About this Event

Discover two contrasting aspects of Salford’s story on this walking tour through Salford Quays to the historic Ordsall Hall.

Begin at the Quays, where striking waterfront architecture, world‑class arts venues, Lowry’s exhibitions and vibrant public spaces showcase the city’s bold modern identity.

From the shimmering Lowry arts centre to the iconic Imperial War Museum North, this dynamic district blends culture, creativity, and stunning views at every turn.

We will explore the origins of the Quays, the Manchester Ship Canal and a link to Buffalo Bill's wild west show.

Then step back in time as you wander through Ordsall Park to end the tour at Ordsall Hall, a beautifully preserved Tudor manor with over 750 years of history.

Following an introduction to the history and architecture of Ordsall Hall, wander at your leisure around the Hall.

Explore timber‑framed rooms, peaceful gardens, and captivating tales of the families who lived within its walls.

Together, these two destinations offer a rich contrast—contemporary energy paired with centuries‑old heritage—making for a tour that’s as enlightening as it is memorable.
