We were visiting to see 1917 on the IMAX screen. Brilliant to see at that scale. The museum has some good permanent displays and the galleries often have interesting exhibitions to see. Good for kids and families but worth a visit whoever you are.

The Alhambra Theatre is a hubbub of theatrical productions up North of England. It has all the latest shows, including large productions such as Wicked, The Lion King and The Sound of Music moreover, a very popular Pantomime at Christmas. All touring shows generally go to the Alhambra, so you are sure to have a terrific time at this theatre. There is a bar and refreshments available with a wonderful and attentive staff. I have worked here many times and always look forward to coming back to the Alhambra.
