Most UK cities try to market themselves as the perfect venue for a weekend getaway, citing their fabulous shopping and culture as reasons to visit. But some are better than others. Manchester has a great deal to offer the city break visitor. What’s more, with a hotel for everyone, Manchester can be the perfect home from home for a weekend of fun.
Thanks to the city’s rich history, there is a fantastic museum of science and industry, which offers educational fun for kids and grownups alike. There are 15 art galleries, set in beautiful Victorian buildings providing something for every art lover.
The music scene in the city has been famous in more recent years. The home of legendary band Oasis plays host to everything from orchestras to pop concerts and with several concert venues there is almost certainly something to please every taste. There are also regular plays and musical shows at the theatres.
Because of the vast number of festivals and exhibitions, places are booked in advance, so sort your hotel out early. The famous Manchester comedy festival takes place in late October and lasts ten days. And the cosmopolitan nature of the place allows for international festivals aplenty. For international food there is no better place, especially if you fancy a trip to the curry mile.
It is never hard to find a hotel, Manchester has plenty. If you want a really luxurious hotel Manchester can provide it. The Midland is situated in a beautiful building and dates back to the time of the wealthy mill owners following the industrial revolution. It is perhaps the most glamorous hotel Manchester has on offer.
