September is one of Manchester's finest months. The city's diary opens up, the terraces empty out, and Depot Mayfield, Co-op Live and Albert Hall move into one of their busiest seasons of the year. This is Trading News, Stock Exchange Hotel's monthly round-up of where to eat, where to stay and what is worth building an evening around in Manchester.
That feeling of a diary opening back up, equal parts relief and quiet permission to do something for yourself, deserves to be acted on. We think there is no better way to spend it than with a night, a meal or a long overdue treat at Stock Exchange Hotel.
tender is still serving the best of the British summer this September; refined, light and at its most considered before the menus turn with the leaves. There is still time to make the most of it.
Whether it is dinner beneath the dome, a long lunch, afternoon tea or a leisurely weekend breakfast, tender is always worth the trip.
The post-summer lull is real, but it does not have to be. An overnight stay in the heart of Manchester, a late checkout, dinner at tender and the kind of morning that reminds you what slow actually feels like — this is what our dine and stay packages were made for.
September is the perfect excuse to choose from:
