A Cosy Autumn Break in Manchester
Now that summer has past and there’s a slight chill in the air, it’s time to get cosy! Whilst you may think of Manchester as the bustling and lively city it can be, there’s a warmer side to us too. As Manchester staycation experts, we have pulled together this guide to inspire your next Autumnal getaway.
Take a stroll
Is there anything more wholesome than a walking trail? We don’t think so, Manchester is full of natural beauty spots and great woodland trails perfect for an afternoon stroll. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just looking for a more calm, casual walk there’s a trail for you!
Join us for Afternoon Tea
Our Todd Street Café is good for more than just a great cup of coffee! After a long walk, head back to Hotel Indigo Manchester to enjoy a tasty afternoon tea at Todd Street Café. Chat and laugh with a loved one over finger sandwiches or people-watch with a delicious sweet treat. Flooded with natural light and a warm atmosphere.
Catch a show
The perfect rainy-day activity, a trip to the theatre is always a trip highlight. Our local theatre, the Royal Exchange offers guests a unique viewing experience with a theatre-in-the-round performance style. Take a trip to the Royal Exchange Theatre from November 23rd and see the heartfelt musical comedy Spend Spend Spend. A true story following Viv Nicholas who won £150,000 on the football pool only to lose it all.
Explore a bookshop
Manchester is booming with quirky independent bookstores, the famous Northern Quarter is a hotspot for avid and casual readers alike. Anywhere Out Of The World is a quaint second-hand bookshop, a must-visit for those looking to grab their next read. Pay a visit to Europe’s largest LGBTQ+ bookstore, Queer Lit. This award-winning bookshop is helping to empower LGBTQ+ voices and offer visitors a space to sit down, have a coffee and get their hands on the latest must-reads. For lovers of art, fashion and counterculture, UNITOM located in the Northern Quarter is the place to visit!
Sunday Lunch at Mamucium
A trip to Manchester would not be complete without indulging in a Great British classic. When the weather starts to turn colder, there’s nothing truly nothing better than a good old-fashioned roast. With a Sunday Lunch at Mamucium you can treat yourself and a loved one to dishes like treacle-cured roast rump of beef or slow-cooked crispy pork belly, with a delicious Yorkshire pudding of course!
