This route combines the melodies of the orchestral symphony with the dynamic sounds of the urban environment of central Manchester.

Starting at Sackville Gardens, this route will take you through the city centre and past St Peter’s Square, for the most part avoiding main thoroughfares in favour of quieter streets.

You'll then travel through the peaceful St John’s Gardens and arrive at the Water Street entrance to Aviva Studios.

This route and the journey time may be challenging for wheelchair users and those with other access requirements. You can see videos of the route here.
