Affleck’s: Manchester’s alternative emporium

What to expect from Affleck’s

Honestly, it would be easier to list the things you won’t find at Affleck’s. There’s a hemporium, a gay pride store, a potion shop, a Star Wars shop, a tarot reader… There’s vintage clothing, cafes, two piercing and tattoo shops, a Thai massage centre, hair and nail bars, and just about anything else you can think of in between.

Don’t go to Affleck’s with expectations about what you might want or need to buy. Just go with an open mind and an afternoon to spare wandering through its corridors. By the time you’re ready to leave you’ll have discovered a new found appreciation for independent art and style and some of the city’s most creative communities.
