"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.

"Royal Exchange Theatre, St Ann’s Square, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M2 7DH - Visit now. This former trading hall underwent a £32m redevelopment after being severely damaged by the 1996 IRA bomb in Manchester’s city centre – and has been delivering stellar productions from its unusual seven-sided glass and steel theatre-in-the-round (the biggest in the UK), and smaller (but still excellent) studio, ever since. Productions here are renowned – both Vanessa Redgrave and Helen Mirren have graced the Royal Exchange’s stage."

"One of my favorite things to do while traveling is to go see a show. Is there anything more fun than theatre?. During my time in Manchester, we went to see a local production of Frankenstein at the Royal Exchange Theatre."

"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."

"A modest Anglican parish church, originally built in 1832, St. Luke’s was a victim of the Liverpool Blitz in 1941 and now stands as a roofless shell, a monument to those who were lost during the war."

"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."

"Another one that you'll have to exercise patience for is the RNCM (Royal Northern College of Music), which is - understandably - prioritising the return of students and tutors. You can see the latest updates at www.rncm.ac.uk."

"The Royal Northern College of Music is an internationally acclaimed conservatoire, as well as an eclectic performance venue delivering a diverse programme of music and opera performances."

"Liverpool Everyman Theatre, 5-9 Hope Street, Liverpool, Merseyside, L1 9BH - Visit now. The Everyman reopened in March 2014 after extensive renovation to its stage, restaurant and backstage areas; the newly opened version is sustainable, accessible and really rather swish. Inclusiveness runs through the new design – its frontage, dominated by a new “portrait wall”, shows 105 different Liverpool residents, cut into a metal facade."

"Founded in 1964, the Everyman Theatre has been bringing groundbreaking talent to Hope Street for over half a decade. The stage for early performances from Julie Walters, Bill Nighy and Bernard Hill, this venue is steeped in history – the building itself won the 2014 RIBA Stirling Prize for architecture. Showing a range of plays from classic Shakespeare to brand new material, a show at the Everyman is not to be missed."

"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. Contact will be heading out across the city this summer, delivering a series of outdoor performances before its building reopens to the public in September 2021."

"The Tabac Rita' Big Breakfast full English is truly a thing of beauty (especially after a big night out). Tuck in to two eggs (cooked how you like them), two sausages, two rashers of bacon, beans, grilled tomato, one hash brown, mushrooms, black pudding, beans and toast. What’s best is they serve their slap-up breakfasts until 8pm, so you can enjoy it even after the laziest of lie-ins."

"Situated on Bold Street, Tabac has been going close to 40 years so you know they’ve perfected a good breakfast over the years. It is scientifically proven there is no better way to start the day than a Tabac breakfast and hangovers cower when they see it in all its glory. It’d be rude not to get a Bloody Mary to the side, wouldn’t it?"

"Cafe Tabac at the top of Bold Street is the perfect place for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or even just cocktails. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by Cafe Tabac (@cafetabacliverpool)"

"New kids on the corner of Penny Lane, Bean There have a small but expertly crafted breakfast menu that provides you with everything you need to kickstart your morning (including really great coffee). Try the classic poached eggs and avo on delicious sourdough toast or alternatively go for a breakfast sandwich made with one of their homebaked Irish soda farls. Served warm, smothered in homemade chutney and topped with spinach you can choose from sausage, bacon or vegan sausage and even add two poached eggs."

"If the Beatles had written the song ‘Penny Lane’ in 2019 then surely this coffee shop would have made it into the lyrics. Located a stone’s throw from the street immortalized in the 1967 hit, Bean There is a great place to sip a cuppa while soaking up a piece of musical folklore. It is also a decent choice for anybody looking to work, owing to a decent wi-fi speed, quiet atmosphere, and plenty of plugs for laptops as well as tables for pads and paper."

"Bean There on the corner of Smithdown and Penny Lane is knocking out these little beauties seven days a week, ready for collection, or you could try one of their breakfast bagel sandwiches which are served daily from 8.30am weekdays and 9am weekends."

"Artisane seems to bring an aspect of French patisseries to Liverpool. They have two locations, between which they have a huge range of incredible cakes, breads, sandwiches and coffees – but the pastries are the real attraction. The counters are full of croissant, pain au chocolat and all other French treats you can imagine – it’s a real shame I couldn’t try one of each."

"For freshly made French inspired baked goods head to Artisane on Bold Street. Have a look at their stunning offering on the counter for something to sit in or take away and you won't be disappointed. Serving up everything from sandwiches, cakes and pastries, it’s always best going independent."

"For expertly crafted pastries, superb sandwiches, pasta boxes and connoisseurs’ coffee you can’t go wrong with this place. Easily missed due to it’s diminutive dimensions. Our Kitchen next door is also worth checking out as a great addition to Liverpool’s vegetarian and vegan offer."

"Popular with students, this yakitori joint imbues a rather soulless unit off Oxford Road (the main university drag) with the warmth of Japanese comfort food ..."
