Home to countless independent retail stores, record shops, coffee shops, cultural attractions, music venues, art installations, restaurants, and the world-famous indoor market - Afflecks Palace.

Chinatown

Full of colour and flavour, Manchester’s Chinatown is the second largest in the UK and the third largest in Europe and is home to great shopping and amazing restaurants. No visit to Manchester’s Chinatown is complete without sitting down for an authentic Chinese meal. We are particularly fond of dim sum – bite-sized dumplings prepared in lots of ways. If you’re in Manchester in February, don’t miss the annual Chinese New Year festival, a highlight in the Manchester events calendar, it includes amazing food stalls and dancing Dragons in this famous parade!

Fun for the whole family, discover everything you might want to know about the game, stadiums, clubs, players and more!
