"Opposite the Lowry on the south side of the Manchester Ship Canal in Trafford Park is one of five branches for the Imperial War Museum, opened in 2002. This remarkable building, with three interlocking metallic shards (invoking air, earth and water), was designed by Daniel Libeskind and intended to induce a feeling of disorientation apt for war. The entrance is in the 55-metre-high “air shard”, while the permanent exhibition is on the first floor in the “earth shard”."

"Inside this stunning building, you will find interesting and thought-proving exhibitions that show how war has shaped the world. Throughout the year there are new exhibitions exploring different stories, events and peoples experiences. The kids will enjoy getting hands-on in the TimeShack where they will find object handling sessions and storytelling sessions, and also getting creative in the Learning Studio where they can make something craft to take home!"

"The Imperial War Museum, the huge silver structure across the water from MediaCityUK, will be back open from May 19.

The exhibition Aid Workers: Ethics Under Fire is also open, free to visit and extended until September 24."

Be aware that several of the galleries are currently closed for refurbishment work."

"Explore 3 floors of displays and exhibitions, including objects from all over the world. There are so many fascinating things to discover – from Stan the T.rex to the Vivarium, and newly bred Harlequin frogs. Visit the new exhibition We Are Nature- 19 May to 31 August 2021."

"Of the city's older buildings, the real gem is the John Rylands Library on Deansgate, a little masterpiece of Victorian Gothic nestling amid a forest of shops and office blocks. From the outside, the library looks so like a medieval church, with its turrets and stained-glass windows, that it comes as a surprise to learn that it is barely a hundred years old. Inside, it is a bibliophile's dream, a warren of dusty, book-lined rooms, with pride of place going to an original fragment of the Old Testament.Contact: library.manchester.ac.uk"

"If you’re ever in Manchester, DO NOT leave this city without going to see the John Rylands Library. For any one who felt the pain of not receiving a letter to Hogwarts on their 11th birthday (admit it, we’ve all been there), this might just make up for it (maybe). The exterior of the library is a mix of old and new, with red brick complemented by modern glass architecture."

"The John Rylands Library in Manchester is a breath-taking library. It opened in 1900 as a tribute to Enriqueta Ryland’s husband John Ryland. You can find statues of the both of them in the main hall."

"An abundance of choice in flavour is available to have in a cone, on waffles, or on a cake of your own choosing. If you ever head to gelato passion, make sure you try out their peanut butter cake with raspberry sorbet. Kind of like a PB&J sandwich deconstructed into ice cream!"

"It was established in 2006 and has since grown a mini-empire encompassing a cookery school as well as supper clubs and other events in London. Ning, based in the Northern Quarter, was awarded Best Malaysian Restaurant at the Asian Curry Awards 2012. Furthermore, this stylish restaurant is armed with an extremely talented chef in Norman Musa, who was the recipient of the Asian and Oriental Young Chef of the Year award in 2012."

"About: Patisserie Valerie in Deansgate is a haven of self-indulgence. This luxurious, continental-style patisserie and café is famed for delicious handmade cakes and pastries. Under the counter you'll discover a mouth-watering array of sugary treats such as tarts, macaroons and gateauxs."

"I wouldn’t normally have chosen this flavour, but on a hot day they only had three to choose from. Had a changing flavour – hints of coffee, cream and caramel with little bits of caramel which gave a nice texture change."

"Just a short tram ride away from the city centre is Slattery, the home of desserts and all things chocolate!. The Whitefield shop is full of surprises – including the Strawberry and Marshmallow Kebabs served with two chocolate pots filled with white and milk liquid Belgian chocolate – perfect for ‘dunking’ in!. Or you could really test yourself and try their Chocolate Challenge."
