About Manchester

Manchester is a major city in north-west England, with a strong industrial heritage and a modern economy built on media, technology, finance and universities. It is known worldwide for its football clubs and music scene, and its airport is a key gateway to the north of England.

The UK uses Greenwich Mean Time, UTC+0, in winter and British Summer Time, UTC+1, in summer. That keeps Manchester on the same time as London, Dublin and Lisbon, and one hour behind most of continental Europe. In winter the sun sets around 4pm, while in midsummer it stays light well into the evening.
