Leisure

Manchester’s gay scene is famously one of Britain’s friendliest, busiest and most welcoming. There’s a huge range of stylish bars and clubs in the Gay Village and while here you’ll find shopping heaven, an arts scene to match anywhere in Europe and more trendy restaurants than you can shake a credit card at…

Manchester has a thriving cultural scene with plenty of art galleries and museums, a lively comedy circuit, many theatres offering traditional and contemporary performances. And it’s rock, pop and dance music heritage vies with its classical orchestras and operatic shows.

Our partner school has compiled a list of Great Things to See and Do in Manchester as well as a list of the Best Gay venues, attractions and events.

The school organises a lively social and activity programme for all its students that you are most welcome to join.

The school will also advise you on excursions outside Greater Manchester to Liverpool, Blackpool, the Lake District, Chester and beyond.
