Shopping & Leisure


Manchester’s shopping scene is varied and extensive offering everything from the Arndale Centre, the UK’s biggest city centre shopping centre and The Trafford Centre, the UK’s biggest shopping centre, to designer outlets such as Harvey Nichols and Selfridges. Whatever your style, Manchester can keep you on trend.

Manchester offers a diverse, vibrant night time economy. Head to the Northern Quarter for some of Manchester’s best independent bars and restaurants, or to Spinningfields for an unbeatably stylish evening out. With the recent addition of The French and Manchester House, Manchester’s restaurant and bar scene is second-to-none.

Whether you’re seeking fine dining and a lively night on the town, you want to put yourself to the test in one of our world class sporting facilities or find something new to do with the kids, Manchester can cater for all your needs from day, through the evening and onwards into the night.
