SHOPPING & RETAIL
Selfridges & Co, The Trafford Centre
Manchester, M17 8DA
0800 123400
Selfridges in Manchester’s Trafford Centre was
the first Selfridges department store to open
outside of London. It continues to dazzle, with
the world’s most sought-after luxury brands and
hottest designers. Housed in a giant, Las-Vegas-
like shopping mall, Selfridges is ground zero inside
the north-west’s most famous retail emporium.
When deciding to set up shop here, the big
issue for Selfridges was taming the over-the-top,
postmodern beast that is the Trafford Centre. It
would be fair to say that Selfridges has succeeded
in that endeavour. Whether you’re indulging in a
spot of retail therapy or freshening the warpaint
before a big night out, you’ll be well-served by the
exhaustive range of services and goods on offer.
A huge number of major brands are on offer in this
bright, modern store, and there’s even a wedding
service which can help you plan all aspects of
your big day. Selfridges has got it all.
SALUT WINES

For those who relish good company, good wine
and good food, there’s nothing better than an
evening in Salut Wines. Here, patrons can enjoy
all that in a great space with excellent service.
Salut brings a Mancunian no-nonsense attitude
to wine-drinking. If you want a guiding hand, the
bar’s knowledgeable and friendly team are on
hand to help. Alternatively, if you want to have
fun exploring on your own, there’s no better place
to jump in and go for it. The airy, industrial-chic
bar with mezzanine and pendant lights offers
wines by the glass and tapas. Some wines taste
even better with food, which is why Salut offer a
small range of wine-friendly foods. Their freshly
prepared tapas-style plates are great on their own
or for sharing. Salut are constantly looking for the
unusual – grapes indigenous to a specific country
or regions that are off the beaten track.
