Hi everyone!
I'm going to be in #Manchester this next weekend with some friends. Do any of you have any recs? (Literary or not 🤣). I'm hoping that my friends are excited as I am about beating the cold by spending a lot of time indoors so any ideas are welcome!

Birdsong28 The People's Museum is a good place to go. https://phm.org.uk/ 4y
Birdsong28 Also the Museum Of Science and Industry (MOSI) is a good place to go https://www.scienceandindustrymuseum.org.uk/ 4y
JillR Head to the Northern Quarter for food and drink and independent shops. Mackie Mayor is an amazing building turned into communal dining/drinking space. Piccadilly Records if you‘re into music. Chapter One Books and Magma in the same area. Oklahoma Home Store is quirky and fun, Fred Aldous fab for art and crafts. Manchester is my adopted home city and has my heart, let me know if you need any more ideas 🐝 x 4y

Manchester literature festival programme is live! Some really good stuff here - I've booked Celeste Ng and Jeanette Winterson so far, but full booking doesn't open until later next week, so I have my eye on a couple more to book then.

TrishB So many good ones . Think I‘m going to have to do the Plath one - presented by Carol Ann Duffy - I‘m in my literary heaven 😁 will have a look to see what else and let you know. 5y
Oryx @TrishB oh yeah I saw that one and thought of you 😀 I'm hoping to do Jung Chang and Oyinkan Braithwaite. 5y

Oryx @scripturient Oh cool - it's probably the same show she will being doing in Manchester. Let me know how it is. Have you been to Edinburgh before? Such a pretty city. 5y
scripturient @Oryx I‘ll let you know. Yes, I‘ve been several times but it will be great to be back. 😊 5y
