"The John Rylands Library is a late-Victorian neo-Gothic building that today is party of the University of Manchester Library.

Venture through the Reading Room for a vast room shot and make sure to marvel at all of the ornate wooden carvings and designs throughout the site."

"For the library lovers amongst us, the fun doesn’t end there. The John Rylands Library, now run as part of the similarly prestigious University of Manchester, is a grade 1 listed building. The library opened in 1900 at a cost of £200,000, and has been renovated on just 3 occasions over the 118 years following its emergence."

"Take a walk right down to the end of Oxford Road and you’ll find The Whitworth. An impressive and ornate red-brick structure, this popular Manchester art gallery certainly looks the part from the outside – and once inside visitors will find over 60,000 internationally important artworks to explore. Everything from weaving to sculpture is included within its recently refurbished walls – and best of all, much of it is free to explore."

"In the old Peak Hydrophathic Hotel (1880) the Buxton Museum and Gallery has exhibitions for archaeology, history and geology, all sourced in the town and the Peak District. The Wonders of the Peak exhibition is best suited for kids. This presents a timeline from the Big Bang to the Victorian period, including fossils of Pliocene mammals that once prowled the Peak District, like scimitar-toothed cats and cave lions!"

The Gallery in the Gardens is a platform for painting and arts and crafts by more than 40 local artists and craftspeople. Their works are for sale and include textiles, ceramics, paintings, calligraphy, embroidery, glass, linocuts, etchings, woodcarvings and prints."

"Since you’ll find yourself within The Pavilion Gardens, you might want to pay The Gallery in the Gardens a visit. It’s an art gallery featuring paintings, ceramics, and other crafts by local artists. Support the local artists’ high-quality masterpieces by making a purchase or two if you can."

"If you’re looking for locally crafted ceramics, prints, jewellery or art work, Manchester Craft and Design Centre is the perfect place to discover something unusual. Located in a former Victorian fish market, the beautifully restored building is home to two floors of studios, where artists, potters and craftspeople create and sell their work in one space. There’s also a great café on the ground floor and you can often discover interesting art installations or musical performances there."

"Described as ‘The place to make, see and buy contemporary craft and design in the North West’, Manchester Craft & Design Centre is situated in the centre of the city’s creative Northern Quarter. The centre has been managed by Manchester City Council since 1982 and has been helping both practitioners and design enthusiasts through its work. The centre houses 18 working studios as well as organising exhibitions and events to promote local talent."

"Manchester Craft and Design Centre is sometimes overshadowed by more popular sights, however, I think it’s a Manchester spot that shouldn’t be missed. Housed in a former fish market building, the Craft and Design Centre is now a hub for…you guessed it, craft and design. Independent entrepreneurs hire studio space where they can also sell their goods."

"The Sheffield Institute of Arts Gallery is a gallery for the people, made by the people. It showcases the very best work from the local community and visiting artists, giving a more intimate feel than any other exhibit on this list – which makes sense given that it’s connected to Sheffield Hallam University. But just because it mainly features new and upcoming artists doesn’t mean you won’t see great work; previous collaborators include David Mellow, Ken Garland, and George Grosz – all well-renowned in their field."

"Sheffield Institute of Arts Gallery is a university art gallery in Sheffield. Part of Sheffield Hallam University the gallery is based in the Furnival Building in Sheffield's Cultural Industries Quarter. It is open to the public."

"Located next to the canal off Castle Street, Dukes 92 is the perfect place to go for outdoor dining. Not only is the view charming and relaxing, but the food isn’t half bad either. And if you don’t manage to wrangle any friends for dinner, you are free to bring your dog to sit with you on the terrace!"

"Found next to Rochdale Canal, Dukes 92 is a stunning Manchester restaurant with knockout views and tasty plates. Grab a table inside, out on their riverside terrace or on their balcony and tuck into a range of small plates, sandwiches, steaks and salads by the water."

"No1 Canal Street is, as the name suggests, situated on the famous street that bares this restaurant's name. No1 combines the best British-inspired dishes with an extensive wine menu to match. This restaurant is a perfect combination of great tasting, high-quality traditional dining with affordable prices."

"Head down to Canal Street where this award-winning restaurant is serving up the goods every weekend from 11am to 4pm. Treat your hangover to Eggs Royale and few glasses of bubbly one Saturday and see if you aren't hanging around after for when the cocktails come out."

"Where: Liverpool Street, on an unlikely crossroads in Salford. Best Dish: Pig’s trotters with chilli, onion, spring onion and sesame. This restaurant of many names (Mr Fresh? Peking Duck?) offers a no holds barred Chinese menu with a Beijing accent, filled with gizzards, feet, tongue, lungs, kidneys, trotters and stewed chicken with mushrooms."

"Chinese is one of those foods that you never stop craving – so it’s pretty handy for us Salford students that the Peking Duck is only a 5 minute drive (or 15 minute walk) from the main campus. With unbeatable prices, the Peking Duck will satisfy for sure. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!"

"Teppanyaki Chinatown aims to bring you a truly authentic Japanese teppanyaki experience by majoring in quality service and food rather than the tricks. Its focus is to serve outstanding Japanese cuisine and to share with you our authentic teppanyaki cooking culture. Their comprehensive menu offers a great range of options to suit even the most discerning of tastes."
