Rainy weekend fix, sunny weekend fix, whatever the weather chucks at us, this is where I end up dragging the missus round. Chorlton lad's honest verdicts on the city's best free days out.

NameAddressCityMy take
1Manchester MuseumOxford Road, Manchester M13 9PLManchesterDinosaurs and mummies for nowt, can't grumble. Good shelter when it's chucking it down, which is most weekends.
2Science and Industry MuseumLiverpool Road, Castlefield, Manchester M3 4FPManchesterOld railway sheds full of engines and looms. Reminds you Manchester actually built stuff once, not just United trophies.
3People's History MuseumLeft Bank, Spinningfields, Manchester M3 3ERManchesterBanners, badges and proper working-class history. Makes you proud to be from round here, ey up.
4Whitworth Art GalleryOxford Road, Manchester M15 6ERManchesterSat in the park after, fish and chips from the van. Gallery's smart too, if you like that sort of thing.
5National Football MuseumCathedral Gardens, Manchester M4 3BGManchesterNot United or City themed, thank God. Even a miserable so-and-so like me enjoyed the shirts collection.
6Imperial War Museum NorthTrafford Wharf Road, Trafford Park, Manchester M17 1TZManchesterThat Libeskind building looks like it's fallen out the sky. Heavy stuff inside, worth the tram ride over.
7Pankhurst Centre60-62 Nelson Street, Manchester M13 9WPManchesterWhere the Suffragettes started, in Emmeline's own front room. Small place, big history, and free to boot.
