DH has to go for 2 nights for work and I am tagging along as we never get any child free time. I'll have both Saturday and Sunday day times free and we are staying in the northern quarter.

The hotel is v basic so will want to get out and about. I might have a quick mooch around shops but not particularly interested in the sales.

Also trying not to spend £, so any pointers for free/cheap activities or cool places to visit would be much appreciated ... thanks!

Manchester Museum.
Museum of Science & Industry.
Manchester Art Gallery.
Central Library.
Ride a tram out to Altrincham and have a wander around ... or in the other direction to Bury and buy some black pudding ...

What kind of thing do you like to do in any other city?
