Since the wedding doesn’t start until 4.30pm, if you’ve got time to kill before the big do or are planning on making a weekend of it then we highly recommend some of these things that make Manchester great! 

Some of our favourite things to do in Manchester are:

Quicky, alternative, geeky, independent businesses. 
The Football Museum
If you're a football fan then this awesome interactive museum is brilliant. 

Cheetams and John Rylands Libraries

We love going for a walk along castlefield canal in the summer, its beautiful and highlights the industrial history of this great city.
