Sackville Gardens

Nestled between Whitworth Street, Canal Street, and the Rochdale Canal, Sackville Gardens offers a peaceful retreat amid the vibrant city. Visitors gather around lawns, paths, and the poignant Alan Turing Memorial bench—holding an apple—sparking conversations and moments of shared reflection. The Site is also home to the Beacon of Hope HIV/AIDS memorial and hosts community events like Manchester Pride vigils. Loved by locals, students, tourists, and walking tour groups, it’s a central space for mindful connection and cultural engagement.
