Join us on this lovely long weekend break taking in two amazing, world-famous cities in the North West of England – vibrant and cosmopolitan Manchester and Liverpool.

Known for their influence on the histories of music and industry, both also boast rejuvenated waterfronts and offer a multitude of shopping and entertainment so there’s plenty to see and do! You'll be staying at the lovely 4* Mercure Haydock which is ideally located as a base from which to visit both of them.
