"If highstreet brands aren’t really your thing and you would rather something a little more unique, the Bluecoat is the place for you. Based in the heart of the city’s shopping district, the Bluecoat offers an eclectic mix of unique and beautifully handcrafted products. With the best range of contemporary fashion, homeware and crafts around, it’s definitely one to visit."

"The Bluecoat on School lane is a perfect place to get your camera out. The 300 year old building is home to art galleries, places to eat, a book shop, a sun trap courtyard and loads more. You could spend a whole afternoon here filling up the photo album."

"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."

"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."

"We'll all have to wait until June to get back inside the world-class Royal Exchange Theatre. The venue will open on June 23, with details to be announced at royalexchange.co.uk in due course."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Run by Dave Abe and his Japanese father, this hidden-away restaurant is one of Liverpool’s best kept foodie secrets. Set up by the pair when they noticed the lack of quality Japanese food in the North-West of England, Etsu hired the very best specialty chefs they could find and set about introducing Scousers to high-quality, authentic Japanese dishes. With over 70 years of restaurant experience between the staff, relax in Etsu’s cosy atmosphere and enjoy some jaw-dropping Japanese food, including traditional bento boxes for lunch, delicious curries such as Tonkatsu and Torikatsu, Udon soup noodle bowls and much, much more."

"Etsu is an authentic Japanese restaurant that serves the best tasting sushi menu in the whole of Liverpool. Always made fresh upon order, you can choose from the selection of maki sushi, California rolls, temaki, gunkan and nigiri sushi that they have. Made from the freshest and finest ingredients of fish and seafood like salmon, tuna, eel, crabstick, king prawn, mackerel, octopus, clam and many others, you will certainly find the best one that will tempt your palate and provide you with filling sushis that are hand-rolled to perfection."

"Hidden from the main road within the concrete confines of Beetham Plaza, this A1 Japanese restaurant is easy to overlook. It's not a budget choice at night but, at lunchtime, it dispenses a variety of sub-£10 bento boxes. Served with rice, salad, steamed vegetables and a terrific tangle of sweet 'n' sour pickled cucumber, the pan-fried sea bass was excellent, its skin crisp, the lusciously thick ponzu dressing memorable."

"Thankfully, Cake Box now delivers straight to your doorstep!. All their products are free from meat and eggs. They do, however, use cream in most of their items."

"About: Patisserie Valerie in Deansgate is a haven of self-indulgence. This luxurious, continental-style patisserie and café is famed for delicious handmade cakes and pastries. Under the counter you'll discover a mouth-watering array of sugary treats such as tarts, macaroons and gateauxs."

"I wouldn’t normally have chosen this flavour, but on a hot day they only had three to choose from. Had a changing flavour – hints of coffee, cream and caramel with little bits of caramel which gave a nice texture change."

"Eastham Country Park is a 100 acres of woodland that is good for peaceful walks while having a one of a kind birdwatching adventure. Experience the abundance in birdlife and greeneries that this country park is offering. A perfect place for the family to have their quality time, kids and their parents would love to do the many activities offered in this place."

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. Tucked away from Warrington’s main town centre, where you will find all your standard high street shops and some small independent boutiques too, you will find Woolston Park. A wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning or sunny weekday after work, Woolston Park is a much-loved spot by local people."
