"A family favourite, the Science and Industry Museum is a celebration of the ideas and inventions originating in the city of Manchester. Set in the original terminus of the world’s first inter-city railway, you’ll discover how life has changed and improved since the Industrial Revolution. ‘The Textiles Gallery’ tells the story of ‘Cottonopolis’, how Manchester was once the international centre of the world’s cotton industry."

"Exhibits the 200-year story of British democracy, and the quest for equality for all. The People’s History Museum underwent a swanky redevelopment in 2010 and famously has the largest number of trade union items in the world, with over 400, with some dating back as far as the 19th century. Left Bank, Spinningfields, Manchester, M3 3ER (phm)"

"Home to a spookily rotating mummy and a T-Rex skeleton, Manchester Museum is the city’s largest institution, containing enough exhibits to keep you entertained for an entire afternoon. A large part of the collection is dedicated to natural history with perfectly preserved plants, animals and insects on display, as well as a vivarium that allows visitors to come face to face with some of the rarest frogs and lizards on the planet. The Ancient Egypt and Archaeology exhibitions also draw in large crowds."

"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."

"19th century museum with an eclectic mix of curiosities, from Egyptian artifacts to items on archery history to the skull of the world's oldest horse."

"Another grand old building that a lucky few can get wed inside, John Rylands is still in use as a functioning library (as part of the University of Manchester library), although many visitors come simply to admire the architecture. The building is actually a vast memorial to the late John Rylands, conceived by his wife and designed by Basil Champneys. Similar in style to the Town Hall, this is another example of neo-Gothic architecture that is revered worldwide."

"For the library lovers amongst us, the fun doesn’t end there. The John Rylands Library, now run as part of the similarly prestigious University of Manchester, is a grade 1 listed building. The library opened in 1900 at a cost of £200,000, and has been renovated on just 3 occasions over the 118 years following its emergence."

"Our son had been looking forward to some foot rest with a good book!. If you wish to study any of the 1.4 million rare books, manuscripts or maps in the library collections you can do so by prior appointment and pre-arranged membership. As the museum is a short visit, it may not be worth a special trip with kids in tow."

"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!"

"Standing proud since 1421 when Henry V signed a royal charter granting permission for a collegiate church to be built, the iconic Manchester Cathedral has survived world wars, bombings and the industrial revolution first hand. Admire the beautiful stained glass windows and carved ceilings as you wander around the building and listen to the sound of choristers and jazz that is often playing. If you want to learn more about the building there are guided tours every day at 11 am and 2 pm Monday to Saturday."

"Manchester Cathedral is located on Victoria Street, in between the National Museum of Football and Victoria Station. Although the origins of the cathedral are not clear, the construction is believed to have started around 700 AD. At the time though, it was just a church."

"Sundays are pretty special at TNQ as it prides itself on providing “top notch proper award winning roasts” and was even named runner up for the ‘Best Sunday Lunch’ in the Observer Food Monthly Awards both in 2018 and 2019.

A selection of mouthwatering starters and desserts are also on offer."

On a warm evening, sat under the courtyard’s DIY pergola, eating astonishingly good Neapolitan pizza from Honest Crust, as a range of diverting DJs spin, it is one of the city’s best off-piste industrial hideaways. Out of season, you can also drink Blackjack’s beers (timeless hoppy cask pales, such as New Deck, out-there creations like the jasmine tea saison Dragon’s Tears), at its pub, the Smithfield."

"From a great craft beer selection to wonderfully laidback and hometown vibes, The Smithfield Market Tavern is exactly where you want to be on a Friday night.
