Did you know that the Northern Quarter in Manchester has doubled up for both London & New York in countless films & television shows over the years? From The Crown, Morbius, Captain America, It's A Sin, Ridley Road, Boiling Point & the new Netflix drama 'House of Guinness' & new American series 'The Talamasca' to name just a few.
Manchester is truly a dynamic city because of its range of building textures with its many unique structures old & new, with Castlefield doubling up for 1930/40's Birmingham for the last season of Peaky Blinders and also the movie version; it's no wonder Manchester has had its busiest year so far as a filming location destination.
Join The Locationist -MCR - The only dedicated filming locations tour in the city - as you discover areas that will take you from the beautiful views, canals & bridges of Castlefield, to the energy, and cool vibes of the Northern Quarter [Recently named in TimeOut Magazine as one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world ] with its historic warehouses & fire escapes -the presenter will tell you why Manchester is a city of warehouses on the tour- and explore its graffiti & cutting edge street art laden alleyways that will look like they are straight out of a comic. Displaying its unique character & quirky charm with every turn. With so many productions filmed along its streets it will feel like you are, as one guest said, ' like stepping into a movie'.
The Locationist will point out all the places to eat & drink, and places of interest & independent boutiques to visit, some of which have been used in productions themselves; along the way on this 3 hour walking tour.
The Locationist -MCR is a 'fascinating & entertaining insight into Manchester's rich film & TV history'.
This 3 hour tour is a must for any film fan or anyone looking to get into the industry.
Also take part in a fun, and interactive quiz to test your television and pop culture knowledge on route to locations.
Reviews so far:
What a truly individualistic and informative tour this was! Tour guide, Lee, was so warm and welcoming…you felt instantly comfortable and at ease in his presence. He was amusing and quirky and had a memory that was awe-inspiring! I promise you, this is a tour you don’t want to miss or you would find yourself really missing out! Brilliant..thanks Lee…learned so much from you!'
'Amazing tour with our tour presenter -Lee this afternoon exploring Manchester's many filming locations. 'It's a Sin's Pink Palace' location was a personal fave, but there is something for everyone. Lee's anecdotes from his media and acting roles were highly entertaining. Highly Recommended'
'We all had a really fascinating and enjoyable afternoon and appreciated Lee's knowledge and company'
'It was an awesome tour - I find some walking tours not that entertaining, but this was spot on. I'm a huge Marvel/superhero fan so I was in my element with The Captain America/Morbius sections of the tour. The Peaky Blinders areas were class too. Lee is a great guide, really brought everything to life. I'm going to rewatch things I visited with The Locationist - for sure. Thanks for an amazing afternoon.' Ben - Bolton
