The Northern Quarter, Spinningfields and Gay Village are also well-established destinations for both daytime and nighttime entertainment. Come the evening, Mancunians are truly spoilt for choice. Live music is a key part of the city’s identity and is easy to come by, while theatre and art are taken care of at the magnificent Lowry Centre, Royal Exchange, Opera House and Palace Theatre. Restaurant culture is big in this city, which has the fastest growth of new restaurants in the country. The North West’s coastline, which extends from the Welsh to the Scottish Borders, is long and truly varied, with vast expanses of rural coast, nature reserves, busy seaside towns and resorts, long sandy beaches and sleepy villages.
