Be Diddy's Guide to Manchester, With Kids...


If I had a pound for every-time someone asked me my Manchester recco's with kids, I'd be a millionaire! But alas, I don't so here it is for free. It's a mixture of kid friendly things that the adults will enjoy too. Featuring eats, creative spots, and plenty of outdoor fun!
