"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."

Manchester’s best city centre art galleries
"CFCCA is the UK leader in Chinese visual culture, with a reputation for debut solo exhibitions and a roster of internationally-renowned artists; impressive considering that, three decades ago, it was just a series of events in Manchester’s Chinatown. As Manchester’s Chinese population is second only to London’s, the centre’s heritage is particularly important; now represented in a new archive and library. Best feature: A vibrant events schedule, spanning film screenings to workshops and even Mandarin lessons"

"The owners of Monolos were frustrated at the lack of eateries which truly catered to children and parents, so they created this unique “restaurant and playhouse “ which serves crowd-pleasing American food such as burgers, steaks and milkshakes, alongside a large soft play area. You can relax knowing that children of all ages will be entertained, whilst you enjoy your food and let them come and go as they please- they will return to the table to eat when they have tired themselves out!.
