Top Rated Concerts and Shows in Acton Bridge

"Another beautiful example of a Grade I listed building in the city, the Bluecoat has 300 years of history and is a central hub of visual art, literature, dance, music, and family entertainment. There is also a relaxing courtyard where you can sit and take advantage of the café, and plenty of independent stores on the grounds, including florists, jewellers, and dress makers. Look out for regular art exhibitions, book fairs and record fairs."

"Situated in the heart of the city centre in Church Street retail area, is the distinctive Bluecoat Chambers. Built in 1716-17 as a charity school, Bluecoat Chambers in School Lane is the oldest surviving building in central Liverpool. Following the Liverpool Blue Coat School’s move to another site in 1906, the building was rented from 1907 onwards by the Sandon Studios Society."

"The oldest remaining building in central Liverpool, Bluecoat Chambers is packed with history. Opened in 1717 as a charity school, the building now operates as an arts centre. Following damage to the building suffered during the Liverpool Blitz in 1941, a period of restoration saw the venue re-open fully in 2008, to celebrate Liverpool’s year as City of Culture."

"The Royal Exchange Theatre is located just off St Ann’s Square in the city centre and has seen performances from some of the UK’s leading actors including Maxine Peake and Julie Hesmondhalgh. The Module theatre is a seven-sided, glass-walled capsule that is suspended in the centre of the Great Hall and means that all seats are less than nine metres from the stage."

"Admittedly, you have to pay for a theatre ticket if you want to watch a performance at the Royal Exchange Theatre. However, I really love the building itself, especially the pink Grand Hall, and think it’s worth a visit for the Victorian architecture alone."

"We'll all have to wait until June to get back inside the world-class Royal Exchange Theatre. The venue will open on June 23, with details to be announced at royalexchange.co.uk in due course."

"The May Blitz of 1941 saw St Luke’s church forever changed when a bomb landed right on top of it’s roof. Over time, the city has lovingly restored it back to life and it now plays host to everything from weddings, to gigs, to farmers markets and cinema screenings. The church itself and the gardens around it are a total treat for the eye."

"St Luke’s which is popularly known as the bombed-out church was destroyed during World War II. It has no ceiling and plants are growing inside. You and your loved one can find tranquility in the city center there. It also serves as a memorial to the people who lost their lives during the world war."

"Also known as St. Luke’s Church, the Bombed-Out Church lost its roof during the World War II blitz and has now been transformed into a wedding venue, café and a great spot for pictures. The church is incredible to look around and is also filled with so much history."

"Set in the historic heart of town is the Storyhouse building which houses, not only a library and restaurant but a theater and cinema too. A very popular place, it puts on lots of excellent plays and performances with countless cultural events and films also shown during the year. Since its opening in 1936 as an Odeon cinema, the Art Deco building has been at the center of cultural life in the city."

"Storyhouse is Chester’s theatre, cinema and arts centre housed in a rejuvenated 1930s art deco Odeon cinema building. The Storyhouse’s theatre transforms from an 800 seat proscenium (the Touring Stage) to a 500 seat thrust (the Storyhouse stage)."

"Storyhouse is the place to visit to get your arts and culture fix, including a library, theatre, cinema, community hub, cultural centre and restaurant. Take a look at what events are coming up during your stay."

"The first public events will return to the Stoller Hall from June 7. Shows will be socially-distanced with reduced capacities initially, but there are hopes that it will be back to near-full capacity by September. See more and book tickets at stollerhall.com/whats-on."

"The Stoller Hall is situated in the heart of Manchester and offers a personal live music experience that puts you closer to the music. The concert hall delivers a programme including classical, folk and jazz music, as well as spoken word and comedy."

"Contact Theatre will be heading out across Manchester this summer for a series of outdoor performances. Contact is an Oxford Road theatre and performing arts venue creating and producing its own shows, as well as hosting tours from the world’s best theatre companies.

"The Bluecoat is a true gem in Liverpool's city centre, but many shoppers are less aware of the shops inside. The Painted Chair has been open for three years and it is run by Jan Wooley, 52 who launched the business after leaving her previous role as a teacher. She said: "We are very much aimed at local people in Liverpool."

Food-wise, guests can expect coffees, pizzas, traditional brunch dishes, burgers, donuts, burritos and tacos – with both a lovely outdoor terrace to enjoy and an indoor market, too. Altrincham Market, Greenwood St, Altrincham, WA14 1SA."

"Venturing further south, the Gulshan has earned a place in many a curry lover’s heart, having established itself in Cressington and garnered more than its fair share of awards over the years. In recent months, the Aigburth Road eatery has changed its set-up, with the curry house now based on the first floor of the building. This has only improved the whole experience, and a visit there promises a family-friendly environment, brimming with some awesome grub."
