It feels like we’ve waited a lifetime for it but warm, sunny weather is finally upon is in Manchester. The mercury is expected to hit highs of around 22C over the weekend with plenty of sunshine on the forecast, although thunderstorms are potentially on the cards at the end of the weekend.
So, make hay while the sun shines, as they say, and enjoy the good weather while we have it. And what better way to do that than by spending an hour or two (or more, we won’t judge) in one of the city’s beer gardens.
Whether its down by the canal in Castlefield or nestled among the office buildings of Spinningfields, beers gardens are scattered across the city. Some are small, others are huge, and a respectable number even take the form of rooftop terraces.
