Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in New Longton

"Explore two and a half centuries worth of science, technology and industry that began in the city of Manchester by visiting the Science and Industry Museum. There are a wide range of events and exhibitions on throughout the year. Plan your visit by going to their website and finding out what’s on during your trip."

"The museum of Science and Industry is one of the largest museums in Manchester. You can get a glimpse of how technology has changed and shaped the modern world. The museum covers decades of innovation from locomotives, printing presses to the world’s first computer."

"Imperial War Museum North, one of five branches of the Imperial War Museum, centers on the impact of modern conflicts on people and society. Found in Trafford Park, the museum's location and building is worth the visit alone, with amazing modern architecture right on Salford Quays. The museum's main exhibition, which has free admission, looks the impact of war on our culture via 2,000 objects, photographs, and interactive displays."

"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."

"Opened at The Quays in Trafford Park, Manchester in July 2002 and created to give northern audiences access to the national....."

"Manchester is a great city and there is so much to see and do as a family and its sad that its often overlooked when people are visiting the UK. Similarly to London, Manchester is jam packed with museums covering so many different areas and each providing a different and unique experience to children and families. Below are my pick of the best museums in Manchester for children which are all a great day out for families and most are free, so great for keeping the costs down on adventures!"

"People’s History Museum, Left Bank, Spinningfields, Manchester, M3 3ER - Visit now. Recent winner of the national “Kids In Museums” award, visit this national museum of democracy for interactive family galleries and regularly changing creative events. It’s never to early to learn about past struggles and ‘there have always been ideas worth fighting for’."

"People’s History Museum is a pretty good rainy day activity in Manchester. I will admit that it’s not my favourite museum in Manchester but it’s still decent. However, if you have an interest in British history and politics, I imagine you would enjoy this museum a fair amount."

"This incredible collection of natural history, including local favourite Stan the T-Rex, will welcoming guests from Wednesday May 19. All the Natural History galleries are open and free to visit, but the Archaeology and Ancient Worlds galleries (including Ancient Egypt) are closed until 2022 while the museum undergoes a £13.5m transformation.

"Focusing on natural history, anthropology and archaeology, the Manchester Museum is the city’s smaller version of London’s Natural History Museum. Run by The University of Manchester, Manchester Museum has 15 galleries covering everything from rocks and minerals to dinosaurs and ancient history. It is even home to live reptiles!"

"On Deansgate in Manchester is the John Rylands Library, a late-19th century Victorian building in a Gothic style. What’s so different about this library is that it looks a lot more like a cathedral than a place for housing books. It is considered by many as Manchester’s most beautiful building and houses some of the earliest books ever printed."

"Covered by bluebells in spring, this ancient woodland is the longest stretch in Lancashire and is a special scientific interest site. Set above the River Ribble, this natural area is accessible through Brockholes Local Nature Reserve. Click the next ARROW to see the next image!"

"But head to Remedy in the morning begore gin o’clock and you will be greeted by a bank of amazing handmade cakes – all to be enjoyed with an amazing coffee. Did you know they do take away?. Break the habit of grabbing your pre-work caffeine fix from the same old chain across the road – Remedy will see you right (We’re all about keeping it independent after all)."

"When we think of Remedy, we can't help but think of gin - but there's so much more to find there. By day, you'll find vegan breakfast options, raw fruit/vegetable juices and more - as well as homemade baked beans on toast - yum! There are also GF and/or vegan cakes to go with their speciality coffees, too."

"Okay, when we think "Remedy", we think "gin" - but it does breakfast, too - honest!. The coffee is incredible and the bacon butties are not too shabby either."

"Some of my favourite bars here are Tib Street Tavern, Lammars, Dry Bar and The Terrace. If you head towards the Town Hall and Albert Square, you will find numerous bars and restaurants that all offer great food and reasonably priced cocktails."

"About: Cute, kitsch and cosy - Hey Little Cupcake is a super-sweet cupcakery and tea room serving Manchester's finest selection of freshly baked Cupcakes, Cakepops and Brownies.

"This week we launch the Easter Collection… here’s a sneak peak of what’s to come. #HeyLittleCupcake#Easter#Cupcakepic.twitter.com/YS1ZL46gEi. — Hey Little Cupcake!"

"As the name suggests, their small cupcakes are really delicious. Like New York’s famous cupcakes. They create a work of art."

"Carluccio’s is in the heart of the main Spinningfields financial district, overlooking the open spaces of Hardman Square. There’s also a branch in The Trafford Centre."

"31/05/2021: The fish we ordered was the worst, the service was not great at all, the Coke was flat, it looks like a canteen, and the food is canteen food from the 1980,s. 21/02/2021: We visited in October 2020. We have been here loads of times before so knew it was a cheap & cheerful type of canteen, but they seemed to have upped the quality a lot this year!"

"Peggy's Snack Bar is one of Blackpool's largest all day snack bars serving a great choice of hot and cold meals from the counter. Prices start from £4.15 for Br..."

"Lupo Caffè Italiano, located at the Boat Shed, Exchange Quay, serves award-winning Italian coffee. Italian-flavours continue to run through its daily-changing menu which has previous included crostatina with nutella, stuffed peppers and pistachio, and white chocolate muffins. The cafe also makes Italian birthday cakes with custom designs."

"The Manchester Doughnut Company was started by local chef Ed Beech seeking to fill a gap in the market for more eclectic donut flavours. Handmade in small batches, Ed creates flavour combinations such as white chocolate and pumpkin donuts, butterscotch and bourbon donuts and donuts topped with Crunchy Nut Cereals!. The secret to these donuts is the slow proving process used to make the dough (although covering them in butterscotch once they’ve been fried can’t hurt either eh?) You can find these beauties at The King’s Arms, and at The Makers Market in Spinningfields and Didsbury every month."

"This Welsh doughnut shop in the Northern Quarter offers melt-in-your-mouth doughnuts made on-site by Blawd bakery including inventive flavours such as apple crumble, maple pecan glaze, cherry bakewell and strawberries and cream. For National Doughnut Week there are rhubarb, vanilla and raspberry fills all week long, or try their mango lassi edition –  a special collaboration with indian street food specialists Bundobust. This unique cardamom doughnut sandwich with an Alphonso mango cream is glazed and topped with candied fennel seeds, and all proceeds go to The Children’s Trust."

"By far one of the Northern Quarter’s most unique hangouts in all its brightly-coloured glory, you can pop by Siop Shop this weekend to get yourself that quick caffeine fix, and perhaps a sweet doughnut treat too if that takes your fancy. 53 Tib Street, Manchester M4 1LS. You can find more information via the Siop Shop website here."
