"If you’re visiting the main gallery, you won’t need to book a ticket—you can just walk in. There will be lots to see including a new display, What is Manchester Art Gallery?. , which introduces the gallery, its origins, how the collection was formed and how it relates to Manchester and its people."

"Imperial War Museum North (IWM North) is also worth visiting, especially if you have an interest in the history of warfare. Opened in 2002, this branch of the Imperial War Museum is a popular attraction for its collections of fighting vehicles and aircrafts. Highlights of a visit include audiovisual presentations and exhibits dealing with the history of warfare and its role in shaping civilization."

"The Imperial War Museum North is another Salford attraction that’s most definitely worth a visit. It’s within walking distance of The Lowry so you could easily combine the two for a day out in Greater Manchester. The focus of the museum is modern conflicts and the building itself was designed to purposefully confuse and unsettle visitors through illogical angles and leaning floors."

"IWM North, Trafford Wharf Rd, Trafford Park, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M17 1TZ. Things to do at IWM North review. The IWM North, short for Imperial War Museum, is a large museum overlooking the water in Stretford, Greater Manchester."

"The John Rylands Library is a late-Victorian neo-Gothic building that today is party of the University of Manchester Library. While plenty come here to research and study their historic collection, it's worth a visit for the amazing architecture of the 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."

"If you’re ever in Manchester, DO NOT leave this city without going to see the John Rylands Library. For any one who felt the pain of not receiving a letter to Hogwarts on their 11th birthday (admit it, we’ve all been there), this might just make up for it (maybe). The exterior of the library is a mix of old and new, with red brick complemented by modern glass architecture."

"0 km from city center 4 out of 12 places to visit in Manchester. John Rylands Library is considered to be one of the oldest gems in the city of Manchester. It is considered to be a masterpiece with Victorian Gothic style of architecture and it is any book lover's dream place."

"Millennium Gallery, Arundel Gate, Sheffield, S1 2PP - Visit now. Branching off from the impressive glass dome structure of the Winter Gardens (one of the largest of its type in the UK), Millennium Gallery is home to the Sheffield’s extensive Ruskin Collection and Metalwork Collection – capturing the Steel City’s industrial heritage in more than 13,000 objects – alongside two impressive temporary exhibitions spaces."

"See Sheffield’s unique heritage in this premier destination for art, craft and design. The Sheffield Millennium Gallery is one of the city’s most prominent art galleries, located right in the centre at Arundel Gate. It features contemporary art and design exhibitions, including touring exhibitions from the V&A, the Tate and the National Portrait Gallery."

"Manchester's second most important art gallery is arguably its most beautiful, following a restoration that saw the doubling of its exhibition space through the opening of its sides and back, and the construction of glass-screened promenades. Inside is a fine collection of British watercolours, the best selection of historic textiles outside London and galleries devoted to the work of artists from Dürer and Rembrandt to Lucian Freud and David Hockney."

"The Whitworth relaunched in 2015 after a massive refurbishment and only went on to win an award for Museum of the Year by the Art Fund in its first year. They have a constantly changing display of collections and a wide spectrum of art in their temporary exhibitions. The Whitworth is located in South Manchester, I would recommend taking public transport as it’s quite a walk otherwise."

"Like Contemporary Six, Generation also offers the Own Art scheme. Artworks range from under £100, to a whopping £49,000, with bestsellers including Kerry Darlington’s fantastical resin creations and JJ Adams’ subversive celebrity depictions. Whether you’re a serious collector, or simply after a quirky piece for your home, you’d do well do beat it."

"Founded in 2018, Triple Point Brewery is fairly new on the Sheffield ale scene. Believing Sheffield has the perfect water quality to brew lagers, they launched their own brewery. The perfect place to escape the pressures of student life - give your taste buds a treat and head there to try their distinctive lager, brewed right on site."

"You don’t get much more efficient than brewing the beer on site. Triple Point’s staff are incredibly welcoming of dogs, and there’s some great beers to try too. Twisted Burger Company are on food duty if you want a bite to eat."

"With amazing access to the awe-inspiring Peak District, you are never far away from breathtaking scenery in Sheffield. We recommend that you do what we did. Park up at Surprise View car park just before sunrise, which will mean a very early start admittedly."

"The Trafford Ecology Park is tucked away in the industrial Trafford Park behind an oil depot and is a registered Biological Important site and a true oasis of wildlife. The park is spread across an area of eleven acres and is a true delight for a nature enthusiast."

"For a countryside walk close to home, Longshaw Estate is the place to be. We absolutely love it and I know it’s very popular with families in Sheffield!. At Longshaw Estate there’s the perfect variety of woodlands, open countryside space, magical trees and rolling views."
