Cathedral Church of St. John The Evangelist (Salford Cathedral)

The Grade II listed Cathedral Church of St John the Evangelist, Salford. The mother church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Salford. A sanctuary in the city. Come an see the beauty of our mother church.

Reviewed By lokeith50

No matter you are a Catholic Christian or not, I am sure you will feel peaceful and blessed when you visit this Cathedral. You will also be impressed by its historical building and the solemn church altar. Don't miss the opportunity to pray in the church and share your secrecy with God.

Barton Swing Aqueduct

Reviewed By loobygm - Somerset, United Kingdom

An amazing feat of engineering that is a fantastic reminder of the history of the Bridgewater Canal and also the man made Manchester Ship canal. A must visit. Walk up to the aqueduct on the Trafford park side and marvel at the view of the two bridges and canals.

Salford Museum & Art Gallery

Salford Museum and Art Gallery was the UK’s ‘first free public library’, which opened in January 1850, followed in November by a museum and art gallery. The building was a mansion house known as Lark Hill, which had been built in the 1790s and has given its name to our famous Lark Hill Place; a Victorian street within the museum. Today, Salford Museum and Art Gallery presents an exciting programme of permanent displays and changing contemporary exhibitions together with a range of events and activities guaranteed to inspire which completes a must visit experience for individuals, families, schools and organisations to come and enjoy. When you have visited the galleries why not pop into our cafe or purchase a souvenir in the museum shop. Our learning and outreach programme allows everyone to get involved with the museum - perhaps taking part in a Victorian washday, learning new crafts or reminiscing with our memory boxes. We offer free admission and welcome all children accompanied by a responsible adult.

This museum cannot be faulted fab exhibits Lovely shop and cafe with an extensive menu and very quick service in a really pleasant setting overlooking peel park I have one tiny personal moan which is soya lattes are traditionally made with sweetened soya milk not the unsweetened that is served Here it was also a very cheap bitter brand But otherwise the visit was a great success and I will be bringing other friends and family to visit

There is never a dull day at MediaCityUK. Atmosphere is central to the MediaCityUK ethos and with a host of cultural and sporting attractions, cinemas, world class events, shopping, an abundance of bars and restaurants and a diversity of people living and working here - atmosphere is certainly something that is never lacking.

Reviewed By P2110PPhannahm

Ordsall Hall is a fab place to visit with kids, or just as adults. Its a wonderful place to learn about Manchesters incredible history. There are information boards and the restoration work makes you feel like you've stepped back in time. The staff are also so friendly and helpful...I highly recommend a visit!

Reviewed By adamwL6274 - Salford, United Kingdom

I live nearby, and it's always nice to have a wander around the area, there's lot to see, and some great places to eat and drink at(when they're open!), especially in the summer or on a crisp winters day. The only disappointment is The Lowry Outlet Mall, they really need to do something with this place, the amount of empty retail units makes me wonder how it affords to keep trading, I assume it's the food outlets that bring in the money. Every time I go, there seem to be less and less shops open, with nobody replacing them, such a shame.
