Begin your journey at the front entrance of Manchester Cathedral, where Andy, your guide, easily spotted in his green hoodie, welcomes you. From there, explore a selection of Manchester’s most storied pubs, including the Old Wellington, Sinclair’s Oyster Bar, Sam’s Chophouse, Mr. Thomas Chophouse, Old Nag’s Head, The Briton’s Protection, Peveril of the Peak, and the historic Little Ireland area.
At each stop, Andy weaves together tales of music, football, the suffragettes, Peterloo, and the city’s ever-changing skyline, bringing Manchester’s history to life through the lens of its pubs.
This tour is more than a history lesson, it’s a heartfelt exploration of Manchester’s transformation, the challenges faced by its communities, and the enduring spirit of its people. Hear about the links between pubs, social change, and the realities of homelessness, all while supporting a social enterprise that empowers guides who have experienced homelessness themselves.
End your tour outside The Salisbury, right by Oxford Street Station, leaving you perfectly placed to continue your own Manchester adventure.
