Manchester hides its fiercest secrets in plain sight—behind grand Gothic spires, beneath carved stone arches, and along streets where revolt once thundered. Beneath its familiar face, the city shimmers with forgotten ambition and unstoppable energy.

Set out on a self-guided audio adventure that unravels Manchester’s hidden layers. Walk at your own pace as overlooked legends, silent dramas, and wild scandals spring to life before your eyes.

What led a crowd to gather here for a protest that would shake Britain forever? Whose architectural mischief lies buried within Manchester Town Hall’s dazzling walls? Why did Simon & Garfunkel sing about cornflakes right inside the Free Trade Hall?

With every step you’ll chase political revolutions, uncover lost causes, and brush against mysteries only locals whisper. Roam vivid squares and secret corners as familiar landmarks reveal their boldest stories.

Begin the walk—see Manchester’s soul revealed where others just see stone.
