Platt Hall is an 18th century mansion house set in Platt Fields Park, in the heart of Rusholme, Moss Side and Fallowfield, Manchester. For 70 years it was the Gallery of Costume, and its collections grew to more than 25,000 items of fashion and dress. Today it runs a busy community programme, including creative skillshare sessions, a garden project, and an exhibition you can explore digitally via the Bloomberg Connects app. It's not currently open to general visitors, as the building isn't yet fully accessible, but you can get involved through drop-ins and Open Days. It suits those interested in heritage and community creativity, and sits within easy reach of Mauldeth Road station, with 83 bookable places to stay nearby on BritStays.
