"The Imperial War Museum, the huge silver structure across the water from MediaCityUK, will be back open from May 19. The main exhibition space, along with the Big Picture Show - which projects documentary-style footage and stories onto the walls of the gallery - will both return. The exhibition Aid Workers: Ethics Under Fire is also open, free to visit and extended until September 24."

"Manchester also has an important history when it comes to war and conflict over the past hundred years. The Imperial War Museum North (IWMN) is an interactive space built solely for the purpose of telling the most vital, powerful stories of war from across the region. The entire structure was built around an impressive, genuine fighter jet!"

"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!"

"The People’s History Museum (also called the National Democracy Museum) charts the history of political and social protest in England. The museum is packed with creatively displayed exhibits accompanied by simple text which our children found easy to read and understand. They didn’t know much about the subject before our visit but were surprisingly engaged the entire time."

"The People's History Museum, located in Spinningfields, is the national museum of democracy. The More in Common: in Memory of Jo Cox exhibition sees the Jo Cox memorial wall on public display for the first time since Jo’s murder in June 2016. The specially commissioned virtual Wall of Hope is a space to add personal tribute messages."

"The University of Manchester contains yet MORE beautiful buildings, as well as the interesting Manchester Museum, worth a look if you need to kill a couple of hours. And best of all, like the majority of sites in the city, it’s free!. It’s also one of the biggest universities in the country, so as you wander around the campus, you’ll see plenty of students and professors going from building to building."

"Explore 3 floors of displays and exhibitions, including objects from all over the world at Manchester Museum. There are so many fascinating things to discover—from Stan the T.rex to the Vivarium, and newly bred Harlequin frogs. Visit the new soundscape exhibition Wild Chorus, recorded and composed in summer 2020 by sound artist Harry Ovington."

"Rex, immediately catch your eye upon entering the mammoth (pun intended) Manchester Museum. There is also an exhaustive collection of Egyptian mummies and artefacts, and a terrarium with live and exotic reptilian species. Visiting the Manchester Museum is especially one of the best things to do in Manchester with kids."

"You may crave some culture next, and Manchester is more than able to accommodate. The John Rylands Library is an excellent choice with late 19th century gothic architecture to appreciate and fresh, new exhibits rotating through every couple of months. You will be captivated by the juxtaposition of old and new and enthralled by the art and imagination of the works inside."

"Out of all the sights in Manchester, John Rylands Library is my favourite. This is the one place I bring all new visitors to Manchester and I just can’t get enough of this beautiful building. It was built in memory of John Rylands by his widow (very Taj Mahal) and looks like it has been plucked straight out of a Harry Potter novel."

"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."

"St Mary’s RC Church (The Hidden Gem) has been enriching the faith of all catholic believers in Manchester since its establishment in 1794. Serving the community with its regular mas and services, you will feel comfortable and safe practising your beliefs and religion in this church. Apart from the holy mass, they also hold regular confessions 6 times a week from 11 AM to 12 Noon from Mondays to Wednesday and Thursdays to Fridays and from 10:30 AM to 11:15 on Saturdays."

"St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church can be found on Mulberry Street, a quiet cul-de-sac between Deansgate and Albert Square, in the middle of Manchester’s city centre. The church has earned the more familiar local nickname of The Hidden Gem. As you approach and enter the building, the reasons for the name become apparent."

"1842 Restaurant and Bar is the place to go for some hearty and tasty vegan dining. Ranging from small bites and small plates to big plates and desserts, this mouth-watering menu ensures you don't have to compromise on taste."

"Barton Arcade is a shopping mall in a beautiful Victorian building. There are shops and restaurants on the ground floor and offices on the upper floors. The ceiling is made from cast-iron and glass and gives you the feeling of a botanical garden."

"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.
