There’s always something going on: we’re surrounded by committed, creative and passionate people, all helping to make ours the best part of one of the best cities in the world.

At Open Up, we cover local arts, culture and community events; we celebrate our urban villages and champion our community heroes. We also feature grass-roots sport and share the fascinating histories of where we live.

It’s all about life with a local focus: no bland bought-in articles, just original content, tailored to our readers’ tastes. Health and beauty; families; homes and gardens; life outdoors; food and drink, and more.

Everything you need to get the most from life in South Manchester.
