"One of the best ice cream parlours in Manchester, Ginger's Comfort Emporium is a Northern Quarter favourite handing out dairy and vegan scoops all year round. With specials including Campari and coconut, Eccles cake and Chorlton Crack (peanut butter and salted caramel), these frozen spoonfuls are always at their best when served in sandwich form. We all scream for these quirky ice cream sandwiches."
"Usually found in an ice cream van during Town Hall’s festival season, Ginger’s now own a diner on the first floor in Affleck’s Palace. Known for their extremely popular ‘Chorlton Crack’, a lush salted caramel and peanut butter combo, Ginger’s wild and wonderful flavours can be obtained at the diner in a toasted brioche, affogato style or in a milkshake. Affleck’s, First Floor, 52 Church St, M4 1PW"
"It was presented in a cute little glass and the menu stated it was ‘made at kitchens in Manchester.’ It definitely tasted home made and although it was nice, it was so milky that the flavour was overpowered. This was also the most expensive one."
"Frurt specialise in Frozen Yogurt (Froyo), with dairy and non-dairy options available. The dessert spot has several locations scattered around Manchester, with more than 50 toppings (many of which are vegetarian, with some vegan) up for grabs. You create your masterpiece by picking and choosing from fresh fruit, dry fruit, sweets, Chocolate and premium sauces such as pistachio, ruby and Bueno including warm sauces like biscoff and Nutella."
"Ice Shack is an all-vegan dessert parlour that offers a nice treat for all people that have sweet tooth but are also on a special diet. Established in 2016 and rooted for a family’s love of desserts, they make way to share their enthusiasm and love with other people particular those under a vegan diet. Offering 0% dairy, they use a range of alternatives including truffles to offer a sweet and nice treat."
"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."
"This location lives up to the Tate name and reputation, and brings many famous artworks to the North West to be enjoyed by all. The Tate Liverpool is home to the work of internationally renowned artists of the 20th and 21st century. Curating modern and contemporary art to paint a picture of both UK and international historical art movements, the Tate Liverpool houses an outstanding collection as well as hosts fantastic travelling exhibitions, talks, and collections by celebrated curators and artists on a global scale."
"Tate Liverpool is the only place in the North to be for modern and contemporary art from the world over. Since opening its doors in 1988 Tate Liverpool has become one of the most visited art galleries outside of London and has a stunning array of work from the National Collection, as well as regular exhibitions of some of the finest art there has ever been, including exhibitions and events relating to Gustav Klimt, Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, and Keith Haring, to name just a few."
"The Tate is one of the most intimate galleries in Liverpool where you can get close and personal with some of the biggest names in the world of art. You will not be charged to enter the gallery however; some special exhibits might cost you something. Exhibits normally change regularly therefore, it’s important to check online to have an idea of what will be displayed."
"Based at the site formerly occupied by the historic Manchester docks, this area of modern development is a bastion of business, entertainment and beauty. The contemporary cluster contains the aforementioned Lowry and Imperial War Museum, whilst Old Trafford isn’t too far away either. Salford Quays is also home to Media City, a property development dedicated to the media and creative industries that has seen significant development in the city’s standing within film and TV production in particular."
"This area is Greater Manchester’s waterfront and is where you will find the Imperial War Museum North, the BBC at Media City and the Lowry. The area was once one of the busiest docklands in the UK and is now a great place to admire the futuristic architecture, go for a meal in one of the restaurants and to explore!"
"Set in the heart of the city is the spectacular Chester Cathedral, which exhibits some exquisite architecture. As it was built over several hundred years, its facade and towers showcase a range of styles, with Romanesque and Georgian elements on show alongside gorgeous Gothic features. Erected atop a much older church, the colossal cathedral was constructed between the eleventh and sixteenth centuries, with splendid stained glass windows lining its red sandstone walls."
"More commonly known as 'the bombed out church' St Luke’s was destroyed during the Blitz of World War II. With no ceiling, and plants now growing inside, it is a real place of tranquility in the centre of the city and serves as a memorial to those who lost their lives during the war."
"Also known as St. Luke’s Church, the Bombed-Out Church lost its roof during the World War II blitz and has now been transformed into a wedding venue, café and a great spot for pictures. The church is incredible to look around and is also filled with so much history."
"A modest Anglican parish church, originally built in 1832, St. Luke’s was a victim of the Liverpool Blitz in 1941 and now stands as a roofless shell, a monument to those who were lost during the war."
