Time Travellers Tea Room: Exploring Manchester’s Living Histories

Join Manchester Histories for Time Travellers Tea Room, a monthly gathering where we explore the personal stories, memories and everyday objects that shape Manchester’s rich and diverse heritage.

These relaxed sessions are open to anyone with an interest in the past, whether you're a lifelong Mancunian, new to the city, or simply curious about local history. Each session offers an opportunity to:

  • Share personal or family stories
  • Bring in objects and explore their histories
  • Learn how to use local archives
  • Connect with others and discover shared experiences
  • Contribute your ideas to future Manchester Histories projects

Come and meet new people, uncover old stories and celebrate the living histories of our city, all over tea, coffee and biscuits.

The sessions are free to attend and open to all. Capacity is limited to 15 participants, so booking is encouraged. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
