The Tour of Uninteresting Objects

10.30am Saturday 7 March 2026
​
​£20

Ah yes, the unregarded things that make a city. 

This tour reveals odd sculptures, mad details, washed up remnants of things inside and outside buildings. It’s different – guaranteed. Each tour will tackle a different area of the city centre and environs and uncover massive quantities of uninteresting objects. In January 2021 we'll be looking at the northern end of the city centre.

This is an informative, entertaining and unusual look at what Manchester has got to offer. 

At the end of the tour for those who want to hang around and chat we'll probably end up in a pub or bar. 

"This tour delivers the unexpected, but never misses the big things as well. Totally wonderful," Steven Dorsey, November.
 

MEET: Outside the Midland Hotel, Peter Street, Manchester, M60 2DS
