Savor the saturnine and serendipitous Septemberish sun and odd shower on a New Manchester Walks walk. We will be covering the vast range of the city’s historical, cultural and sociable subjects: from the Grand Hotels and Hidden Gems to the Masterpieces of Manchester Art, Architecture & Design, with the odd Town Hall tour and exploration of JOhn Rylands Library – and much more besides.

* No need to book; just turn up.
