Manchester is situated in the Northern part of England with a total population of 2.2 million. During the 19th century the town's urbanisation grew at a rapid rate due to the industrial revolution and Manchester soon became the first industrialized city in the world. In 1853, Manchester was granted city status and soon saw major developments taking place such as the town hall and a sea port making way for a canal. Today the city is famous for its culture, media, music scene, architecture, scientific and engineering output and sports. All of these contribute to the number of events happening in this colourful city.
