Now that we have a year to go until Bretts 40th birthday bonanza, we decided to have one last little weekend break for his birthday. We chose a city that we love but havent visited since before Covid- Manchester! There is a great food and drink scene up here ranging from the independent spots in the Northern Quarter to the higher end places in Spinningfields. We have been to Manchester a few times but still have a huge list of places that we havent tried, which is good as we have booked a few theatre shows here in 2022.


We always find Manchester hotels cost nearly as much as London especially over the weekends, so we chose somewhere cheap and cheerful that we have stayed before- Ibis Styles! Its similar vibe to a Premier Inn but with funky quirky decor themed around the city each branch is located in. We are staying Sunday- Tuesday so paid the bargain price of £40 per night! It is within walking distance of the train station and all the main spots in the city



I thought we would struggle to find decent food as most places are closed post Covid on Mondays and Tuesdays but we got the places that we wanted.

Our plans are

Day One
Train over to Manchester to drop the bags off at the hotel

Lunch at American Pies


Visit the Science and Industry Museum


Disney On Ice at the Arena



Late dinner at The Blues Kitchen


Day Two
Lunch at Australasia


Bowling and Shooting at Lane 7


Cocktails at The Washhouse


Dinner at Chakalaka


Day Three
Lunch at Alchemist



Darts at Flight Club


INDEX
DAY ONE
