The Jurys Inn Quick Guide To Manchester
Fact: more people go to concerts in the Manchester Evening News Arena than any other venue in the world. When Morrissey sang ‘Manchester, so much to answer for’, music fans everywhere knew exactly what he meant. It’s a big city, but there are other big cities in the UK, yet Manchester’s contribution to the world of music seems to far exceed what you’d expect. From Northern Soul to club anthems to the introspection of The Smiths, shaking your tailfeather and getting all glammed up for a night on the tiles in this old textile town are a huge part of what it’s always been about. For infectious cool and a distinctly Mancunian swagger check out the Deansgate Locks area, Oxford Road and Canal Street’s Gay Quarter.

You can’t avoid sport when you visit Manchester. The fierce rivalry between the red United and the blue City sides unites, divides and defines this northwestern destination, all at the same time. Catch a game while you’re there – if you’re really lucky it’ll be a derby day.
There’s lots to see and do apart from football and night clubs. Plenty of posh shops like Harvey Nichols and Chanel mix it up with the usual High Street outlets. Historic and modern sights are everywhere. Try the John Rylands Library on Deansgate Street for an absolutely beautiful treat, and don’t expect to be able to cram it all in within a day or even two. The city has more than its share of galleries and museums. Did you know that the Museum of Science and Industry was also the world’s first train station? Nor did we. That’s why we’re packing our bags to check Manchester out again!
