Tallika_Fan Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 ooh err, people to do.Manchester's nice enough to walk around the center. there's a heap of shops, deansgate for the flashier ones.I used to go years ago to afflecks palace and the coliseum, (not sure if these are still there) they were the 'alternative' hangout. cool funky stuff. If you're into music then vinyl exchange is a must, cheap music and movie bargains, promos etc.There are more local people on here that can give a better more up to date resume.Enjoy though.

Clairey Fairy Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 ooh err, people to do.Ooops, sorry!Trafford Centre looks good, although im guessing it will like a moshpit on saturday so i might save it for tuesday. What are the clubs like for non-students? When i when to brum there were hundreds of bloody good ones but no entry without student ID They wouldnt even let me in Jongleurs ffs.Just looked on the Gig lists and the best offering they had was Scouting For Girls...The legend that is Michael McIntyre is there but sold out for obvious reasons.

Trafford Centre is fine on Saturday before 2pm, then all the browsers come in, especially if it's raining. City Centre is much better now that the Arndale has been revamped and avoid EMO kids near URBIS and the Triangle outside Selfridges. Take ear defenders if you wander round to M&S, there always seems to be some God-awful drum troupe banging out a din there.Loads of eating and stuff in the centre too - Chinatown is great. I like it and wish I went in more often than the 2 or 3 times a year that I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
