Manchester Short Breaks: Never Short of Things to Do or See

Discover Serviced Apartments in Manchester and Revel in the City’s Cultural Events.
Manchester’ s enticing programme of year round events, tempts tourists and locals alike to visit. As new expressions of art continue to be developed, the city is regenerating itself and the crowds keep coming back for more. Enjoy the following two events this year in Manchester.

Tenth Birthday at The Lowry.
The Lowry Art and Entertainment space in Manchester is a draw to all who love the visual and performing arts. Family and community events are taking place to mark the centre’s 10th anniversary year, including the huge Unlocking Salford Quays project. From children’s events to pop legends to art exhibitions to The Orchard to musicals, you are sure to find something that inspires at The Lowry. In April, Spencer Tunick, a New York based artist, provided a high point to the celebrations with his naked Salfordian and Mancunian volunteers. That sure drew a crowd!

Celebrating Literature in 2010.
And of course, the Manchester Literature Festival opens its doors from 14th – 25th October. Travelers will discover a large number of literary events throughout Manchester if they are able to stay longer than a day or two. Several famous authors are already booked for this event and the numerous book markets will be an added draw for tourists and locals.

All those visitors need accommodation…
… and for most that will mean a bed and breakfast or hotels. For others, especially groups, families or simply those used to a little more room, an increasingly popular choice is to stay in Manchester serviced apartments near its main attractions. Serviced apartments here in the city centre are comfortable, much more spacious than many hotels and allow you to really unwind after a busy day.

Which serviced apartments in Manchester?
You’ll find the Piccadilly location ideal for travel, leisure, and staying at the heart of things culturally, and there are great examples of some of the best serviced apartments available in the city. The area also hosts Manchester’s main train station which makes accessing the rest of the city and country extremely simple. Just step over the pedestrian bridge to the apartments and you’re home and dry. Perfect accommodation in a great location; why search elsewhere?
