Did you know that the Northern Quarter in Manchester has doubled up for both London & New York in countless films & television shows over the years? From The Crown, Morbius, It's A Sin, Ridley Road, to the recent BBC comedy-drama, Everything I know about Love & Wedding Season to name just a few. Manchester is truly a dynamic city because of its range of building textures with its many unique structures old & new, with Castlefield recently doubling up for 1930's Birmingham for the last season of Peaky Blinders; it's no wonder Manchester has had its busiest year so far as a filming location destination.

Join The Locationist, the only dedicated filming locations tour in the city, as you discover areas that will take you from the beautiful views, canals & bridges of Castlefield, to the energy, and cool vibes of the Northern Quarter (recently named in TimeOut Magazine as one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world). Displaying its unique character & quirky charm with every turn. With so many productions filmed along its streets it will feel like you are, as one guest said, ' like stepping into a movie'.

The Locationist will point out all the places to eat & drink, and places of interest & independent boutiques to visit, some of which have been used in productions themselves; along the way on this 2.5 hr hour walking tour.

This tour is a must for any film fan or anyone looking to get into the industry.

Also take part in fun, and interactive quizzes to test your television and pop culture knowledge along the way.
