Freshwalks City: 25_Music and Manchester
Event Information
Description
Welcome to Freshwalks City, a collaboration with Tour Manchester, bringing together business people in and around Manchester city centre. For our 25th walk we plan to meet outside Manchester Town Hall after work and take a route (approx 1 hour) through the centre of Manchester. We'll learn about some of Manchester's musical history, from Northern Soul to the Hacienda. We plan to end the walk at Dukes '92 with a few drinks and you can grab some food as well if you like.
Our mission is to get Manchester's business community walking much more. To encourage behavioural change that will undoubtedly improve the health and wellbeing of our working population and positively affect business productivity.
You are also going to meet some amazing people, make valuable business contacts and return to the office buzzing with energy and ideas.
Unlike our all-day forays into the Dark Peak wilderness, you simply need to bring yourself. We plan to move at a leisurely pace but a comfortable pair of shoes or trainers might work better than heels or formal shoes. Full details will be sent via email at least 24 hours prior to the walk.
Tour Manchester is led by Sue McCarthy, an official Green Badge Guide registered with the Institute of Tour Guiding. There'll be one or two nuggets of local insight sprinkled across our walks but first and foremost, it's about simple exercise on carefully selected routes that will stimulate interaction and conversation.
Hope you can join us. Michael.
