"This is another opening that will be the talk of the town when it reopens, as the Manchester Jewish Museum unveils its £6m transformation to the public for the first time. You'll have to be patient though - the Chetham Hill venue won't open until July 2, when it kicks things off with a MIF co-commissioned installation. General admission tickets will be available soon at manchesterjewishmuseum.com."

"What: The streetside terrace at Thaikhun is found under an iron-clad structure that has been prettified with hanging fairy lights and faux foliage. The restaurant has a built-in fun, carefree vibe, matched by the easygoing menu that is inspired by the lively street food markets of Thailand. While you get some fresh air, tuck into dishes such as massaman curry and grilled chicken satay and wash it all down with a Thai beer."

"Our first dinner in Manchester was spent at Thaikhun and we had such a great time. Thaikhun is a restaurant chain that specializes in Thai street food and their interior made me feel like I was back in Asia. Everything we ordered tasted so good, and I really recommend the grilled chicken satay and the Panang Curry."

"One of the most unique looking Thai restaurants in Manchester, Thaikhun is something of a sight to behold. Loud and proud with heritage and cultural nods, the interiors of the restaurant not only hark to street food markets in the country, the plates are full of classics and favourite dishes."

Glittering silver walls, red velvet sofas, and white-and-black tile floors greet you as you enter."

Whether you want to get glammed up and gorgeous for your big night out or melt away that tension after a hard week at work, this place is your perfect spa escape."
