Lying in the north west of England, Manchester is a thriving city of 450,000 inhabitants, which extends to a larger metropolitan area of 2,500,000 people. The Industrial Revolution catapulted Manchester to prominence as a leader in the textile industry. Although much of that energy has dissipated, Manchester has kept its grip as a place to do business. It is a major attraction for visitors with its history, culture and entertainment centers and is often referred to as England’s northern capital. Manchester has also been on the cutting edge of innovative music, giving us the Sex Pistols, Oasis, and Simply Red. Manchester restaurants serve an extensive international gourmet. Food events abound all year round, such as Young Star Chef Evenings and the annual Manchester Food and Drink Festival.
