This tour winds through East and West Didsbury, weaving a route through one of Manchester’s most character-filled neighbourhoods. Expect leafy streets, tucked-away pubs, cobbled alleyways, and a lineup of warm welcomes and brilliant drinks. Every venue is independently owned, every stop has its own story.
Q. How much walking is involved?
A. The full route is around three miles, but the pace is gentle, with plenty of stops to rest, eat and enjoy the atmosphere.
Q. What if I have dietary restrictions?
A. We can accommodate most dietary needs. Let us know in advance and we’ll make sure you’re looked after.
Q. Do I need to bring ID?
A. Yes – valid photo ID is required. No ID means no entry to licensed venues.

A. Absolutely. In fact, it’s encouraged. Come as you are or come as someone else entirely – just wear comfy shoes.
Q. Can I join solo?
A. Solo guests are welcome to enquire, but the tour runs with a minimum group size of four. If you’d like to join another group, just ask.
