Simister is a small village in the Metropolitan Borough of Bury, in Greater Manchester, England, historically part of Lancashire. It sits on the northern edge of the Manchester urban area and retains a distinctly rural feel, with surrounding farmland and a number of older buildings, most notably the moated manor of Simister Old Hall.
Many residents commute into nearby Manchester or Bury, but the village keeps a tight-knit community atmosphere, with local events, footpaths and greenbelt countryside that attract walkers and those seeking a quieter base close to the city. The economy is a mix of small local businesses and agricultural activity alongside commuter households.
