Anyone from Manchester UK?

What are some places to hang out in Manchester apart from Manchester Arndale?

What sort of thing do you want to do?

You don't want to hang about in the arndale!
How long are you there? What were you thinking of - shopping? Siteseeing? Museums? Pubs?

There are so many better places than The Arndale. What do you want to do?

It depends! Children in tow or not?

Museum of science and industry, Manchester museum, chethams library, obviously look around the shops, walk through the print works, a pint in shambles square on a nice day, walk around Harvey nicks/selfridges, eat out..so many great places to eat! Check out afflecks palace.

It's a great city and there's something for everyone we often go alone or with the kids. Live just 10 mins outside of the city centre.

No kids. Just some sightseeing. Visited the arndale so many times.

I don't live far from Manchester. Would like to visit some new places when I do go there. For a day out.

The science and industry museum
Manchester Museum
Art gallery
go to Ancoats / new Islington and see the marina and visit Pollen bakery.
go to Albert Schloss on a Sunday for a roast and live music.
Visit Escape to Freight island
if you like shopping try the Trafford Centre.
see a show.
get the train out to knutsford and visit Tatton Park

Don't go to the Arndale!
Spinningfields or Northern Quarter or Antcoats for a mooch around

Afflex palace if it's still there

It is - and I am officially the coolest Mum on the planet for introducing my teen and her friends to it

Northern quarter, Affleck Palace, many museums, John Rylands library, At Peter's square area.

Second John Ryland's library - it's a beautiful building.

The arndale is possibly the worst thing in. Manchester

The museums and galleries are amazing , so many cool bars and restaurants particularly spinning fields or northern quarter

Manchester Cathedral and Chetham’s School of Music. :)
