A compact city centre means you and the girls can easily see the sights on foot, there are decent cycle lanes too if you fancy hiring one of the Starling Bank Bikes, which cost 50p to unlock and then 5p per minute to hire. There is also a tram service if you want to rest your feet, Metrolink is extremely reliable and stops at all the main hotspots. Think overground tube service and you will get the picture. Using the tram is also great value with an all zone travelcard costing just £4.90!  If any of your party needs to fly, Manchester Airport is just 20-minutes away from the city centre by rail. FYI, There are four railway stations in Manchester, Piccadilly, Victoria, Oxford Road, and Deansgate. Overall, the city is incredibly accessible and getting around is an absolute breeze! 

Tips and ideas

You will soon see why Manchester has been dubbed the capital of the North, there is literally so much to do here you and the girls will struggle to fit it all into just one weekend. We have scoured the streets of one of our favourite cities on many occasions, here are some recommendations to get you started on your mad for it Manchester hen weekend!   

  • Deansgate - A mile long road running through the city centre. Deansgate is a focal point for many celebrations, including the Manchester Pride Parade which takes place during  August bank holiday every year. Deansgate is also home to museums, libraries and other notable buildings. 
  • Spinning Fields - A beacon of regeneration in Manchester following a 78 billion cash injection, Spinning Fields is now one of the most vibrant and exciting areas to explore in the city. Boasting high end designer stores such as Mulberry, Flannels and Emporio Armani, and with over 45 lively bars and restaurants, you and the girls will literally have a field day, a spinning field day!  
  • Canal Street - Manchester is famous for having a flourishing gay culture, and hosts one of the biggest and best UK Pride celebrations each year, with tens of thousands of people flocking to join in the fun from all over the world. Situated in the gay village, Canal Street is where all of the main bars and clubs are situated and anyone from the LGBTQ+ can expect to receive a warm welcome. Generally speaking, as a ;large group, if you wish to attend any of the bars and clubs on the Manchester scene, please ensure you contact the venue in advance.  
  • Oxford Road - Home to many of the city's live music venues, this is the place to head for vibey nightlife. Iconic bands such as The Sex Pistols, Joy Division and The Smiths have graced the stages in this part of town, some would say it’s hallowed ground! You will also find an abundance of cafes among the stunning architecture, green spaces and historical landmarks. 
  • Great Northern - This former railway warehouse is located in the centre of the city is the perfect place to spend some time on your hen weekend (no matter what the weather), eating, shopping or partaking in super fun activities such as indoor-space-themed-roller skating with cocktails at Paradise Skate World (this activity alone is enough to entice us here at Hen Party Deals!) and Lane 7 which houses everything from bowling to beer pong!  
  • Chinatown - Manchester's Chinatown is actually one of the largest outside of China and is the centre of the Chinese community here. The area boasts not only restaurants, but also supermarkets and Chinese medicine shops and Casinos. It’s definitely worth a visit, even just for a stroll through.
