Fave Things To Do In Manchester

FAVE THINGS TO DO IN MANCHESTER

The idea of doing this post came to me the other day, when I was thinking about all the fun things I've done since moving to Manchester back in September. Manchester is such an incredible city, full of so many different things to see and do. There's an excitement that comes with being here, like you're in the centre of something magical and full of possibility, hope, potential; it's like anything could happen. For me originating from a small city, being here in Manchester, a huge city in comparison, is endlessly exciting because it always feels like there's something to do, see, explore. Any time I feel bored, I can just walk into the city and find something to do, be inspired, or I can head to the internet and see what's happening in the week ahead. It's amazing, and since being here I've discovered some really fantastic places and things to do, which I would love to tell you about, whether you live here already, or are tempted to come here and see what it's all about...
