Skyliner are walking tours looking at the alternative side of Manchester. The tours are informal but informative, with a focus on critical thinking, especially concerning public art and public realm, and the equity and ethics of cities.
Our aim is to promote honest tourism. The tour we most regularly run is The Modern History of the Northern Quarter where we use public art as the theme to tell the story of changes to the area, from success to dereliction and back again, since the 1970s.
It delves into gentrification, private vs public space, community groups, homelessness, drug use, and preservation and loss of heritage assets.
Other routes run less frequently but are available for private booking anytime.
