The Arndale Centre sits at the very heart of Manchester’s bustling city centre and is one of the UK’s largest and most popular indoor shopping destinations. Home to more than 200 stores, it brings together a mix of high-street favourites, independent retailers, and major department stores, making it a one-stop destination for fashion, lifestyle, beauty, and technology.
Alongside its impressive retail offering, the centre also features a wide variety of restaurants, cafés, and fast-food outlets, catering to everything from a quick snack on the go to a sit-down meal with friends. Its central location means visitors can easily combine a shopping trip with exploring nearby attractions, cultural venues, and nightlife.
With its vibrant atmosphere, convenient facilities, and year-round events, the Arndale Centre has become a landmark in Manchester and a key part of the city’s shopping and leisure scene.
In addition to the famous Market Street, Manchester is home to a vibrant mix of speciality markets that pop up throughout the year. From the world-renowned Christmas Markets, which transform the city centre into a festive wonderland, to quirky artisan and craft fairs, vintage clothing stalls, and bustling street food markets, there’s always something unique to explore. These markets bring together local makers, international flavours, and seasonal events, offering visitors the chance to shop, eat, and soak up Manchester’s lively atmosphere beyond the high street.
Not far from Manchester, you’ll find yourself in the heart of Bronte Country – an area of dramatic moorland and rolling hills made famous by the Brontë sisters and their classic novels. This stunning corner of West Yorkshire is perfect for those who love wild, open scenery, charming villages, and a touch of literary history.
The village of Haworth is the star of the region, with its cobbled streets, cosy pubs, independent shops, and of course the Brontë Parsonage Museum, once home to Charlotte, Emily, and Anne. Beyond the village, you can wander the same windswept moors that inspired Wuthering Heights or take a ride on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, a beautifully preserved heritage steam railway.
With plenty of characterful B&Bs, country inns, and boutique cottages, Brontë Country makes an ideal escape — whether you’re planning a full weekend away or just a scenic day trip from Manchester.
