Beswick is an area of east Manchester, in the county of Greater Manchester, England. Historically in Lancashire, it neighbours the district of Openshaw to the east. The River Medlock and the Ashton Canal both run through it.

Beswick boasts world-class sporting facilities which include the Etihad Stadium.^[1]

Beswick is also situated close to the National Squash Centre, the Manchester Regional Athletics Arena and the National Cycling Centre. A real hive of sporting activity – you’ll find sessions for all ages and abilities – at each of these centres.

The area is also home to East Manchester Academy, a mixed secondary school, which opened in 2010^[2] and was built as part of the regeneration project. This wonderful, modern glass-fronted building also offers the well-equipped and welcoming Beswick Library.^[3]
