A fascinating way to blow away the Christmas cobwebs, steeped in Manchester history. Join historian Emma Fox for a thoughtful winter wander through Southern Cemetery, exploring the lives of the Mancunians who helped shape the city’s character. From pioneering aviator John Alcock and industrial powerhouse John Rylands to cultural figures like Sir Matt Busby, LS Lowry, The Smiths’ Andy Rourke and Factory Records luminary Tony Wilson, the tour weaves together history, music, sport and art in one peaceful loop through Victorian avenues and quiet green corners. It’s reflective, packed with stories you won’t hear anywhere else, and a perfect way to reset in that slow stretch between Christmas and New Year.
