Top Rated Concerts and Shows in Daresbury

"Created by artist duo Simon & Tom Bloor, Bluecoat Platform, has been made in collaboration with Liverpool children from Out of the Blue, the venue's outreach art programme for children aged 5-11. The new sculpture is based on shapes developed by the children in workshops with the artists, to create a platform that brings some of Bluecoat’s artistic activities out of the building for the public to enjoy."

"While not necessarily an independent shop on its own, The Bluecoat School is more than worthy of a mention. Famously known as Liverpool’s creative hub, The Bluecoat is home to a range of indie shops and performance spaces. It’s well worth a visit."

"Built in 1716, Bluecoat Chambers is considered the oldest building in Liverpool. Originally constructed as a charity school, the premises is now home to an arts centre, known as The Bluecoat."

"The Royal Exchange Theatre is free to visit, also when you don’t have tickets for a show. Besides the round stage in the middle of the dome you’ll also find the Rivals restaurant and bar and a theatre shop in the Royal Exchange Theatre. The pink illumination makes this theatre great for Instagram pictures."

"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."

"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."

"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.

"Since opening their doors in November 2015, Hope Mill Theatre has become one of the most successful independent venues in England. Located in Ancoats, they produce full scale musicals from their Grade II listed former mill. The theatre will be reopening this summer, as well as hosting Hope Fest, an outdoor arts and culture festival."

"This wonderful independent venue, located out in New Islington, was one of the few theatres that managed to reopen last year after lockdown. It'll be back again with a reduced capacity and socially distanced seating for a Meet Me At Dawn, from HER Productions. You can get tickets at hopemilltheatre.co.uk."

"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."

"Manchester Opera House is the Palace Theatre’s little sister. It’s located on Quay Street, near Spinningfields. It is smaller than the Palace theatre however, there are still some amazing productions to see here."

"05/06/2021: It was the best Margarette pizza I’ve ever eaten. The chef was so friendly and so was waitress. The environment was authentic."

"The Beagle, 456-458 Barlow Moor Road, Chorlton, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M21 0BQ - Visit now. Another Chorlton favorite, The Beagle has some excellent breakfast options and their Mexican infused menu sets it apart from the competition. There are some great choices for vegetarians and vegans here too, we highly recommend the frijoles on toast, or, if you’re feeling like getting on an early morning buzz, try their famous Bottomless Brunch which promises infinite brunch and endless booze."

"Situated in the heart of Chorlton, The Beagle is a neighbourhood bar and pub that's home to a quality selection of drinks. Whether you're after vegan burritos and Aperol spritzes or a meaty wrap washed down with happy hour lagers, you'll find it all here."

"In the grand hipster tradition of transforming mundane objects into fancy joints, some of the new venues you will witness include old warehouses, abandoned railways and reformed pubs. From unforgettable Indian food to mouthwatering pizza and everything in between, here is a list of the best restaurants in Manchester, chosen by our team of local experts."

"Gartside Street,3 Hardman Square, Spinningfields, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M3 3EB. Instagram-friendly interiors are bolstered by a delectable menu of dim sum and Asian-inspired small plates at this ever popular restaurant and cocktail bar. Don’t forget to snap a pic underneath the pink cherry blossom tree."

"It goes without saying that a visit to Tattu should be on the agenda when you're in town. The menu is just as striking as the interiors, with authentic pan-Asian dishes alongside distinctive cocktails containing ingredients like sake and yuzu."

"Home to Ramen Noodle, roast chicken, roast duck, salt and pepper everything, katsu and sui mei, Maggie Fu has it all and they are opening a new venue on Hanover Street soon too!. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by Maggie Fu (@maggiefuliverpool)"
