Tours and Activities in Manchester and the North
Carmel Smickersgill, Tours & Activities EditorWe should always strive to push beyond our comfort zones, familiar haunts and routine ideas of fun. Learning new things and exploring buildings that you may have walked past hundreds of times without noticing is a great way to stay engaged with the place you call home. Break out of your everyday routine with some of the tours and activities we’ve rounded up below.
Embrace fierce femininity with the inspired artistry, out there aesthetics and pulse quickening performances at Burlesque off the Wall. Band on the wall’s resident Burlesque night is not one to be missed. Later in the year, the venue are also hosting one of independent music’s biggest events of the year as they open their doors to the Un-Convention.
For those looking to learn, check out the gallery tours at Manchester Art Gallery or the Strike! tour at the People’s History Museum. Both are led by highly passionate and knowledgable guides.
For something more people-orientated why not join Manchester Jewish Museum in their Jewish Culture Club. A space for people to discuss and come together over Jewish works of culture, art and entertainment.
