NOTE started in 1999 and is based on the corner of Tib Street and Church Street in the Northern Quarter area of central Manchester. We are a short distance from many legendary Manchester skate spots such as the BBC banks/curbs, Bridgewater, Castlefield Amphitheatre, Gasworks, Town Hall, Urbis and the Pumpcage skatepark and we are also surrounded by many fashionable, independent retailers and the world famous Afflecks Palace shopping arcade.

Downstairs in the basement you will find a vast selection of skateboard decks, trucks, wheels and hardware. We carry all the best companies including A Third Foot, Alien Workshop, Almost, Antihero, Baker, Blind, Blueprint, Chocolate, Cliche, Crayon, Death, Deathwish, DGK, Enjoi, Flip, Girl, Habitat, Heroin, Krooked, Landscape, Magenta, Mystery, Palace, Real, Santa Cruz, Skate Mental, Slave, Stereo, The Harmony, Toy Machine, Unabomber, Zero, Zoo York, Independent, Royal, Silver, Tensor, Thunder, Venture, Gold, Hubba and Spitfire.

All the staff in the shop have many years of skateboard experience and some are professional skaters. We proudly sponsor a talented team of skateboarders and you will usually find one or more of them either working or lurking in NOTE.
