Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Heaton

"Since Manchester stood at the forefront of the society-shifting industrial revolution, it is of no surprise that the area has continued to forge new and exciting pathways forward in the fields of science and industry. This makes the existence of the Museum of Science & Industry a necessary and exciting inclusion within Manchester’s cultural landscape. Visit this truly stunning museum in order to learn more about the ideas that have changed, and continue to change, the world around us."

"This museum will be unveiling its new £5m Special Exhibitions Gallery when it reopens, launching the new space with a Top Secret exhibition curated with GCHQ. The Science and Industry museum will open its New Warehouse, Upper Yard, Revolution Manchester, Textiles and Experiment galleries, plus new gardens, from May 19. Other parts of the site remain closed for a restoration project."

"One of five Imperial War Museums in the UK, Manchester’s addition to the repertoire is located in Media City. The striking aluminium-clad building houses a timeline of Britain’s conflicts since the First World War, drawing on different elements of war such as the involvement of women and the impact of science and technology on how wars are fought. Alongside the permanent exhibits are plenty of films and photographs showcasing what life was like during these conflicts.Imperial War Museum | © the yes man / Flickr"

"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 North is another Salford attraction that’s most definitely worth a visit. It’s within walking distance of The Lowry so you could easily combine the two for a day out in Greater Manchester. The focus of the museum is modern conflicts and the building itself was designed to purposefully confuse and unsettle visitors through illogical angles and leaning floors."

"Explore the past, present and future of ideas worth fighting for, throughout the People’s History Museum’s two family-friendly galleries, exhibitions, archive and shop. Visit the headline exhibition, More in Common: in memory of Jo Cox and explore Jo’s life and legacy. See the Jo Cox Memorial Wall, on public display for the first time since Jo’s murder in June 2016, alongside a specially commissioned virtual Wall of Hope to add your personal tribute message."

"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."

It’s definitely a brew to keep the mind sharp, but I heard they feature regular guest espresso too!"
