Top Rated Concerts and Shows in Haigh

"Bluecoat, Bluecoat Chambers, School Lane, Liverpool, L1 3BX - Visit now. The oldest building in the city centre, the Bluecoat was once a school, and is now one of the city’s liveliest arts hubs, an art gallery showing work by major national and international artists that also stages regular performances, readings and more. Clustered around its front courtyard are independent craft and design shops, while at the back you’ll find the highly-rated Bluecoat Display Centre."

"As Liverpool’s centre for contemporary arts, the Bluecoat showcases a range of visual art, music, dance, performance art and theatre. A heritage exhibition focuses on the building’s architecture, while Dot Art artist workshops give the public a chance to develop their skills in areas such as acrylic painting, jewellery making and photography.

"Original use: Bluecoat Chambers were originally built between 1716 and 1717 as charity school. In 1718, they were extended to create a boarding school and by 1719, Bluecoat Chambers enrolled 50 children, with enough space for 100 more. Construction was finally finished in 1925; however, following the death of owner William Lever that same year, a demolition proposal was put forward."

"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."

"This is truly an amazing building and its history also tells the history of Manchester. Not officially a museum, The Royal Exchange is definitely worth exploring. You only need to step into the great entrance hall to understand why you should pop in."

"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 Church, or the Bombed Out Church to the locals, sits proudly at the top of Bold Street and is a great spot for a photograph, especially if you get to head inside. Known as the Bombed Out Church because it no longer has a roof, it makes for an interesting photo for the collection. View this post on Instagram"

"More commonly known as 'the bombed out church' St Luke’s was destroyed during the Blitz of World War II. With no ceiling, and plants now growing inside, it is a real place of tranquility in the centre of the city and serves as a memorial to those who lost their lives during the war."

"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."

"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 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."

"Driven by a ferocious passion for all things Italian, Wolf can’t wait to welcome you back to the pack, with a spacious heated outdoor terrace with retractable roof available to sit at (no booking necessary). Takeaway orders can be made either in-store, through the Wolf app, or online via Deliveroo and UberEats. Open 10am – 3pm every Monday – Friday, we can’t wait to sink our teeth into something special from Wolf again."

"I swear that the good people of Manchester were waiting for me to leave… I’d been visiting for the inaugural Cup North back in 2014 and no sooner had I left, than it seemed a slew of new coffee shops opened, led by Federal Café & Bar, which, by the way, does what it says on the tin. By day, it’s a café, while by night, it morphs into a bar, although, as I discovered, the staff will happily serve you coffee long into the night (and, I suspect, alcohol during the day). The coffee side of the equation is handled by Kiwi transplants, Ozone, supplying the Hodson blend and decaf on espresso, with a couple of single-origins on pour-over, impressive when you consider the (lack of) available space."

"Having conquered Northern Quarter with their Aussie-style brunch bowls, Federal has opened another charming spot in Deansgate. Expect the same easy breezy vibes, alongside healthy plates that include a winning banana bread."

"City-centre favourite Federal offers an all-day brunch until 6pm, as well as a range of sandwiches, bagels and amazing coffee. We recommend The Turkish Eggs. View this post on Instagram"

"Opened over 40 years ago by local teacher Anne Lev on Smithdown Road, Dafna’s Cheese Cake Factory has become a local institution which specialises in original recipe, unbelievably good cakes – and most famously the cheesecake which is now available in ten flavours including the latest addition Oreo cookie. New cake and dessert recipes are always coming from this super cute kitchen which is available to take special occasion orders, along with offering sensational seasonal bakes you can pick up and convenient wheat-free, Vegan and dairy-free alternatives.

"There’s nothing quite like the perfectly baked cheesecake and at Dafna’s you can take your pick from ten exclusive flavours. The speciality cheesecake is just the tip of the iceberg as Daphna’s has taken it upon themselves to create an extensive list of cakes for every dietary requirement. In their mind, everybody should be able to experience the joy of cake and at Daphna’s everyone can."

"A couple lifelong Liverpool natives, holidaying in Texas, entered a craft beer bar for the first time, a visit which left a lasting mark, a visit that created a burning desire to bring their experience to their home city of Liverpool. A new hop head quarters that will be your new favourite watering hole. They’ve built everything with their own hands and have 20 beers that change very often, providing the perfect excuse to go back."

"This bar is truly at the cutting edge of the craft beer scene. You’ll be sure to find some rare gems from across the pond as well as some incredibly delicious local beers on offer. Dead Crafty has built up some impressive relationships over the 3 ½ years they have been open."
