Rock 'n Goal Manchester Walking Tour – 28 August 2026

The Rock 'n Goal Manchester Walking Tour is a brilliant blend of two things this city does best: music heritage and football passion. This guided walking experience takes you through Manchester's most iconic locations that shaped both the legendary rock scene and the city's footballing legacy, making it perfect for fans of either – or both – at just £15 per person. It's a cracking way to discover the stories behind the bands and players who put Manchester on the map.

The Chinese Arch in Manchester's city centre is the perfect starting point for this tour, sitting right in the heart of where culture and history intersect. This distinctive landmark has become a symbol of the city's vibrant international character and sits within walking distance of venues, stadiums, and monuments that tell Manchester's incredible story. You'll be in the most walkable part of the city, surrounded by independent shops, cafes, and the energy that makes Manchester special.

Meet at the Chinese Arch at 12:30pm on Friday 28 August – wear comfortable shoes as you'll be covering decent ground discovering the city's hidden gems and famous hotspots. Expect around two hours of walking with plenty of fascinating anecdotes from your knowledgeable guide about legendary bands and football moments. Bring a camera and prepare for some brilliant photo opportunities at some of Manchester's most recognisable spots.
