vibrancy and excitement that surrounds the city.

Explore our online features for an array of goodies,
from upmarket shops in Exchange Square, trendy
beatnik boutiques and cafes of the Northern Quarter to
Canal Street's delightful bars and restaurants. Take a
trip to the wonderful Northern metropolis and while
you're there, pop into our lovely Manchester shop!

Manchester's art & craft scene can be found
everywhere you go, from knitting groups to craft co-ops. Communitiesare coming

for people watching

Still a hub for musical talent, there's a lot
more to the Manc music scene than its Brit
pop bands and prodigal sons.

The Mancunian accent is more subtle than

Beyond the 'theatre of dreams', Manchester
has some surprising and unusual
sporting customs.
