Join a fun pub tour in Manchester and learn about the city's drinking history. Visit classic pubs and other drinking dens in the city centre and learn about the origin of ‘cheers’, the reason behind pub names, the curious sports and games associated with pubs both past and present, the music pubs have hosted, and some of the strange clubs that have occupied them.

Meet your guide and set off on a tour that is a laughing, learning, and slurping exercise in getting to know Manchester (and the UK for that matter) through one of its most cherished institutions.

At the conclusion, take part in a daft, very short, pub quiz based on the guide’s commentary with ‘great’ prizes.

Meet: Outside Central Library, St Peter’s Square, Manchester, M2 5PD. Finish: depends on the pub route but not more than a kilometre from the start.
