Yes it’s true there is a Magical Society that calls itself “The Manchester Circle of Magician’s”

As per their own website and records, they meet and have met for many years now at The Micker Brook Public House in Cheadle Hulme…

I asked ChatGPT this question

Is The Micker Brook located on Councillor Lane in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport, (SK8 5NU) legally considered as being in Manchester?

ChatGPT replied

No — legally, it is not in Manchester.

Here’s the precise breakdown:

🏛️ Legal / administrative status

The Micker Brook, Cheadle Hulme (SK8 5NU) is in
→ the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport
That borough is part of
→ Greater Manchester

👉 The City of Manchester is a separate local authority.

⚖️ What “legally in Manchester” means

If something is “in Manchester” in a legal sense, it must fall under:

Manchester City Council, and
the official boundaries of the City of Manchester

➡️ Cheadle Hulme does not — it falls under Stockport Council.

🧭 Why people still say “Manchester”

It’s part of Greater Manchester (the wider region)
It’s close to the city
People use “Manchester” informally for the whole metro area

✅ Bottom line

Legally: ❌ Not in Manchester
Administratively: ✅ In Stockport, Greater Manchester
Casually/geographically: 👍 Often described as “Manchester area”

WHICH MEANS THAT MANCHESTER CIRCLE OF MAGICIAN’S IS NOT REALLY IN MANCHESTER & ORDER OF MAGI IS NOT ONLY THE FIRST, ORIGINAL & OLDEST MAGIC CLUB IN MANCHESTER BUT TRULY IS CURRENTLY THE ONLY MAGIC CLUB THAT IS TRULY LEGALLY IN MANCHESTER

I can also confirm that not only are we genuinely in Manchester, but The Irish World Heritage Centre located at 1 Irish Town Way, Queens Road, Cheetham Hill, Manchester, M8 0AE - https://iwhc.com/contact/ is only a 5 minute walk from the Queens Road Metrolink Tram Station, local buses stop nearby also and the venue has a very large car park.
