Northern Quarter Nooks
Embark on a mesmerizing adventure through Manchester's Northern Quarter with this engaging outdoor mystery walk, reminiscent of an escape room! Once the heart of the world's textile industry, the Northern Quarter has transformed itself into a thriving hub of culture and alternative commerce, boasting an inspiring tapestry of public art, hidden sculptures, and painted streets alive with murals.
Your team will receive clues on their phones, which, when solved, will lead them on a journey that highlights the area's unique atmosphere, secret spots, and beloved pubs, bars, and cafes. The entire adventure is walkable, and the clues encourage teamwork and interaction with the vibrant surroundings, with no prior knowledge needed.
As you weave your way through the Northern Quarter with vexing riddles and cryptic clues, you'll discover a pet shop owner's dream, a haunted pub that moved 40 miles, touching historic and modern memorial tragedies, and so much more. Immerse yourself in the artistic canvas of the Northern Quarter and feel Manchester's love for its roots shine through as you explore its captivating streets and hidden gems with CityDays.
