Best Street Markets in Birch Vale

"Every lunch break, it’s been consistently there for us, and over the years, it’s kind of acted like a springboard of success for local food vendors. Both Viet Shack and Salt & Pepper have gone leaps and bounds since opening up on the market, with the likes of Just Natas, Piazza MCR, and Dunkin’ Burgers currently enjoying residence at the busy foodie spot. Arndale Market, 49 High St, M4 3AH."

"Thornbridge is a famous brewery located near Bakewell- it’s so well known that we once found it in a bar in Iceland!. But if you wanted to try and wide range of Thornbridge beer closer to where it’s made there are some brilliant pubs in Sheffield that the brewery have taken over. These, such as the Bath Hotel, are great places to try their tipple."

"A post shared by Bishops’ House (@bishopshousesheffield) on Mar 20, 2016 at 4:52am PDT. Built at the end of the 15th century, Bishop’s House is the best surviving timber framed house in Sheffield, and is open to the public at weekends. The charming Grade II listed building has been open as a museum since 1976, allowing visitors to explore the exhibits in the house and get a glimpse of life many centuries ago."

"It is one of the three surviving timber houses in Sheffield, making it an important part of the city’s cultural heritage. It was built in the early 16th century and also has exhibitions on life in the 16th and 17th centuries. There are passionate volunteers who will explain the rich history and insightful stories behind the building."

"The building of the Dancehouse Theatre has had a fascinating history full of transformation, morphing from meeting halls to a multi-screen cinema complex. In the 1990s it was restored to its former Art Deco splendour and was reopened as The Dancehouse Theatre, home to the Northern Ballet School. While the venue presents a broad range of performances including comedy, music and drama, dance lies at the heart of this North West icon."

"As far as theatrical experiences go, nothing comes close to the thrill of catching a live show. Be it a drama, a comedy act, a musical, Shakespeare or some combination of them all, Manchester’s thriving arts scene make it one of the best places to take in theatre. The Royal Exchange building and its theatre have survived a lot, having been badly damaged during both World War II and the Manchester bombing in 1996."

"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."
