The Victoria Baths complex was designed by Manchester's first city architect, Henry Price, and opened in 1906. No expense was spared — the façade has multicoloured brickwork and terracotta decoration, the interior spaces are clad in glazed tiles and most of the windows have decorative stained glass. At the opening ceremony, the Lord Mayor described Victoria Baths as “a water palace of which every citizen of Manchester is proud”. For 86 years, the baths provided both essential and leisure facilities. Private baths and a laundry were housed there alongside three swimming pools and Turkish Baths. In 1952, the first public Aeratone (Jacuzzi) was installed. Even though the baths were closed in 1993, the Grade II listed building is remarkably intact, with most of the stained glass and original tiling remaining. Victoria Baths opens from March/April to October/November each year for weekly guided tours, public open days, and special events.

The Celtic Football Club was founded in Glasgow in the late 1880s by two Irish priests in a bid to raise money in the city's poor East End. The club has since become one of the most successful in Scotland and is the winner of over 50 Scottish League Championships and dozens of other cups, including one European Cup. Celtic Park is the perfect place to get a taste of the spirit surrounding the club, and other events too are hosted here at times.
