"A failsafe and firm favorite with lovebirds is Malmaison, easily one of the most romantic hotels in Manchester. The hotel is steeped in history; it was formerly a 19th-century cotton warehouse and a Victorian dollsâ hospital later. Glittering silver walls, red velvet sofas, and white-and-black tile floors greet you as you enter."

Expect an explosion of colour, music and outrageous costumes at Europe's longest-running authentic Caribbean carnival parade."

Basketball and tennis courts sit alongside a skate park and bowling green, giving you plenty of outdoor entertainment options in the summer months."

My Cookie Dough also launched a Build Your Own kit which you can have delivered straight to your doorstep containing all the ingredients you need to make enjoy your My Cookie Dough experience at home."
"Taking the humble traybake to new heights, My Cookie Dough is among the best dessert shops in Manchester.

With locations at both the Trafford Centre and the Arndale, you won't have to travel far to get your hands on these bad boys."
"đ° Seriously gooey hot cookie dough, with tons of topping options to choose from including Nutella, Biscoff, Red Velvet, Kinder and even Strawberry Cheesecake."
"A cheeky tram ride takes you away from the bright(ish) lights of Manchesterâs city centre and puts you in the chilled out, hipster area of Chorlton filled with micro-breweries and quaint coffee shops bursting with handmade foods. Tea Hive Chorlton is one of such lovely cafes, and one of their specialties is mini âdippingâ donuts that come with different dips such as sweet lemon curd, chocolate crĂšme or raspberry jam. These bite-sized morsels are perfect for when you want to treat yourself and not feel too guilty afterward."
"Thereâs no doubt that this quaint vintage-inspired teashop is a pro when it comes to home baking. Youâll find all kinds of elegant flavours like the quadruple layer St Clements cake with orange curd, lemon curd, and citrus buttercream icing. A personal favourite is the date and ginger cake which comes with spiced cream cheese icing."
"The cakes, which are prepared using very different ingredients, are so different and delicious that you canât taste them in other places. We strongly recommend you try it. Design and ambience are also very different."
"Wapentake is a café, pub and bakery designed to create a little piece of Yorkshire. Although I think of Wapentake as more of a pub than a café in that they serve up local beers, Yorkshire puddings (and Yorkshire pudding burgers!), and crisp butties, they absolutely function as a café too. They focus on all things local, with coffee from a family-run company in Skipton called Coffee Care, tea from Taylors of Harrogate and all cakes are baked on site."
"Eating out in Leeds got reet gradely the moment Wapentake sprung onto the scene. Part cafe, part bar and 100% obsessed with Godâs Own Country, this tasty hideout gives you a serious case of the warm and fuzzies by serving up Yorkshire favourites with true Yorkshire hospitality. Thereâs local beers, local gins and local ingredients too, like meat from Kirkgate Butchers and dairy delights from Whitakers Farmhouse Eggs."
"92 Kirkgate, Leeds LS2 7DJWapentake is a delightful little venue, on Leedsâ oldest street. As well as a selection of beers and wines, Wapentake serves a daytime menu that includes a vegan fry up, vegan bangers & mash and vegan burgers. Their selection of freshly baked cakes usually includes a vegan option too."
