As a kid growing up in Manchester, Afflecks was the only place you could buy unique clothes and was a big influence on the baggy jeans etc fashion! It's still fascinating walking around though and you will always see something that will turn your head! more

What a fun place to visit - not easy to find, but well worth it! Several floors of clothes, art, jewellery, posters - from the swinging 60's to present day. A great way to spend an afternoon - and a welcome break from the bustle of Manchester! more

I recently visited Andrew Lu's shop today for the first time and thought his clothing range was beautiful. His designs are different in a way that are desirable. Each piece individual and most of all good value for money. His clothes fitted like a glove and will be arranging many visits to Afflecks Palace in the future to purchase more... more

Affleck's Palace is the place to be when you're in Manchester. I came to visit the area at the weekend and I spent nearly one whole day there to do shop till you drop. I just loved it. I had a look at nearly every shop and fortunately I didn't see the terantula. Most places are affordable and some even... more

Being the ( sometimes ) proud father of two teenage kids...boy of 13 and girl of 14...who are both into all things Gothic/ Indie / Punk...it was torture trying to resolve their clothing / fashion sense ( I use the word "sense" advisedly ! ) and finding suitable shops that met with their approval. At least it was until a... more

there is no doubt about it, afflecks is an escape from reality. as soon as you open the door you get blasted with GURD music from the duke box. not a chav in sight (however, if any are spotted theyre sure to recieve a hell of alot of dirty looks) and its basically just 4 floors of decent stuff! alternative.... more

I love Afflecks Palace - you can get things there which you wouldn't find anywhere else. On the 3rd Floor there is a fashion designer called Andrew Lu - his clothes are amazing and the jewellery is so different. The are so inventive and look quirky yet stylish - my all time favourite. I have bought several things, each one... more

I've lived in Manchester my entire life. Thats 15 years, to the rest of you. Affleck's Palace is like nowhere else in the world, the people are friendly and non judgemetal. If you visit the " Palace" you'll know what i mean, it's such a diverse place. It's where moshers, skaters, goths, punks pretty much every kind of individual who... more
