Greater Manchester is proud to be LGBTQI+ friendly. From The University of Salford’s support of their LGBTQI+ students to Manchester’s hugely popular Gay Village and its renowned annual Pride Parade Weekend.
There are some fantastic cultural destinations to visit in Greater Manchester, including the Manchester Museum, the People’s History Museum, the Museum of Science & Industry, and the Imperial War Museum North. The Salford Museum & Art Gallery and the Working-Class Movement Library can also be found on the University of Salford campus.
Salford is situated in the heart of Greater Manchester, just three km from its city centre.
The Village is operated in partnership with the University and is situated directly on the main campus, surrounded by the scenic Peel Park with its open green spaces. For those studying at the Frederick Road campus, you can get there by foot in just 15 minutes.

Also, on your doorstep are many campus facilities, including the Clifford Whitworth library, University Support Services, Sports Centre, student store and the lively Students’ Union bar, Atmosphere.
Thanks to our free events programme, which runs throughout the academic year, you’ll make friends in no time. Hang out with your flatmates in your shared kitchen and lounge area and meet new neighbours in one of the Village’s many social spaces.
There are plenty of regular and direct buses to Manchester city centre, or you can walk it in 30 minutes. In addition, University of Salford students studying at MediaCityUK can take advantage of free travel on the dedicated bus service, which runs past the Village and onto Salford Quays.
Peel Park Quarter is the number one choice for first-year students studying at the University of Salford.
It’s about living somewhere to have new experiences and, importantly, a place to create memories that will stay with you for years.
