“The Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art is a contemporary art gallery based in Manchester, England. It is located on Thomas Street in Manchester's Northern Quarter in part of the renovated Smithfield Market Hall. Champion became the Director of the Centre when it moved to new premises on Edge Street in Manchester's Northern Quarter in 1997. This was period of great change in Centre's functions and focus. More opportunities became available due to both the policies of the new Labour government, who placed greater emphasis on the importance of culture, and the increased interest in Chinese culture due to the upcoming Handover of Hong Kong. By moving away from Chinatown, the Centre also became less focused on the local Chinese community; instead focusing more on contemporary art. It was also Champion's aim that the Centre would work towards becoming the UK agency for Chinese arts and culture. The Centre would operate as an agency from 1999 and the charity was renamed the Chinese Arts Centre Ltd in September 2000. UK based artists remained the main focus of the Centre's exhibition programme during this period. Initially the Centre's programme largely featured solo shows of existing works by artists such as Adam Hongshan Wei and Anthony Key, or touring exhibitions, such as Nora Fok's Galaxies. When the venue was refurbished after a fire in 1998, the Centre began to commission new site specific works by UK-based artists of east Asian heritage to use the new space to its best advantage. Between 2000-2003, the New Commissions scheme, produced 8 exhibitions by emerging artists such as Suki Chan, Lisa Cheung, Gayle Chong Kwan, and Jiang Jiehong. As part of its agency work, the Centre extended the scope of its educational workshops to a national audience and acted as a focal point for other businesses and art organisations who wanted to know more about Chinese culture. The Centre began to contribute to debates regarding Chinese arts by arranging conferences such as A New Vocabulary for Chinese Arts?, held in London in 1998, and Contemporary Chinese Art in the International Arena held at the British Museum in 2002. The Centre also began to develop global contacts to introduce international artists to the UK audiences. In 1997 Champion undertook a research trip to China with the aim of introducing the Centre to an international audiences and developing partnerships with organisations in mainland China. As a result the Centre produced Representing the People (1999), its first major touring exhibition to feature works by artist from mainland China. Developed in collaboration with the Courtyard gallery, Beijing, the exhibition was seen by approximately 250,000 people, and has been seen as one of the first independent UK exhibition to present the work of artists from Mainland China. This was followed by a second touring show, Made in China (2001-2002) which showcased contemporary design from China. In June 2001, the Centre was informed that it had been accepted on to the Arts Council of England's lottery programme and £2.1 million was reserved for the Centre to purchase and outfit a new building as well as fund the operations and marketing of the new venue.”

“Visited on Sunday 18th April 2021 - Pay and Paddle / Self Launch With the current C-19 restrictions, we've not been able to get to the lake district for a while, and were looking for somewhere close to home for a relaxed family paddle. We have our own boats and equipment, so were looking for somewhere we could self launch and enjoy some family time. After speaking to one of their really helpful staff, Shannon, by email - we booked a two slots online for the early morning. Arriving about 15 minutes before our time to check in, we were issued with tags for our boats and given details on where we could paddle (there was a water polo game in progress in a small area, and in the afternoon the deeper end of the lake hosts powered craft and some open water swimmers. We were lucky with the weather, warm, sunny with only a slight wind - as otherers have mentioned, some areas of the lake are fairly shallow, however this didn't cause us to ground out either kayak, or struggle paddling. The water was exceptionally clear and there was plenty of wildlife - keeping a respectful distance - the kids enjoyed seeing the gees and swan nests. It was a great fun day out, exceptional value for money and one we plan to recreate as soon as we're able! Thank you to everyone on site!”

“Went for lunch with a friend. Food and service was great. Friendly and helpful staff. Large outdoor area and dog friendly. Love this pub. I've actually been going to the plough since 1976 and it's always been a lovely place. I'd recommend it any day of the week.”

“Zanete was so helpful when planning the buffet for my birthday party. Its a great room, nicely decorated with plenty of seating. We were lucky with the weather and able to sit on the outside decking, again plenty of seating. Great atmosphere and all staff friendly and helpful. The buffet was delicious, everyone commented how tasty it was. Thank Zanete for all your help.”

“Cheap and cheerful,lovely staff.☺️”

“Really enjoyed dinner here, the restaurant is beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. Possibly the best sushi I’ve had in Manchester so far. The sushi rolls are made fresh so this accommodates to people with allergies which is fab. All staff are friendly and our server Armaghan was lovely, professional and knowledgeable of the food and drinks. My only dislike was the mocktail. I assumed it was going to be sweet as I ordered strawberry but it was very bitter with a lemon taste, which at £9 is very expensive for what it was.”

“Really good food, fast delivery and reliable everytime. Helpful that you can pay by card at the door. I have a nut allergy and have had no problems eating here”

“Friendly staff, great coffee, clean and cosy...how can you go wrong”

“This costa coffee is situated off a busy main road. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. There’s also a drive through which is convenient. Visited 10:30 on a Monday and no que for either drive through or in store. Staff relatively friendly. Guy on the till could have been more welcoming but he processed the order quickly so no issues. Coffee and food ordered was nice”

“Excellent service and well maintained. Is busy enough to be lively but not too much as always find space. Staff are very good too.”

“Traditional pub. Only had one quick drink. The pub had a few in it. Nice relaxed atmosphere. It's in Didbury Village near a lot of other bars and pubs. Maybe one to stop off, have a drink and check out, whilst bar hopping. Didn't notice menus, so not sure if they serve food. I will have to go back and check, lol, or Google it, but I'd prefer to go back... to be continued...”

“Great pub and staff work so hard”

“Visiting friends in the area and called in for a breakfast rather than have one at the Premier Inn we were staying at. Excellent value for money and well cooked. Refills on the drinks good as extras can be expensive. Pleasant staff to always a bonus...”
