Things to do in Greater Manchester part 1 Heaton Park is one of the largest municipal parks in Europe and remains a treasured green space for locals and visitors alike.  Author - Josh D Spanning over 600 acres, Heaton Park offers a striking contrast to the surrounding urban sprawl, providing a welcome retreat for walkers, cyclists, families and anyone in search of open skies and fresh air. At its heart is Heaton Hall, a Grade I listed neoclassical mansion designed by James Wyatt and dating back to the late 18th century. While the hall itself is only open to the public on selected days, it remains an imposing feature of the landscape and serves as a poignant reminder of the city’s historical layers. From the hill near the hall, visitors can enjoy panoramic views that stretch across Manchester and, on a clear day, even as far as the Pennines. Heaton Park has long been a fixture of Mancunian life. Beyond its natural beauty, it hosts a wide range of activities. There is a boating l...

A closer look at Kula Shaker A band that might not necessarily have been as well known to the crowd. 90s Britpop fans will have been well aware, but for younger members of the crowd, Kula Shaker wasn't as well-known as some of their contemporaries. Within minutes though, everyone was certainly enjoying themselves. There is a distinction between being billed as a support act and being labelled a special guest. Kula Shaker, known for their established reputation and unique style, made it clear they were the latter. The night was off to a good start. Now for Ocean Colour Scene The bond between the band and their fans was palpable throughout the set, with a great mix of ages and backgrounds in the crowd. This didn’t go unn...
