Family Stays
The Victoria & Albert Hotel is the ideal Manchester base for families during the school holidays. We have thought of everything to make your stay as enjoyable for the little ones as it is for you.
Our Family Rooms, featuring two double beds, give everyone the space to relax and recharge after a day exploring the city. Little guests are welcomed with colouring books and crafting activities to keep them entertained, while our kids' cinema means movie time is always an option — whatever the Manchester weather has in store.
At mealtimes, children eat free at The Victoria & Albert Restaurant & Bar, so the whole family can enjoy great food together without the worry.
Beyond the hotel, Manchester offers endless family-friendly adventures — from the Science and Industry Museum and the interactive exhibits at the Manchester Museum, to the parks, markets and events that fill the city's calendar throughout the year.
At the V&A, we love welcoming families. Come and make some memories with us.
The Museum of Science and Industry brings Manchester's revolutionary past to life. Housed in the world's oldest surviving railway station, it tells the story of how this city changed the world — from the spinning jenny to the splitting of the atom. A must-visit for curious minds of all ages.
Home to the world's largest collection of football memorabilia, the National Football Museum celebrates the beautiful game in the city that loves it most. Interactive exhibits, iconic artefacts and the stories behind the sport make this a compelling visit for fans and families alike.
One of the most breathtaking buildings in Britain, the John Rylands Research Library is a neo-Gothic masterpiece in the heart of Manchester. Its vaulted reading rooms and extraordinary collection of rare books and manuscripts make it one of the city's most unmissable experiences — and entry is free.
Manchester Art Gallery is home to one of the finest collections of art in the UK, spanning centuries of painting, sculpture and decorative arts. With free admission and a programme of rotating exhibitions, it is the kind of place you can return to again and again and always find something new.
Perched on the banks of Salford Quays, The Lowry is one of the North's leading arts venues — home to two theatres, a gallery celebrating the work of L.S. Lowry, and a year-round programme of world-class theatre, opera, dance and comedy.
