RNCM Summer Season 2023

San Carlo Fumo may be part of a chain, but it doesn’t feel like it. Right at the top of Oxford Road, it’s lavishly decorated and specialises in cicchetti, or Italian small plates.

Utility Gift Shop on Oxford Road is all about products that are new, unique, quirky and cool. High street shopping at its best.

Situated on Oxford Road, BrewDog Manchester Outpost is a great spot to enjoy tasty BrewDog beers and a wide-spread guest selection.

A hidden gem of a library and museum – a tiny treat hidden on MMU’s All Saints campus

The Principal Manchester (formerly The Palace Hotel) is one of Manchester’s most iconic buildings.

Following a major redevelopment, the iconic venue on Oxford Road will be reopening its doors to welcome the public back into the building this autumn. 

This traditional boozer, surrounded by imposing flats and university buildings, was taken over by Trof (of the Deaf Institute fame). The Sally, as the regulars call it, hosts an energetic, arty crowd – and its recently expanded outside area is another good reason to visit.

Pavement Gallery is a window space on a street corner providing a highly visible stage for the display of international contemporary art.

Events venue, shop, eat and relax at MMU Student’s Union, the heart of Manchester Metropolitan University.

Manchester Metropolitan University Students’ Union building houses a bar and various other facilities for students and staff.

The Deaf Institute is a vibrant gig venue and nightclub for which it is well worth taking a jaunt out of the Northern Quarter.
