The Top 10 Things to Do in Manchester this week

The clocks may have gone back - but there's no need to let the dark nights stop you enjoying our amazing city!

The Manchester10 iPhone app gives you the top ten things to do in Manchester each week direct to your phone for free.



1. This week sees the skies of Manchester lighting up with bonfires and fireworks. Stay safe if you are having a fireworks party at home – or why not go to a local organised event. Our tip, Platt Fields Fireworks, on Friday 5th November.



2. Or if sparklers aren’t your thing, why not try Mr Scruff’s Keep it Unreal at Band on the Wall, the alternate way to spend Guy Fawkes Night.


3. The Asia Triennial is now on and includes Dark Matters at the Whitworth


4. There’s a rare opportunity to truly see inside the John Rylands Library on Friday 4th November.


5. Take a nostalgic trip into the 1950s, with Dreamboats and Petticoats at The Lowry all week.


6. Go back a little further, and attend the Victoria Bath’s Open Day on Sunday 6th November.



7. Or venture back even further, and experience Tudors Live! at Ordsall Hall, also on Sunday.



8. If you missed out on Stone Roses tickets, why not catch another of the homecoming gigs taking place in the city this week, with two evening with James at The Bridgewater Hall on the 31st October and the 1st November…


9. ...Or the Travelling Band at Academy 3 on Wednesday 2nd November.


10. Or if all of that just seems too much like hard work – why not relax in one of Manchester’s newest, and most unusual bars, The Oasthouse, just opened in Spinningfields?

  1. Went to Keep it Unreal when it was at the Music Box in about 2003. Still never been anywhere like it. Must check it out again!
