Tours and Activities in the North
Carmel Smickersgill, Tours & Activities EditorWe’ve got many a good time in store this month as we round up the best walking tours, cultural classes and makers markets in the land.
First up we’re taking an in-depth look at Walking Tours by Jonathan Schofield – Manchester’s top tour provider and a registered Blue Badge Guide since 1996. We’ve put together a whole guide that explores his many, many tours – all of which get you closer to the sights, sounds, and feel of the city.
A different walking tour courtesy of Joe Feeley. His Rock and Goal Tour will have you exploring the Manchester streets where footballing and musical history have been made.
Hopping to our favourite temple of good times, Altogether Otherwise are hosting a Céilí as part of their Singing and Dancing season, which looks set to be a hoot. And People’s History Museum hosts its first ever May Day Makers Markets, where you can shop handmade goods, find unique gifts and take part in creative workshops.
And over in Leeds, Pyramid Arts are holding an open studio where you can take a closer look at the work being created in this unique environment. It’s open to everyone, but of particular interest to those wanting to learn more about inclusive arts and making art accessible.
