Boasting many eateries, Rusholme’s Wilmslow Road offers some of the best Pakistani, Indian and Middle Eastern Food in the North West. 

Close by is Platt Fields Park – with a wealth of leisure facilities for all ages – families can really enjoy exploring its vast 16 acres. Prepare a picnic, grab a blanket and enjoy two children’s playgrounds and a beautiful central lake, perfect for watching the local wildlife. The park also has a super BMX track and a great set of ramps at the skatepark. Anyone is welcome to turn up and have a go, provided they have the right safety equipment. 

If it’s raining outside, The Whitworth, one of the UK’s best art and design centres, always has a packed programme of creative activities for families. Situated just a short distance away, all of the family workshops and events are free.
