I was able to have a quick day in Manchester a few years back, and this time I was back as part of a very quick trip to go see Rebooted Trance Made in Sheffield. Turns out flying to Manchester was of course quicker but also cheaper than taking the train all the way to Sheffield, even with the Eurostar, so that gave me a few hours in Manchester on the day I landed, and just before taking off the next day.
small airbus A310 from Paris to Manchester
Manchester University
The Manchester Museum inside the univeritsy, had a bit of everything but wasn't bad:
Kakapo!
Had a very short time downtown before having to take the train to Sheffield:
some amount of train issues around that time, but thankfully mine ran
On the way back from Sheffield, had a couple of hours before having to head out:
St Mary's RC Church
I had just enough time for the Manchester Art Gallery, which was pretty small and perfectly matched the time I had left:
From there, it was time to go to Xmas at Heaton Park
And then it was just the right time to get back to Manchester Airport for my flight back Paris. It was really nice, definitely liked it:
new security screening that allowed bottled water and could actually see inside my luggage for a change
lounge was open just long enough to enjoy it before my flight back to Paris
