Ask any Mancunian and they’ll tell you there’s nothing unofficial about the designation of Manchester as “the uncrowned capital of the North”. It’s a city bursting with character, diversity and energy – and a place where anything can happen. Manchester city centre is jam-packed with eclectic bars, eateries and pubs – just take your pick. Of course, don’t forget about the music; there are gigs aplenty and, in the city that gave the world Oasis’ Liam and Noel Gallagher, you’d be wise to pay attention to the up-and-comers. Manchester is known throughout the world as the birthplace of the industrial revolution and it’s a legacy that lives on. The commercial scene is thriving, with startups, bankers, entrepreneurs and creatives all networking to drive business in the bustling northern city.
