The 20 Manchester outdoor bars and beer gardens you need to visit from 12th April
"Bella Italia might not seem like the most obvious choice for a bottomless brunch, but actually, their offer is pretty damn good. You get two courses and bottomless prosecco for £27.99pp, and you can take advantage of this offer every Friday to Sunday between 11:30 and 5. How about a bruschetta followed by a pizza, or a delightful pasta dish?"
"Rudy’s is so good, it’s always a pleasant surprise when you get the bill and remember just how budget-friendly it really is. Pizza prices range from £6.30 – £10.50 (the more expensive options being the meatier ones!), and each pizza is bigger than the huge plate its served on. The value for money is incredible, particularly since it’s officially the best pizza in the UK, and the atmosphere is perfect for a catch-up with mates."
"What: Pizza restaurant Rudy’s has proved popular with foodies, now operating a handful of sites across the northern region. At this Ancoats location, you can enjoy your pizza on one of a handful of benches outside of the restaurant, which are perfect for small groups. On the menu, you can expect to find the likes of margherita and calabrese, plus Italian classics such as tiramisu for dessert.Where: 9 Cotton Street, M4 5BF"

"Lurking as it does behind Deansgate Station, it’s easy to miss this quirky platform for emerging artists but it's worth seeking out. The primary emphasis at Castlefield Gallery is niche projects that have international relevance, exploring topics such as the role of art in society through collaborations with local organisations like Madlab. A registered charity, it also has a members’ scheme."
"Castlefield Gallery established by artists in 1984, nestled in the heart of Manchester’s Knott Mill area. It is Manchester’s first public contemporary visual art gallery dedicated to the advancement of contemporary visual art and artists. They are focused on developing visual artists’ practices and careers whilst creating opportunities for the public to engage with the art of their time."
"Located in Manchester’s city centre, Castlefield Gallery is an art gallery and agency showcasing new and contemporary fine art while also running a scheme for career development for contemporary artists."
"Another grand old building that a lucky few can get wed inside, John Rylands is still in use as a functioning library (as part of the University of Manchester library), although many visitors come simply to admire the architecture. The building is actually a vast memorial to the late John Rylands, conceived by his wife and designed by Basil Champneys. Similar in style to the Town Hall, this is another example of neo-Gothic architecture that is revered worldwide."
"For those who set eyes on Deansgate's The John Rylands Library for the first time, 'library' might not be the first word that comes to mind. This masterpiece of Victorian Gothic architecture looks more like a castle or cathedral. The library's collection includes the oldest known piece of the New Testament, the St John Fragment, as well as magnificent illuminated medieval manuscripts and a 1476 William Caxton edition of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales."
"The People’s History Museum, or the National Museum of Democracy, exhibits the entire spectrum of British social past, its present and future. Visitors can learn about the history of working rights in Britain, women equality, social justice, voting rights and several other elements of the UK’s political and social fabric. The collections at the museum include thousands of trade union banners, badges, political manifestoes and posters."
"As the cradle of the industrial revolution, and the incubator of movements from communism to women’s suffrage, Manchester has a rich history of progressive and radical thinking. The People’s History Museum takes visitors on a march through time, charting the centuries-long struggle for equality and democracy through the largest collection of political material in Britain. Fittingly, entry is free."
"Dress up as a Victorian, visit several rooms, have lunch in the café, or take part in a guided tour. A really fun way to learn about Victorian and Mancunian history. Highly recommended for children, book, music and history lovers."
"This neighbourhood bar and kitchen in Ancoats makes the most of local produce. From Manchester charcuterie, locally-smoked salmon, regional cheeses and the Manchester egg to pig head croquettes, homemade Earl Grey ice cream and Manchester Pale Ale braised ox cheek, the menu is always interesting."
"Making a trade in delicious British plates, this Ancoats restaurant offers a stunning brunch spread of classics such as eggs and breakfast sandwiches, alongside more eccentric offerings like smashed broccoli and ox cheek benedict. And yes, they do have the option to go bottomless."
"It's all about small plates and pared-back interiors as chef-owner Michael Clay whips up a pocket-friendly menu in the heart of Ancoats. Out with the whole family?. You're in luck, because not only is Elnecot dog-friendly, but kids under 12 can eat for free."
"One of the best places to eat pizza in Manchester, Proove is a firm choice for alfresco dinners in the warmer months. Get stuck onto freshly baked Neapolitan slices in their cosy terrace space on a chilled out date or long-awaited catch-up with pals."
