Best Rated Movie Theaters in Appley Bridge

"One of the undisputed grande dames of Liverpool's cultural landscape, the Bluecoat gallery is housed in the oldest building in the city centre; originally a schoolhouse and dating from the early 18th century, the building enjoys Unesco world heritage and Grade I-listed status. Although boasting a rich history: it hosted the first Post Impressionist exhibition in 1911, including works by Picasso, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Matisse and Gauguin – it is, nevertheless, an institution facing forwards. Not without initial local controversy, the arts centre underwent significant architectural redevelopment in 2008 and continues to be a staple for those hoping to spot emerging and mid-career artists."

"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.

"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.
