All about Manchester
One of the countryās powerhouses during the Industrial Revolution ā its nickname Cottonopolis was hard-earned ā Manchesterās red brick factories and mills now sit alongside gleaming glass buildings and winding tram tracks. Known worldwide for its musical and sporting giants, this city has a doggedly independent spirit. Whether youāre touring the Theatre of Dreams or browsing the record stores beloved by members of the 1990s Britpop scene, the cityās global cultural influence is evident.
Tucked behind Piccadilly Gardens, the Northern Quarter of the city is packed with large-scale street art highlighting social issues, vintage clothing stores, and eco-conscious cafes lining Thomas Street. Once the cityās garment district, this area is home to Manchester Craft and Design Centre, which showcases independent artists and craftspeople and runs regular workshops for visitors to try their hand at glasswork and silversmithing.

There are plenty of producers to try all over the city centre, from major players to new micro-breweries.
Peopleās History Museum
