The final phase of striking industrial-style apartments in the popular Castlefield neighbourhood of Potato Wharf are now available.
Set in the heart of Manchester city centre, all of the apartments at the Potato Wharf development have been built with sustainability in mind, and combine the best of contemporary living with industrial-style architecture that’s said to be inspired by the surrounding brickwork of Castlefield.
The mixture of one and two-bedroom homes forming part of the new phase not only benefit from being enviably-close to a wide range of amenities that are right on the doorstep in the bustling city centre, but they also boast canalside views over the adjacent network of waterways.

The apartments even look out over the iconic Castlefield Viaduct too.
In case you’re unfamiliar with the site, Potato Wharf is located just a stone’s throw from the Grade II-listed heritage structure, which the National Trust has recently revealed will be turned into a new urban park space that’s reminiscent of the New York High Line.

This means that all new residents can look forward to a summer spent among this much-anticipated new green space that’s set to provide a wealth of health and wellbeing benefits thanks to its easy access to nature.

Not only that, but every home in the new Potato Wharf phase also has access to cycle spaces, and provision for electric vehicle charging points too – with the majority of the apartments also enjoying either a balcony or terrace.
The immaculate interiors have been largely inspired by the area’s character.
With the industrial Castlefield area having fast become one of the most desirable places to spend time in Manchester, thanks to it being home to some of the city’s best waterside bars, restaurants, outdoor venues, cultural destinations, cobbled streets, Potato Wharf is in the heart of all the action.

It’s less than a 10-minute walk from favourites such as Dukes 92, The Wharf, and Barry’s Bootcamp too.
Deansgate train station and Metrolink stop are also on the doorstep to provide convenient transport links across Greater Manchester and the North West.

A huge festival dedicated to tequila and mezcal is coming to Manchester this month
Daisy Jackson
Manchester’s first-ever Mezcal and Tequila Festival is taking place this month, filling Manchester Cathedral with tastings, masterclasses, cocktails and street food.
The massive event will see the Grade I-listed building transformed into an agave spirits tasting floor, featuring more than 100 varieties of premium tequilas and mezcals from some of Mexico’s best producers including El Jimador, Ojo de Tigre, El Sueno, Los Arcos, Del Maguey, Cazcabel, Komos, Nixta, Tapatio, El Tequileno, Tiempo and many more.
Festival-goers will be able to gain exclusive insights into the craftsmanship behind these spirits, sampling (responsibly, of course) from dozens of stands.
All samples, plus a limited-edition clay tasting copita, will be included in the ticket price – there’s no token system here and no extra charges for samples.
The new Mexican-inspired drinks festival only debuted in Glasgow back in Spring 2023 but it unsurprisingly went down an absolute storm – after all, what’s not to like a big festival full of booze?
Bartenders will stir up cocktails at the bespoke cocktail bar while the crowds are kept fed by delicious street food, including Mexican-inspired Taco Or Don’t, previously featured at the British Streetfood Awards.
And it’d be remiss of you to leave the festival empty-handed when you can take a taste of Mexico home from the exclusive bottle shop provided by Drinkmonger on site (with discount tokens included in the ticket price).

Colin Campbell, one of Copita’s co-founders said: “We’re really excited to be bringing Copita to Manchester. It’s gone down brilliantly in Glasgow the last two years so we felt now was the right time to take it on the road and we couldn’t think of a better place than Manchester to head to next!
“It’s a really easy-going event with a great atmosphere, lots of local street food, shopping and music, so whether you’re an aficionado or a casual sipper we’re confident you’ll have a great time.”
The Copita Mezcal and Tequila Festival will be at Manchester Cathedral on Saturday 14 September.
