friday - which this year falls on Friday, November 25 - is synonymous with frenzied shopping and half price TVs.

But this year there's an unusual addition to the high street dash: PIES.

Norther Quarter pie specialists Pieminister have announced they will be giving away hundreds of pies from their shop on 53 Church Street from 8.30am on Black Friday.

While there's no set price, Pieminister is asking for a donation in return for a pie, and all the money raised on the day will go directly to the housing and homeless charity Shelter.

According to Pieminister, Black Pieday is an opportunity for the people of Manchester to spend their money wisely, giving to charity in return for delicious pies.

Although pies are sold fresh in-store, those given away on the day are a mixture which have been frozen to avoid wastage. Free range British chicken pies, British steak pies and Vegetarian Society Approved pies could all be on the menu, but you're best to arrive early to avoid disappointment.

Pieminister co-founder and MD Jon Simon said: “With many of us gearing up for a Black Friday spending spree this Friday, we wanted to turn this event on its head and use it to do something good.

"Shelter helps millions of people struggling with bad housing or homelessness every year and Black Pieday is a chance to support the charity and get a pie in return."
