Description
Embark on a mesmerizing journey through Manchester's Northern Quarter with this engaging outdoor mystery walk, reminiscent of an escape room but outdoors.

Now experience all this in an exciting new way with our twisting, puzzle-filled tour through the paint-covered streets.
Along the way, you'll discover a pet shop owner's dream, a haunted pub that moved 40 miles, a number of touching memorials, and lamps that illuminate in more than one way. All this plus puzzles, challenges, great pubs and cafes and plenty of surprises. Immerse yourself in the artistic canvas of the Northern Quarter. This trail is perfect for groups eager to explore the hidden secrets of one of Manchester's best districts and the history that made it what it is today.
