What To Do In Manchester in 2011
Manchester has, for a considerable time, been a focal point for artistic and sporting accomplishment, and in the last ten years it has prospered and succeeded in modernising itself and pulling in many thousands of visitors annually. The city’s large temporary population, consisting of holiday visitors and business travellers, are waking up to the joys of staying in Manchester serviced apartments.
A Trio Of Manchester Events To Try In 2011
The Manchester International Festival
30 June – 17 July
This is the third Manchester International Festival and is featuring still more new and original work from some of the world’s most outstanding musicians, artists and actors.
Which Artists Will I See?
The Engish National Opera are partnering with Damon Albarn of Blur fame, Bjork is spending three weeks here on her first UK date in three years and the world famous Teatro Real Madrid are performing another world premier of the life and death of one of theatre’s godmothers, Marina Abramovic. Perhaps you saw Damon Albarn performing one of the songs from the Opera on Andrew Marr’s TV show? A treat in store, I think!
The Crash of the Elysium, a brand new Dr Who adventure for children is set to ignite imaginations at MediaCity. Without the audience the world will not be saved!! There is so much else besides, you are guaranteed a good time.
The Unforgetable RHS Flower Show Just Outside Manchester
For four days: July 20th -24th
Visit professionally designed gardens and those designed by children this year. Explore two popular garden categories; visionary gardens to inspire your own back yard and back to back gardens for those of us with smaller plots. The popular Ladies’ Day will be a chance for more floral displays; on clothing as well as in the gardens! Enjoy many fashion shows during the day, dress up to the nines and win the best dressed prize and sample the best of Fortnum and Mason at their cocktail party in the evening.
Cricketing Giants Display Their Complete Skills
2nd October 2011
M.E.N. Arena
For those who love sport, of course Manchester has everything, with two first class soccer teams competing from this city. Now the city showcases its second sport too. Bowling, batting and fielding prowess will all be put the test at a brand new one day cricket event. Who is the hardest hitting batsman? Who bowls the fastest? All the answers to the questions you have been asking for years provided in this titanic contest in Manchester. Aussie captain David Boon will lead a team against Freddie Flintoff’s English side. Meanwhile a battle of two mighty nations will be taking place between Wasim Akram’s Pakistan team and the Indian side, led by Virender Sehwag. Aiming to deliver the best of what cricket and cricketers have to offer, the organisers are promising crowds the chance to see what is usually only on show at top class training sessions.
Where To Stay
With so many visitors to one city, temporary accommodation could be in short supply.
Some will make their way to serviced apartments in Manchester, for a more spacious and relaxing stay near the city center and especially suitable for families and small groups.With SACO’s Manchester serviced apartments, you can enjoy spacious and exceedingly well appointed accommodation that lets you relax as if you were at home. The site in the Piccadilly area of the city is great for getting around, being near metro link (tram) and bus stops and only 5 minutes walk from the train station.
Manchester has so much to see. Enjoy your stay.
