    I visited Manchester Victorian Bath during National Heritage Open Day and was amazed how stunning place is it. This is Grade II listed building, with beautiful history. Beautiful architecture with stained glass windows, amazing construction, stairs, unique ceramic wall tiles and swimmings pools- for ladies and men, changing cabinets. You can truly feel this climate of of this Edwardian place. I highly recommend to visit this place and you won't be disappointed.

    It's a working progress! They did a comedy night in one of the empty pools, so got to have a look around before the show started. Here some pics if anyone is interested. It'll be interesting to see how it changes.

    What a spectacular spot! We stopped here right after landing from Canada. We were received with open arms! Our tour leader was Mandy. Mandy was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the history of Victoria Baths. I hope they find enough money to restore the baths to their former glory - it’s really an amazing spot! Would have loved to have seen an event there…maybe next time! Thank you Mandy for your local tips as well and thank you for the tour!!! Your Canadian friends

    I was lucky enough to visit Victoria baths when they were hosting the indy man beer festival. The venue is fantastic and a great example of Victorian architecture, well worth a visit

    Lovely historical place inside Manchester, with many events taking place here. We enjoyed the vintage decor thrifts, and bought a few beautiful pieces.

    Attended the'Gin to my tonic' event there. My husband remembered the building from when he attended swimming competitions there when he was young. A lovely building with pretty windows. It's cute that the changing room stalls are still there too. Good sized venue.

    Had a great day taking part in the Victoria Baths 'big clean' week - the opportunity to take part in volunteering and getting the baths ready for a year of exciting events. As part of the day we were really lucky to see 'behind the scenes' of this fantastic building and hear more about the work taking place to its former glory. Ella and Abel were great hosts and would recommend for anyone to visit the venue and take part in volunteering opportunities.

    Came here for a silent disco for Halloween. It was amazing. The music, the atmosphere everything about it was just fantastic. Will definitely be returning next year. A brilliant night out for Β£15 plus drinks. Highly recommend this wonderful old building which has a new lease of life. Well done to everyone who takes care of it.

    Beautiful decor and old tiling, looking forward to seeing this lovely old building restored to its full former glory but definitely worth a visit in the meantime!

    Visited well over a decade ago and was surprised to find out they haven’t got the Turkish Baths open yet. Here’s hoping they do it. Cant wait to have a go in the Aerotone if they get that fired up again!

    Visited for a tech festival and although the venue looked much better in the pictures from the reviews, its history and restoration is amazing✨ P.S I was lowkey also scared that the pools would suddenly fill up with waterπŸ˜‚

  • 5/5 michael p. 11 months ago on Google
    Great historic baths. Great guided tour for Β£8 each taking about 11/4 hours. Go and enjoy the outstanding history. Check on opening times. Staff really helpful

  • 5/5 Ayla E. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is a treasure. A glimpse into an earlier time. They have cool stuff in the gifts hop and they're open to the public on Wednesdays so you can kind of just wander around. I suggest looking at the green marble stair case, the first class men's entrance, and the first class men's pool.

  • 5/5 Clare H. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a gem. The stories of people who learned to swim there and enjoyed a great social life were fascinating. This place added a splash of colour to the otherwise colourless life of many locals. I wish I had been there to enjoy it and so hope that at least the Turkish Baths are reopened in the not too distant future. What a place!! I returned for the vintage fair in June 2023 which was really well organised and was full of treasures.

    Brilliant venue. Lots of stalls & 4 food & 4 drink. Pop up cocktail and craft beer bars. DJ and Great music. Β£5 entry. All original features. Parking tricky.

  • 5/5 Sally H. 1 year ago on Google
    Attended a winter crafts fair here and paid extra for a guided tour. Staff very knowledgable of the building/history. Not accessible for anyone with mobility issues.

  • 4/5 Martin E. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely to have a swim in this iconic venue. Wish it was open permanently. We should make some billionaire pay for it to be open for everyone.

  • 4/5 Michael B. 2 years ago on Google
    Decent craft fair but 7 quid is a high entry price.

  • 5/5 Kristy T. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful historic building with regular special events. We visited for the Big Splash 2022 when the gala pool was filled.

  • 5/5 Andrew P. 1 year ago on Google
    A wonderful Victorian building and team that deserve any support you can offer. We went for a swim which was fantastic but they have many other events which I look forward to seeing.
