Radical Manchester Walks

My Walking Tour

Manchester didn’t just change Britain. It helped change the world. On this walking tour, we’ll explore the people, places and ideas that made Manchester one of the most influential cities of the modern age.

From the world's first industrial city to the birthplace of the modern labour movement, Manchester has a remarkable history of protest, political change, invention, immigration and cultural revolution.

We’ll explore stories including the Industrial Revolution, Peterloo, Engels and Marx, the campaign for workers’ rights, women’s suffrage, the Irish and other immigrant communities, the Pankhursts, Alan Turing, Manchester’s music revolution and the legacy of the Hacienda.

This isn't just a tour of buildings and dates. It's a walk through the ideas, struggles and people that helped create the modern world.
