A lovely artisan craft centre full of individual shops selling handmade jewellery, clothes, pottery, leather goods and paintings. Beautiful building with the sun streaming through the glass ceiling. Plus a lovely little cafe selling drinks and cakes. Definitely worth visiting if you're looking for a unique gift or piece of art.
Amazing place and very very nicely reused old building. I visit the place just for 5 minutes but it was so nice, that I stayed 45 minutes. Inside you will have different shops of crafts and arts. And all item are hand made. And you can see the artist working inside their shops and making new piece of art or craft. There is also a small space where kids can sit and make there own art piece. So you can also visit with your family. Definitely visit place in Manchester.
