On this guided history walk, network with business professionals and discover more of the city's history via some less-obvious buildings
About this Event

Theme of this netwalk

Manchester has some recognisable landmarks – the Town Hall, Central Library, Beetham tower. This walk covers none of those.

Instead we’ll look at a mix of (often listed) buildings in the city centre, mostly from the 20th Century. Some have distinct features, some have architectural merit, some reveal the history of the city, and some perhaps none of the above. We’ll take a route to see the city from different angles and discover more of its history.

Who are these netwalks for?

Business professionals who are interested in Manchester history, and like informal networking. Suitable whether you know the city very well or not at all.

Guests often work in law, accountancy, banking, property, marketing etc in the city and beyond.

Where and when?

Meet outside the Peveril of the Peak pub.

The walk starts at 12.30pm and ends at 1.30pm but I’ll be there from 12.15pm for anyone who wants to fit in some networking before we start.

Practical details

Netwalks go ahead in all weathers and we will be outside throughout (we aren't going in any buildings), so please dress for the weather and a walk around town.

Please let me know if you do not wish your name and company name to appear on a list of attendees.

The event does not include lunch.
