Burnage has got everything you need, close at hand. There are three primary schools in the area; Green End Primary School, St Bernard’s RC Primary School and Acacias Primary, which are all popular with local families. There’s also one secondary school; Burnage Academy for Boys. This former grammar school converted into an academy in 2014. However, girls are also represented, with plenty of alternative schools in the surrounding area.
There are two train stations (Burnage and Mauldeth Road) which connect travellers not only to Manchester, but also to Crewe, Manchester Airport and Salford Quays. Additionally, you’ll find plenty of local shops (including several convenience stores) and a variety of independent businesses, selling everything from furniture and gifts to food and drink. And, if you’re looking to keep fit, Arcadia Leisure Centre is just a few minutes’ drive away, with a swimming pool and gym facilities.
Things to Do in Burnage
There’s so much to do in and around Burnage, not to mention further afield in Manchester. In neighbouring Didsbury, you’ll find the Fletcher Moss Park and Botanical Gardens, which is a great place for an afternoon stroll or a run after work. Didsbury Comedy Club is another popular local haunt, with great comedic acts on throughout the year.
If you’re looking for entertainment, then the cinema at Didsbury is just a short distance away, or Parrs Wood Entertainment Centre, with its wide array of restaurants, plus a cinema and bowling alley. For a memorable night out with friends, catch the train into the heart of Manchester and make the most of its renowned nightlife, with clubs, live music venues, bars and more to keep you amused.
Alternatively, head to Manchester during the day with the kids to visit some of the attractions, such as the fascinating Manchester Museum, Manchester Gallery or the Science and Industry Museum.
