Mordern, Free, Best Art Museums in Huddersfield Narrow Canal

"As the name suggests, the Imperial War Museum takes visitors on a walk through military history. There is a range of interactive and static exhibits here and the museum sits on The Quays, another iconic area of Manchester. Afterwards, pop over to Elnecot for a tasty bite to eat."

"A visit to the museum will help you explore how modern conflicts have affected the British society at large. The Imperial War Museum North is in Greater Manchester. It sits inside an unmissable aluminium building designed by Daniel Libeskind."

"From Wednesday May 19, the stunning Whitworth gallery will be partially reopen to the public, with a film screening of Imran Perretta: the destructors on display. The cafe will be back open too, but the full gallery will be up and running again by July 1, in time for its MIF21 summer exhibition. Plan your visit at whitworth.manchester.ac.uk/visit."

"The Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester has a very Instagrammable restaurant. With all glass walls it feels like your in the middle of nature. You have beautiful views over the park in which you can find the Whitworth Gallery."

"The museums in Salford give the very essence of its citizens and rich culture. If you are looking for something deeper and more meaningful, head to the museums in city. Explore the cultural, artistic, scientific, or historical side of Salford with these museums."

"CFCCA is the UK leader in Chinese visual culture, with a reputation for debut solo exhibitions and a roster of internationally-renowned artists; impressive considering that, three decades ago, it was just a series of events in Manchester’s Chinatown. As Manchester’s Chinese population is second only to London’s, the centre’s heritage is particularly important; now represented in a new archive and library. Best feature: A vibrant events schedule, spanning film screenings to workshops and even Mandarin lessons"

"Centre For Chinese Contemporary Art is a unique art gallery with a year-round programme of socially engaged exhibitions, events, and artist residencies. They have over 30 years experience of working with emerging and established artists to provide a space for conversation, debate, and cross-cultural exchange. They are the go-to place to discover new artists and explore relevant global issues from different international perspectives."

"Manchester's Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art will reopen both of its galleries on Wednesday May 19. Exhibitions Multiplicities in Flux and Autopsy of a Home, which originally opened in October, will be back until June 13. Booking is advised at cfcca.org.uk but walk-ups are welcome."

"One of England's most impressive collections of sculpture is scattered across the formidable 18th-century estate of Bretton Park, 200-odd hectares of lawns, fields and trees. A bit like the art world's equivalent of a safari park, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park showcases the work of dozens of sculptors both national and international. The park is partly a homage to local heroes Barbara Hepworth (1903−75), who was born in Wakefield, and Henry Moore (1898−1986), though more of their works are on display at the Hepworth Wakefield."

"This outdoor gallery near Wakefield is in a former 18th-century estate encompassing more than 500 acres of fields, lakes, exotic trees,…"

"Contemporary Six – The Gallery is a leading independent art gallery located in the heart of the city centre of Manchester opposite the beautiful Town Hall. Established in 2010 by Alex Reuben, the gallery is known for offering a warm and friendly welcome to art enthusiasts, collectors, and new visitors and explorers to the city.

"From Darrell Evanes’ scrap metal sculpture to Matthew Bourne’s natural abstracts, Contemporary Six’s repertoire is all encompassing. Having outgrown its former location of Royal Exchange Arcade, the gallery - founded by Alex Reuben in 2010 - now occupies an airy space on Princess Street, where it represents around 40 artists. Best feature: Contemporary Six offers the Own Art Scheme, which allows buyers to pay in monthly instalments"

"Reformed chicken flattener, Dan Hope’s vegan food empire is expanding as rapidly as our lockdown waistlines. His Detroit-inspired vegan pizza gaff opens today, fittingly in the space vacated by Manchester’s long-standing Earth Cafe. Hopefully it will be able to open for eat-in customers soon."

"Opening January 4, this new vegan Detroit-style pizzeria is opening in the former Earth Cafe site in the Northern Quarter. Toppings for their 48-hour focaccia-style pizza dough include seitan ‘pepperoni’, Char Sui tofu. They will be able to order on Deliveroo when they open."

"Common’s social media humour has kept us all going through those ‘if we don’t laugh, we’ll cry’ moments of the pandemic and selling Nell’s pizzas has probably kept them going too. Now also available from The Beagle in Chorlton, these massive 22” pizzas (also available by the slice) come in non-vegan flavours too but even if you’re not doing veganuary their vegan slices are well worth your time. The Veganic features mushrooms, roast garlic cashew cream, chilli, ‘forza win sauce’ and thyme - who needs a load of PVA-glue-esque vegan cheese with all that going on?"

"There’ll be a point during Veganuary when all you want is a massive cheesy pizza and Nell’s is there to provide with four vegan options available to order as a 14” or the huge 22” version. Options include the Vegan Deluxe with artichokes, marinated peppers, red onion and vegan n’duja and the Veganic with mushrooms, roasted garlic cashew cream, forza win sauce, chilli and thyme. Available to order via Deliveroo from their kitchens at Common in Northern Quarter and The Beagle in Chorlton."

"Last but definitely not least is Nell’s Pizza – who really switched up the Manchester pizza scene for us this year. A market that is dominated with Neapolitan pizza, Nell’s brought proper New York-style slices to us every week at Common – and they’ve since become a more permanent fixture for us to enjoy. Think slices bigger than your head and whopping 22-inch pizzas, with classic cheese, pepperoni, and more to choose from."

"You can hear the flow of water below the drain covers on Springvale Road, Crookes. This isn’t any old sewer but the modified course of a stream which flows down the valley and into the Don. The stream, now part of a sewer, was once fed by several springs in the valley, hence the name Springvale."

"Very much a “locals” pub, located in Crookesmoor, this pub has a massive garden at the back which becomes something of a “sun trap” during the summer months. The beer isn’t too expensive, and it’s right opposite Rajput for a curry afterwards."

"A lovely spacious pub with a range of beers at great prices. Sport on the TV to while away those lazy weekend days."
