WELCOME TUESDAY AT VICTORIA BATHS

Visit an iconic Manchester Landmark!

We are open every Tuesday from the 21st April to September 29th for all to explore!

Victoria Baths is a Grade II* listed building and is remarkably intact. Visit on a Welcome Tuesday and discover the beautiful stained glass windows, amazing wall tiles, and incredible mosaic flooring behind the imposing exterior.

Welcome Tuesday entry is free, donations are always welcome and help us keep Victoria Baths open for all to enjoy.

Our entertaining and informative Discover Victoria Baths tour is led by an experienced volunteer guide. Doors open at 11 am for free general entry and the guided tour starts at 1pm, lasting approximately 1¼ hours.

Browse and buy souvenirs and gifts in our wonderful Gift Shop and visit our beautiful Tea Room with its stained glass windows and elaborate wrought iron ceiling, serving hot and cold drinks, snacks, and a bookable Cream Tea.

A SEPERATE TICKET IS NEEDED FOR BOARD GAME TAKEOVER. PLEASE PURCHASE FROM VICTORIA BATHS EVENT PAGE.

General Entry

You don't need to book to explore the building or visit the Tea Room and Gift Shop on a Tuesday - it's free to pop in between 11am-3pm (last entry 2.30pm). Wander the spaces at your own pace and take time to visit our History Exhibition and immerse yourself in the history of the Baths.

Please make a donation if you can - we have both cash and contactless donation points in the building.

Discover VB Tour

Discover more with our Guided Tours. Every Tuesday at 1pm our expert tour guides take people further into the heritage of the building and the important part it has played in Manchester's history. Tour tickets are available to book in advance, limited tickets may be available on the door but booking is recommended to avoid disappointment.

Cream Tea

To make your visit extra special, enjoy a delicious Cream Tea in our beautiful Tea Room - a large fruit scone accompanied by butter, strawberry jam, clotted cream, and tea or coffee. Jam first or cream... it's up to you!

Priced at £7.50, you need to book in advance. You will be able to purchase your cream tea with your ticket

Additional Tours on Selected Dates

Behind the Screens Tour

Step into the real filming spots of Peaky Blinders, Life on Mars, Cold Feet and loads more with Victoria Baths' Behind the Screens tour, exploring hidden areas, original props and the exact locations where iconic scenes were shot. It's a cracking behind-the-camera wander for anyone who loves great telly or a bit of Manchester magic.

Available at 11:30am on 28th July, 18th August and 8th, 22nd September

Off Limits Tour

Our Off Limits tour gives you the chance to dive into the hidden, atmospheric corners of Victoria Baths that most visitors never get to see. You'll venture beneath the pool halls into the undercrofts, wander through the outbuildings and step inside the filter rooms, discovering the building's real secrets and stories as you go. It's an intimate, behind-the-scenes experience with just 15 tickets available, and because the route includes stairs, uneven floors and tight spaces, it's not suitable for those with limited mobility.

Available at 11:30 on 1st September and 15th September
