"The People’s History Museum (also called the National Democracy Museum) charts the history of political and social protest in England. The museum is packed with creatively displayed exhibits accompanied by simple text which our children found easy to read and understand. They didn’t know much about the subject before our visit but were surprisingly engaged the entire time."

"Exhibits the 200-year story of British democracy, and the quest for equality for all. The People’s History Museum underwent a swanky redevelopment in 2010 and famously has the largest number of trade union items in the world, with over 400, with some dating back as far as the 19th century.

"Nestled between Manchester Cathedral, the National Football Museum, the Corn Exchange, and Chetham’s School of Music are Cathedral Gardens Manchester. It is a new park but provides a great escape if you are in the Manchester city centre and want to take a breath. It is a regenerated area with a water feature that changes with seasons and concrete sitting areas and is now one of Manchester’s best parks."

"Facilities are children’s play area, a visitors centre with toilets, a pond, a conservation area with a dipping platform, angling. Once the ash tip for east Manchester’s power station, it was greened up in the 1980s and since recent investment, is a key green space within the Medlock River Valley. Clayton Vale is a Local Nature Reserve and is a great place for families to enjoy woodland and riverside walks, cycling, picnicking, or pond dipping."

A live music programme, running seven days a week, will take in everything from 1930s Delta blues, funk, acoustic, rock n roll, roots and southern soul music."

"A once-only London institution, The Blues Kitchen hitched on a soul train straight to Manchester, filling a void in the city’s music scene. Swinging moves, soul nights and gallons of bourbon, the Blues Kitchen will give you life and steal your heart."
