"Indian street food and craft beer bar Bundobust is a shining gem amongst the restaurant chains of Piccadilly Gardens. Venture down its wooden stairway and you’ll be met with a sprawling food hall, complete with casual canteen-style benches and a glorious glass skylight. Don’t expect a typical Indian menu though."

"A vegetarian and predominantly gluten-free restaurant, Bundobust is serving some of Manchester's best cheap eats. For just £6, you can munch on a bhaji butty, vada pav veggie burger and raghda pethis mushy pea cakes, with a wide choice of cocktails to top it off."

"The Ivy's terrace made headlines for all the wrong reasons when a fire broke out there just a few months after it opened. It hasn't happened again since though, so you're all good. This bougie London brand is still going strong, despite the pandemic, and its views of the ever-changing skyline are worth a visit even if you can take or leave the food (see Gordo on scathing form when he reviewed The Ivy when it first opened in Manchester)"

"This amazing circus-themed restaurant has only just opened this month in what used to be Pizza Express opposite the main entrance to the Winter Gardens. Doors to the new St John's Square diner officially opened on Wednesday (June 9), with company Loungers behind the eatery. An amazing level of detail has gone into the traditional fun fair and circus theme including traditional circus posters, Victorian lighting, and vintage seats."

"This sports bar and café within Trafford Hall Hotel is just a stone’s throw away from the Old Trafford, making it a great spot for a pre- or po ..."

"Viva Vegas Diner is a pretty new addition to the Blackpool restaurant scene and is geared mainly towards families. Set in the old Harry Ramsdens’ premises from before they relocated to the Tower, the restaurant is large and has the ‘fun’ factor about it. As the name would suggest, it’s themed as an American diner and carries it off pretty darn well!"

"The restaurant's opening hours are Friday 11am to 11pm, Saturday 11:30am to 10:30pm and Sunday 9am to 10pm. Punters enjoying the sun on Monday April 12 at new gin and prosecco bar The Garden and Bloom bar on Blackpool's North Pier"

"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."

"One of the city's hidden gems, Castlefield Gallery will be able to show its Obstructions exhibition in real life for the first time - for five days only. Obstructions brought together 15 artists from across Greater Manchester during lockdown. The gallery is open from May 19 and you can see more at castlefieldgallery.co.uk."

"Dating back to the 15th century, the Manchester Cathedral has experienced quite a bit of history! After Henry VIII broke away from the Roman Catholic Church, the Cathedral's riches were confiscated. During the English Civil war in the mid 17th century, pitched battles were fought inside and around the Cathedral between the Royalists (those supporting Charles I, the Stewarts, and the Anglican Church) and the Roundheads (Oliver Cromwell loyalists). Also Ann Lee, the founder of the religious movement called the Shakers interrupted services here when she lived in Manchester. The church was targeted by the Nazi Luftwaffe and received a direct head during the bombings of 1940. Yet through all this the Church maintains it's quiet dignity and beauty. It is a must see while in Manchester!"

"Dating back to 1215, Manchester Cathedral offers a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of the city. The official name is actually “The Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St Mary, St Denys and St George” and is one amazing sight that needs to be seen in the city. It’s well worth a wander around to see the gorgeous architecture, especially as it has been so well preserved."

"One of Manchester’s oldest buildings, the cathedral is a must-see for anyone with an interest in architecture. Wander around at your own pace, book onto a tour to find out more about the building’s history or keep your eyes peeled for news of one of the occasional gigs hosted inside the cathedral."

"There’s fun for the entire family at Chill Factore, an indoor Alpine ski village that offers the chance for you and the family to try your hand at skiing or snowboarding without having to find a mountain. Those who have a little experience can spend a day skiing down the UK’s longest indoor slope with real snow, while newcomers can enrol on lessons on the centre’s nursery slopes. If you don’t fancy skiing but still want to play in the snow, there’s the opportunity to go sledging or snow tubing, as well as a snow-covered play area for younger children."

"If you need a venue that will allow kids of all ages to let off some steam while doing something completely out of the ordinary, Chill Factore is ideal. The indoor ski slope can be used for skiing, snowboarding, doughnut sledging, and more. It is truly one of the best sports-based activities in Manchester and the north-west."
