Quingo Scooters Accessible Attractions: The Whitworth Manchester

Quingo Scooters once again takes you to one of the UK’s incredible attractions as part of our Accessible Attractions series. Travelling to the North West of England; we’re exploring one of the most impressive art galleries.

The Whitworth is a £15 million development that transformed the existing gallery by adding a fully integrated surrounding park. Since first opening in 1889, The Whitworth has been a gallery in a park – a space to learn and try new things.

Accessible getaways abroad: Accessible Chicago, USA

If you’re looking for a great American city break, then Chicago well and truly has it all. It’s got a rich and fascinating history (think Al Capone and the Prohibition era), plus world-class museums and galleries.

Foodies love it too – it’s famous for its many farmers markets and the quality of its restaurants (23 of them have Michelin stars!). But there are also a few surprises too: who knew that it also has 15 beaches where you can swim?

That last one is strictly for the summer however – in the winter Chicago gets bitterly cold, and we’d recommend visiting in the warmer months from May to late September.
