More about Knott Hill

Greater Manchester, England

Knott Hill sits quietly in Greater Manchester and does not need to shout to get attention from its neighbours. Castlefield Gallery has been showing art for years without ever needing a megaphone to announce itself. It is quite a treat when a local exhibition turns up on the doorstep. There are plenty of other things going on around the corner if you fancy a walk or a chat with someone new. Near Here keeps track of what's happening so you can plan your evening without hunting through a dozen websites. We make sure the good stuff is always easy to find.
