Hi, folks,

My son & I plan to visit the Manchester area for a week or two at the beginning of this August. Can you suggest things that we ought to do or see while we are there? I know that Whitby Folk Festival is the 3rd week, but we will be leaving before then. My son has never been to England. I've been, a couple of times, but not for ages. Any suggestions will be welcome.

best,

bbc
