Manchester’s story in one entertaining history walk

Raves & Revolutions

From the Romans, through to the industrial revolution, to the music and rave scene. How did Manchester shape itself into being the radical, diverse & ambitious city it is today?

You will see beautiful parts of the city whilst hearing stories about radical movements, iconic Mancunians, protests, revolutions and acid house.
