Good art gallery and theatre/exhibitions.

Also next to a couple of bars/restaurants and (yawn) a modern shopping outlet...

Oh, and (even bigger yawn) Old Trafford is just across the water!!

About 15 mins by tram from Manc. city centre.

In Manc city centre , Urbis http://www.urbis.org.uk/ is quite interesting. Plus you can grab a fantastic lunch in Wagamama opposite!
