AFFLECKS PALACE - 52 Church St Manchester - (0161) 834 2039 Afflecks Palace is to students what Marks & Spencers is to old people. It's a right of passage, which you all must take, and dare I say I have for the best part of the past 12 years. Spread across 3 floors it offers anything you could possibly want as a student from records to clothes, from jewellery to sci-fi toys and a whole range of goods inbetween. What it basically does is appeal to all aspects of "alternative culture" so whether you're a punk, hippie, skater kid or hip hop head you'll find your favourite shops within your first trip.

I have been to Affleks paalce in Manchester a number of times and its quite an interesting place to visit. It has loads of gothis, 60/70's boutiques and second hand clothes stalls. There are some specialist hairdressers such as an afro carribean hairstylist. There are candle shops, jewellery sales shops, record shops, cafes and so much more. My most intersting visit there yet was a visit that I made with my mum when she got married for the second time. We found her outfit and my bridesmaid outfit, both of which were beautifully tailored and wonderfully made, for £65 all in. Well as its mainly known for gothic and hippy or secondhand clothing ...  Read the complete review

Everytime I go to Manchester shopping (not that often) I always have a browse in Afflecks Palace. It is a very unique shopping place with lots small stalls inside selling mainly clothing and jewellery. Many of the clothes stalls are geared towards the gothic and alternative look. There are some second hand stalls that sell 60's and 70's clothes, and it is great just having a look for the most outrageous outfit. I would definitely look here if I was going to a fancy dress party!! On another floor there is a great music shop. You will almost certainly find any albulm there. Also when visiting the Afflecks Palace, don't forget to ...  Read the complete review
