Prestwich locals have said they're 'so sick' of their home being branded 'the new Didsbury.' The Bury town has been named as one of the best places to live in the UK.
Six locations in the north west have been recognised as part of the Sunday Times Best Places to Live 2022 round-up. But Prestwich resident and DJ Jane Thomson told The Sunday Times: "I was so sick of hearing people saying that Prestwich is the new Didsbury.
"It's its own place, with its own community and lots of talent of its own, so we decided to do something to show it off." The Times reported that the 'constant comparison' to Didbsury 'inspired locals to launch its own arts festival in 2018' as part of its tribute-band festival aptly-named Festwich.
