Manchester is world famous for many things, including its soccer teams, but it also offers plentiful entertainment for those not well acquainted with the offside rule! Whether you’re thinking about braving the family theme park’s fastest rollercoaster, or prefer to take a more laidback approach to life, Manchester and its surrounding cities have something to offer people of all ages.</p> <p><a href="http://www.beethamtower.org/manchester/family-activities-around-manchester.html">Read more...</a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BeethamTower/~4/vRaMe9EHbD0" height="1" width="1"/> David Towers Sat, 05 Sep 2009 16:26:00 +0000 http://www.beethamtower.org/manchester/family-activities-around-manchester.html http://www.beethamtower.org/manchester/family-activities-around-manchester.html http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BeethamTower/~3/72v6_KQFsq8/lightning-hits-beetham-tower.html <p>Those of you who live in Manchester will not have been able to miss the horrendous weather conditions yesterday!</p> <p>Torrential rain, howling wind, thunder and lightning!</p> <p><a href="http://www.beethamtower.org/manchester/lightning-hits-beetham-tower.html">Read more...</a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BeethamTower/~4/72v6_KQFsq8" height="1" width="1"/> David Towers Fri, 31 Jul 2009 15:47:44 +0000 http://www.beethamtower.org/manchester/lightning-hits-beetham-tower.html http://www.beethamtower.org/manchester/lightning-hits-beetham-tower.html http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BeethamTower/~3/i8Rco68U31k/bbc-changing-cityscapes.html <p><img title="Beetham Tower Changing Cityscapes " style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px 5px; display: inline; float: right;" alt="Beetham Tower Changing Cityscapes" src="http://www.beethamtower.org/images/beetham-tower-bbc-changing-city-scapes.jpg" width="244" height="92" />The Beetham Tower has been getting a lot of media attention recently!</p> <p>In February 2009, the Beetham Tower was featured on Channel 4’s <a href="http://www.beethamtower.org/manchester/beetham-tower-on-vertical-city.html">Vertical City series</a>.
