The Best Places to Visit in Manchester
Whitworth Art Gallery
- This lovely gallery is now the ideal blend of old and new, taking the best of its Victorian origins and adding a modern section that beautifully reflects the variety of work on display inside.
- It underwent a significant renovation and expanded throughout its existing gallery space and into Whitworth Park.
- After being closed for several years, the re-opening exhibitions, ranging from Cornelia Parker's incredible collection to Sarah Lucas's cheeky "Tits in Space" to Cai Guo-sublime Qiang's moving gunpowder works, were of international significance.
- The gallery's programming will continue to have a global focus.
Manchester Art Gallery
- The main art gallery in Manchester, with its imposing shape and tranquil oasis in the middle of the city, houses its outstanding collection and changing exhibitions.
- What a collection it is as well. A genuinely world-class gallery is created by the nearly 13,000 paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, and other works of art, as well as the similar number of craft and design items in the collection.
- The magnificent Pre-Raphaelite pieces, an exciting look at LS Lowry and his teacher Adolphe Valette, and individual works by Waterhouse and Millais are of particular note.
- The choice comes from an impressive contemporary gallery and is a stunning vase by Grayson Perry.
- The family activity area with hands-on activities is precious for those travelling with young children.
- The city's best collection of artwork is housed in a modern addition connected to the main structure by a glass walkway and atrium. The architecture reflects the old and the newfound in the artwork.

Manchester Off the Beaten Track
Tatton Park
- The present mansion, constructed on the site of an even older residence in 1716, still stands today.
- Even among the thousand acres of landscaped parkland and gardens, its neo-classical architecture and elevated location make it a breathtakingly grand sight.
- The house's interior, which features luxurious furnishings and a fantastic collection of books, furniture, and artwork, is just as spotless as its exterior. Consider taking a good look around.
- The gardens, deer park, lake, and working farm also provide an excellent opportunity to explore, pet, eat, and play, as if the house weren't already impressive enough.
Ordsall Hall
- Anyone with even a passing interest in the history and heritage of the country should pay attention to the numerous significant rooms and features at Ordsall Hall.
- Six pieces of mediaeval stained glass can be found in the east wing, along with surviving examples of domestic spaces from that era.
- The restoration of the Italian plaster ceiling room in the Great Hall, one of the most significant open timber-framed buildings in the area, is quite lovely. It's a fantastic resource for young, curious minds, as you might expect.
- The garden area surrounding the hall is excellent for a picnic with the family or a quick stroll and showcases the various historical eras that the structure has survived.
- However, Ordsall Hall is also well-known for being entirely different and more enigmatic. A young girl can occasionally be seen on the steps leading up to the Great Hall, and a lady dressed in white haunts the hallways.
- There is a ghost cam setup that you can view online, and on regular ghost nights, a select group of believers are welcome to visit and stay up all night with the Ghostbusters. Spooky.

- The Royal Exchange, the UK's largest theatre in the round, is supported by the imposing columns of a former trading hall that was once an international cotton exchange.
- Without Manchester's great post-industrial wealth and global standing, exceptional buildings like the Grade I listed John Rylands Library would not have been possible.
- Manchester's world-class art and textiles collections, held by Manchester Art Gallery and the redeveloped Whitworth, were amassed.

Manchester: Food, Fun & Fashion Guide
Manchester tart
#Food
- Manchester tart's popularity can be partly explained by childhood nostalgia: it was once a staple of city school lunches.
- Layers of raspberry jam, custard, and coconut flakes are sandwiched between shortcrust pastry shells and topped with a maraschino cherry and white icing.
- Robinson's Artisan Family Bakery, located near Manchester City's football stadium and the city's oldest bakery, opened in 1864, is one of the best places to get one.
- It's similar to, but not the same as, Manchester pudding. That endangered dish predates the tarts featured in Mrs Beeton's famous cookbook from the nineteenth century.
- This baked treat has a plain or puff pastry base with jam and a lemon-flavoured custard thickened with gelatin.
Black pudding
#Food
- Bury, a market town in Greater Manchester, is where black pudding originated. It's not a pudding, but a type of blood sausage made with pork blood.
- However, it contains more cereal than European blood sausages. People in the northwest, including Manchester, enjoy it as part of a traditional fry-up.
- It's worth visiting the Bury Black Pudding Co, an award-winning producer with a 100-year history, at the town's market.

Rag pudding and pasty barms

- Another popular stomach filler is the pasty barm, a meat-and-potato pie eaten inside a bread roll.

- Greater Manchester who are passionate about these heritage foods.
