Great Northern
Great Northern is a vibrant city centre destination in Manchester, housed within a historic Grade II* listed Warehouse and featuring Europe's longest Victorian Terrace. It's a fantastic spot to eat, drink, and play, offering diverse food options from Spanish tapas to gourmet burgers, alongside exciting entertainment like axe throwing, bowling, and a casino. Families will appreciate the free indoor play space, 'Little Northerners', making it a welcoming place for all ages.
Parked in the very expensive car park (£35 for 24 hours) and walked through the shopping centre but to exit, it was mainly deserted. Returned the next day to my car to see another car had been broken into and vandalised. No security guards around. Location, however, is central and convenient!
The most run down cinema I’ve been in. All seats have stains. Missing head rests. Popcorn all over the floor. Definitely need a shower after going here.

Through the years, this place hasn't quite been the success that it could have been; great location, nice space and architecture but not enough footfall to gain traction business wise. Which is a shame because there are some lovely places to go to here! Fortunately (we hope), plans are in to turn this site into a new commercial and residential area whilst keeping the historic facade. Until then, this place still offers an interesting time to explore. Decent photo opportunities and also do visit the local shops especially along the Mews.
I thought we were coming to a much larger sandpit than it was, yet the kids had a good time. The area is not too great, yet it's simple enough to get there by bus plus a little bit of walking.
A nice complex of converted Victorian warehouses in central Manchester with shops, restaurants, cinema and if you fancy playing bowling while in the city you can go to the bowling alley there. There is also a hidden casino if you want to win some money or to loss what you have in the hope to win . The outside plaza is fantastic and you can sit and relax there to read or eat your sandwich or takeaway and you can finish it with a scope or two of ice-cream from the hut in the corner of the plaza
