About me

About me
Hi! I'm Lauren, born and raised in Manchester.

I finished my degree in Film and Television at Kingston University in 2017 and am taking a bit of a break from real life for a bit.

I like hamsters, films, writing, my buds and the colour yellow.

Why Manchester
I love Manchester so dearly, I know I'm lucky for growing up here and for getting to see it grow and change around me.

I love the sheer diversity of Manchester, both in its people and its places.

Where else can you find me online?

My spots (19)

Heaton Park

Grade II listed park

"Heaton Park" in Manchester is a historical park that's much bigger than it seems at first. My favorite part is the animal centre, but there's tons to do!

Vinyl Fiction

A rock n roll nerd's paradise

"Vinyl Fiction" in Manchester has a simple concept: they sell vinyl and books. I love how it's not stuffed to the gills and doesn't feel claustrophobic...

Longford Park

A bit of everything

"Longford Park" in Manchester simply has everything! Playparks, a cafe, sports courts... One of my favourite details is the stone mounting block.

Highfield Country Park

A wonderful picnic getaway

"Highfield Country Park" in Manchester is a nature reserve I've been going to for as long as I can remember. It makes me feel like I'm outside the city.

Room escape with a twist

"Lucardo" Manchester was my first room escape experience and I loved it! It was the most fun afternoon I'd had in a long time. Great staff & room variety!
