Our city is a real hot bed of activity and there is always something fun to do, so read on and find out more!

Why not visit Salford Museum and Art Gallery and experience a real life inspired Victorian street bursting with original relics from the past? How about taking in some cutting edge theatre or knitting at the Kings Arms pub? Learn all about Salford's history by taking a leisurely boat cruise along with Bridgewater Canal or exploring all the different areas via one of our many heritage walks and trails.

For more inspiration, take a trip down to the Quays to experience inspiring art and architecture, top sport action or theatre shows. Designed by leading architect Daniel Liebskind, The Imperial War Museum North offers a unique way to explore the impact of modern conflicts on society. The experience is brought to life by a 360 audio visual experience that engages with all senses which is totally involving and often moving.
