Ho ho ho folks!
Christmas is just around the corner and I’m putting together a simple(ish) meet-up in Manchester city centre on 21 and 22 December 2022. I will be setting up two different meet-ups so that you can sign up for either or both! The premise of these meet-ups is actually because we have a super visitor from Belgium, @JanVanHaver who will be in Manchester from the 21 to 23 December and I will be taking him out exploring Manchester on the first two days. Unfortunately, I will be scooting off to Scotland on the 23 December but not before kicking Jan out onto the streets to fend for himself ![]()
Anyway, the agenda for both days haven’t been finalised yet but it may include a few typical Manchester favourites:
- Christmas markets (definitely)
- National Football Museum
- People History Museum
- Manchester Museum
- Science and Industry Museum
- Imperial War Museum
- Manchester Cathedral
- Media City / Salford Quays
- Northern Quarter / Ancoats
And of course, we’ll be food crawling along the way as and when necessary!
Day 2 will most likely be focused on areas further afield such as Salford Quays! If you’re interested to join in, do comment below and tag me using the @ symbol, stating your intentions. I will update this post once I have more information on what we will be doing on Day 2, where to meet and how to contact me etc. Thanks! ![]()
