It’s the start of a New Year and there’s no better time to take up a new hobby or visit somewhere you haven’t been before.

Whatever your age, interests or ability – there’s lots of stuff happening in Manchester.

Visit a museum for the first time or have a walk around an art gallery. Try a comedy night or watch a show at the theatre. There’s plenty to see and do.

New Year is also a great time to take up a new challenge, get healthy and meet new friends. You’ll find lots of fitness classes and sports activities happening in MCRactive’s leisure centres alongside park runs and sports events in our city’s parks.

Here are a few ideas to get you started…Happy New Year!
