"Lovers of both books and architecture will delight in one of Manchester’s most beloved buildings. This neogothic structure is filled with one of the most extensive collections of literature in the entire country, but it’s not just for academics. Spend a few hours getting lost in its many rooms, staircases and corridors to fully appreciate the attention to detail of the building."

"0 km from city center 4 out of 12 places to visit in Manchester. John Rylands Library is considered to be one of the oldest gems in the city of Manchester. It is considered to be a masterpiece with Victorian Gothic style of architecture and it is any book lover's dream place."

"Art lovers will also want to visit the nearby Millennium Gallery. This bright, modern attraction features metalwork, contemporary art, and design exhibitions, as well as the city's unique Ruskin collections. It also hosts touring exhibitions from partners, including the Victoria and Albert, the Tate, and the National Portrait Gallery."

"Manchester's second most important art gallery is arguably its most beautiful, following a restoration that saw the doubling of its exhibition space through the opening of its sides and back, and the construction of glass-screened promenades. Inside is a fine collection of British watercolours, the best selection of historic textiles outside London and galleries devoted to the work of artists from Dürer and Rembrandt to Lucian Freud and David Hockney."

"Take a walk right down to the end of Oxford Road and you’ll find The Whitworth. An impressive and ornate red-brick structure, this popular Manchester art gallery certainly looks the part from the outside – and once inside visitors will find over 60,000 internationally important artworks to explore. Everything from weaving to sculpture is included within its recently refurbished walls – and best of all, much of it is free to explore."

"Located just down the road from our Peel Park campus, this lovely little place combines art with coffee, tea and cake. The tea room offers a very relaxed atmosphere, as well as daily home-baked cakes, while the upstairs gallery is home to six week long exhibitions with work by local artists, including some from Salford students. Hot drinks are reasonably priced and the decor is stunning."

"Yvette Fielding opened this tearoom and even pours the tea herself – so if you want a dining experience with a difference then this is sure to be it. The venue itself is set next to the famous Manchester Cathedral with views that look across towards Salford. It is virtually impossible to walk past without being tempted to go inside and enjoy a slice of cake or an afternoon tea."

"Thankfully, Cake Box now delivers straight to your doorstep!. All their products are free from meat and eggs. They do, however, use cream in most of their items."

"With a mention as one of the Guardian’s best cheap eats in Sheffield and winner of Eat Sheffield’s Best Café Award, Blue Moon is a go-to for vegetarian and vegan grub in the city centre. Housed in a distinctive blue and white building next to Sheffield Cathedral, it’s not hard to spot either and the high ceilinged interior makes it a rather “zen” little spot to get away from deadline madness.2, St James Row, Facebook: Blue Moon Cafe"

"Winner of the Social Sheffield Award for Best Vegan/Vegetarian Food 2018 this vegetarian restaurant is a great option for vegan dining in the city centre with its location right next to the cathedral. Each day they have two vegan and one vegetarian dish on offer including salads, stew, rice, pastries, cakes and more."

"Having recently undergone a major transformation, Remo’s is well-placed to further cement it’s status as one of the cornerstone destinations for great food and coffee in the Broomhilll area. With deals such as £4.95 for a coffee and a slice of cake, the cafe bistro is a great place to spend a couple of hours away from the stresses of university life. The passion of the Remo’s team for great coffee is evident in the drinks they serve, using Caffe del Moro, one of the oldest coffee companies in the world."

"Remo's is a traditional Italian cafe, deli, and bistro and offers brunch with an Italian twist, such as eggs Benedict on which the hollandaise sauce is made with freshly imported Italian cheese."

"We were totally chapati about Bhaji Pala when we popped over to Cheadle to review it when it first opened. This entirely vegan Indian restaurant is sure to please everyone, plant-based or not. There are classics here, of course, like chana masala and tadka dal but less familiar dishes from the subcontinent’s culinary treasure chest abound as well as creative adaptations like tandoori broccoli, gram flour ‘omelettes’ and pinwheel spinach samosas."
