"Castlefield Basin" and lying on its grass is one of my favourite ways to pass a summer's day in Manchester... Many people love it as a gentrified oasis...

"The Makers Market" in Manchester's Northern Quarter is definitely the place to go for alternative wares! No matter what you're looking for, you'll find it

"Sugar Junction" in Manchester is my favourite place to go for a classic afternoon tea. It has a lovely vintage style and even great cocktails!

"Corbieres Wine Cavern" is well known by Manchester locals. It's a basement bar with a great drink selection, though the main attraction is the jukebox...

"The Art of Tea" is a lovely mix of a cafe, bar and bookshop. It's the perfect place to spend a Sunday afternoon in Manchester sipping a chai...

"Mockingbirds" is an independent boutique and my favorite place to shop for clothes in the whole of Manchester. The lady inspires me to be more daring...
