Manchester's best free attractions
"A lavish £12 million has been spent on the redevelopment of the People's History Museum on the Left Bank. Hopes are high for a showcase of working-class history where highlights include early political pamphlets, the world's oldest trade union banner, exhibits relating to the Peterloo Massacre and the desk on which Thomas Paine wrote The Rights of Man. The rolling programme of exhibitions starts with Carried Away – a collection of photographs documenting more than 100 years of protest across Britain, from the suffragettes to the miners' strike.Contact: phm.org.uk"

Attractions in Liverpool - Our top 5 cultural attractions
"Liverpool Everyman Theatre, 5-9 Hope Street, Liverpool, Merseyside, L1 9BH - Visit now. The Everyman reopened in March 2014 after extensive renovation to its stage, restaurant and backstage areas; the newly opened version is sustainable, accessible and really rather swish. Inclusiveness runs through the new design – its frontage, dominated by a new “portrait wall”, shows 105 different Liverpool residents, cut into a metal facade."

The stage for early performances from Julie Walters, Bill Nighy and Bernard Hill, this venue is steeped in history – the building itself won the 2014 RIBA Stirling Prize for architecture. Showing a range of plays from classic Shakespeare to brand new material, a show at the Everyman is not to be missed."

"This famously colourful boutique hotel does a stellar afternoon tea. Go for the classic finger sandwiches and scones with jam and delicious clotted cream but swap your cuppa for a tea-inspired cocktail. If you don’t have a sweet tooth, choose the savoury version where cakes are replaced with the likes of sliders, scotch eggs and pigs in blankets."
