Due to the number of beauty hubs, Manchester has also been crowned the UK’s second most glamorous city in a wider study carried out by Catrice. Second only to the capital city, London.
It’s no surprise that Manchester has achieved this title as there is such an array of wellness activities, including retreats, spas, sports centres and health-focused cafe’s that certainly fix our spot as number one.
You are truly spoilt for choice with unique activities like Paw Yoga, mental health focused cafe Feel Good Hub and The Green Lab to name a few.
