From Britain's Greatest Living Sculptor to a Potter From Britain’s greatest living sculptor to a potter with a political agenda, from the best coffee in Manchester to Latin American arthouse flicks, and from Soviet mementoes to a hidden after-hours drinking den: this is your indispensable guide to a springtime creative weekend in Manchester.

Manchester’s new business Left Bank, Spinningfields M3 3ER district, Spinningfields has more to it than glass-and-steel office blocks. 0161 838 9190 / phm.org.uk For starters, it has a waterfront. Manchester has three well-hidden rivers, with Spinningfields the only place in the city centre where the river, in this John Rylands Library case the Irwell, is celebrated (or even acknowledged). The Mark Addy pub, Deansgate M3 3EH whose chef Robert Owen Brown turns out the sort of traditional British 0161 306 0555 / library.manchester.ac.uk grub that Observer critic Jay Rayner described as ‘an old-fashioned House of Fraser treat’, is a former landing station that’s as good for real ale as it is hearty Deansgate M3 2QG food. Opposite, you’ll find the ‘sunniest riverside bar in Manchester’ at the 0844 800 3744 / houseoffraser.co.uk People’s History Museum, (a claim made by its Deputy Director so feel free to take it with a pinch of salt). The recently refurbished museum, San Carlo Cicchetti scrubbed up to the tune of £12.5 million, is well worth a visit, if simply to King Street West M3 2WY sample the staggering array of cakes in its café. The only national museum 0161 834 6226 / sancarlocicchetti.co.uk in Manchester (until the National Football Museum opens later this year), it tells the tale of British democracy, and at a time when furious political debate is being conducted at every pub, radio station phone-in and kitchen table, it’s a story that has never felt more relevant. Spinningfields is also home to the high-end shopping street The Avenue, where you’ll find the budget busting likes of Armani, DKNY and Mulberry and, at its Deansgate edge, the John Rylands Library. This fabulous neo-Gothic confection, a red sandstone building studded with intricate wrought-iron and stained glass, was built in 1900 in memory of cotton magnate John Rylands. With four million texts spanning five millennia, it’s still a working library but welcomes visitors – and surely just standing in the middle of its wood-panelled reading room and breathing deeply will lend your visit to Manchester a cerebral air. Nearby, just off Deansgate, you’ll find our favourite department store, Kendal’s. Although its official name is the rather more prosaic House of Fraser, the store, 175 years old in 2011, is better known to locals by its original name – look above the entrances and you’ll see ‘Kendal, Milne and Co’ inscribed into the stonework, the names of the original owners. A new Italian tapas-style bar on the ground floor, San Carlo Cicchetti, is particularly recommended.

    News release Embargoed until 5pm on Wednesday 11 October 2017 Alistair Hudson appointed as new Director for Manchester Art Gallery and The University of Manchester’s Whitworth The University of Manchester and Manchester City Council have today announced that Alistair Hudson, currently Director of the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (mima), will be the new Director of Manchester Art Gallery and the Whitworth. Alistair will take up his role in the New Year. He succeeds Maria Balshaw at the Whitworth and Manchester Art Gallery following her appointment as Director of Tate earlier this year. He brings with him a wealth of experience at the forefront of the culture sector and a strong record of championing art as a tool for social change and education. During the last three years as Director at mima, he set out the institution’s vision as a ‘Useful Museum’, successfully engaging its local communities and responding to the town’s industrial heritage, as well as placing it amongst the most prestigious galleries in the UK. Alistair began his career at the Anthony d’Offay Gallery, London (1994-2000), before joining The Government Art Collection (2000-04) where, as Projects Curator, he devised a public art strategy for the new Home Office building with Liam Gillick. As Deputy Director of Grizedale Arts (2004-14) in the Lake District, he helped the institution gain critical acclaim for its radical approaches to working with artists and communities, based on the idea that art should be useful and not just an object of contemplation. Outside of these roles he is also Chair of Culture Forum North, an open network of partnerships between Higher Education and the cultural sector across the North and co-director of the Asociación de Arte Útil with Tania Bruguera.
