Get in the Christmas spirit with a trip on the Manchester Wheel
In Festive
Archived: This event was in 2007.
Whether you have lived in Manchester for years or are visiting for the first time, there is no better way to see all the sights the city skyline has to offer than to take a trip on the Manchester Wheel.
As your trip begins you can see the stunning buildings in the Exchange Square, from the ancient Manchester Cathedral to the iconic Urbis building. As you gently rise up into the air more and more of the city unfolds below you until you can see the city centre receeding into the spawling suburbs and the gentle swell of the Pennines beyond.
The Wheel of Manchester reaches a height of 60 meters and offers 360 degree views from each of its 42 capsules. It is held in place by nearly 9,000 gallons of water and is fully self-supporting making it absolutely safe, while the soundless operation and air-conditioned capsules mean you can enjoy your ride with style.
