Manchester is the regional capital of the north west of England, the UK’s largest economic region outside London. The city was the birthplace of the industrial revolution,  and today is one of Britain's most lively and dynamic cities.

Manchester is the life and soul of the region with more theatres than any other UK city outside London, a wide range of live music venues, two internationally renowned orchestras and a music and club scene of world-wide fame.

Not many cities can boast of having a representation of 30 nationalities of the finest cuisine. Manchester has a global feel and flavour all of its own with restaurants and cafés flying flags from around the world neighbouring each other in a city steeped in history and cosmopolitan in choice.
