Manchester Culture Tours

Manchester is well known for being one of the world’s first multi-cultural cities. Borne from its industrial past, it is somewhat of a ‘melting pot’ of creeds, cultures and influences with people coming from all over the world to work and live in the city, to this very day.

This consistent influx of new people brings a wealth of new ideas to the city, and that is why we offer a tour that is entirely dedicated to the wealth of culture that Manchester has to offer. Our Manchester culture tour is perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in all aspects of Mancunian life, and understand more about how that has changed over time.

Traditional Manchester culture

You may be familiar with the ‘worker bee’ which is a long-standing symbol for Mancunian culture, you’ll find it engraved into all of the traffic bollards that line the inner city’s pedestrian streets. This is where our cultural journey begins, reflecting upon how the industrial revolution brought people worldwide to live and work in the city. Experience where the squalor of working-class life played out, in the shadows of the factory and warehouse systems that remain standing with new, fresh purposes today. Of course, those working people wanted to be entertained - and you can learn more about how the concept of the ‘weekend’ has roots in Mancunian culture.

Manchester’s culture is tied to its food

They say that in Manchester you can eat for 6 weeks and have something different each day, never the same thing twice. With such a vibrant and multicultural population the city has a fantastic array of food and drink available, spanning traditional English & British options through to Asian, South American and Indian options. There is a real culture of support for independent vendors here in Manchester, the heartbeat of which can be found in the city’s ‘do it yourself’ Northern Quarter district. Further, the city boasts the largest student population of any city in Europe - many of whom are international students on placement, so you’ll learn and see more about why so many different types of people call Manchester their home.
