Best Rated Movie Theaters in Bold Heath

"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."

"Another beautiful example of a Grade I listed building in the city, the Bluecoat has 300 years of history and is a central hub of visual art, literature, dance, music, and family entertainment. There is also a relaxing courtyard where you can sit and take advantage of the café, and plenty of independent stores on the grounds, including florists, jewellers, and dress makers. Look out for regular art exhibitions, book fairs and record fairs."

"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."

"The Royal Exchange Theatre is located just off St Ann’s Square in the city centre and has seen performances from some of the UK’s leading actors including Maxine Peake and Julie Hesmondhalgh. The Module theatre is a seven-sided, glass-walled capsule that is suspended in the centre of the Great Hall and means that all seats are less than nine metres from the 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."

"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"

"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."

"Another one that you'll have to exercise patience for is the RNCM (Royal Northern College of Music), which is - understandably - prioritising the return of students and tutors. You can see the latest updates at www.rncm.ac.uk."

"The Royal Northern College of Music is an internationally acclaimed conservatoire, as well as an eclectic performance venue delivering a diverse programme of music and opera performances."

"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."

"Gino’s is the newbie on Market Street, a small parlour that channels Italy from the music to the ingredients used in the gelato that’s made fresh every day. Tuck into the smooth Ferrero Rocher or the refreshing classic strawberry gelato – or any of the fabulous flavours – in a tub, cone, on a waffle, in a milkshake or even on a pancake."

"This Didsbury pizza place had already proove-d itself on the classic pizza front but has recently really stepped up its vegan game too. Not content with a token ‘vegan cheese optional’ footnote, instead a whole menu of vegan pizzas ‘designed by vegans for vegans’ has joined the party. Choose from nine pizzas from the basic Margherita to wildcards like the Art-Beet with basil, beetroot and artichokes or La Contadina with green pea base, sauteed cabbage, capers, vegan Mozzarella and pistachios."

"Even though there are so many great brunches in Manchester, I always gravitate back to Federal. I love the halloumi veggie bagel and the mushrooms and poached eggs on sourdough. None of the brunch dishes are more than £7.50 in Federal which means you can include a coffee and still pay less than £10 for brunch."

"One of the Northern Quarters coolest brunch spots, Federal Cafe & Bar is bringing a little Australian attitude to your feasting. Proving they know a thing or two about early mornings, this place will keep you coming back for banana bread, omelettes, Turkish eggs and bagels."

"Federal Cafe is best known for their weekend brunches when customers cram in and queues are often out the door. Their coffee though stands on its own as one of the best cups in the city. Throw in great cocktails and there really is something for everybody here."

"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."
