Celebrate the history, culture and exciting future of Media City & Salford Quays on this fact-filled 5km walking tour. Meeting under the big digital screen at the Media City piazza, this healthy outdoor walk takes us alongside the banks of the mighty Manchester Ship Canal and relives the epic tale from Manchester's starring role in the Industrial Revolution to its reinvention at the heart of the UK's media and technology revolution.
Discover hidden gems of information as you marvel at the stunning landmarks and listen as your guide brings the fascinating history to life.
