We’ll kick off the tour at 11am at Caravan. Hear from founders Laura Harper-Hinton and Miles Kirby on taking a London modern
institution up the M6. 

We'll stroll next door to Fenix, one of the coolest venues in town
delivering a modern Greek/Mediterranean experience. Here we'll meet head of operations Mirek Bulka and finance director Gemma Peel from the Permanently Unique Group.

Next stop is Salon Madre, the tequila bar and pool hall now opened next door to much loved Mexican restaurant Madre - for some proper sampling.

We'll walk over to Nell’s Pizza in Kampus, and meet local entrepreneurs and founders Charlotte & Jonny Heyes. Then take a look around some of Kampus’s other independent bars in what’s been dubbed the city’s ‘greenest neighbourhood and foodie hotspot’.

Day one continues at Blacklock, the trend-setting chophouse concept.
We'll meet operations director Maria McCann and hear how the first year in Manchester has gone.

We’ll move on to Bar Lina, the newly opened Italian Aperitivo Bar
from the owners of Lina Stores. Time for an aperitivo, of course, and to hear from COO Éadaoin McDonagh.

Next stop is North West mainstay Maray, serving up food and drink inspired by the flavours of the Middle East.

Then it's beer tasting at Bundabust's open-plan taproom and brewery in the heart of the city, accompanied by samples of its famous Indian street food - all guided by co-founders Marko Husak and Mayur Patel.

Final stop of Day One for a nightcap or two is, of course,
Alberts Schloss, Mission Mars’ award-winning German-style
beer hall - celebrating its 10th anniversary.
