The Brindley Theatre

Reviewed By TSM2010 - Warrington, United Kingdom

Love this theatre. Fantastic vantage points throughout, friendly team and super helpful box office. We went to see the panto Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs as a group of 10 and we loved the experience. The pantomime was great, particularly Andrew Curphey (of the excellent Andrew Curphey Theatre Company) and Matt Dallen as Muddles and the Dame! Brilliant energy and engaging performances from both of them. 12 days of Christmas was just hilarious. Can’t wait to see them try to top it next year in Aladdin!

Norton Priory Museum and Gardens

Norton Priory is the most excavated monastic site in Europe. Boasting the priory ruins, 12th century undercroft (which is the last fully surviving part of the priory itself) and an 18th century Walled Garden, it is located within an oasis of 42 acres of tranquil woodland and wildflower meadows. The museum includes two exhibition galleries which explore the site's history, including the archaeological digs which took place in the 1970s and 1980s. Thousands of artefacts from Norton’s 900 year history are on display, including the internationally significant 14th century statue of St. Christopher, which features in Lucy M. Boston's classic children's book, 'The Children of Green Knowe'. Please note that as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are currently opening on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays only at this time. We advise booking in advance via our website, or calling prior to visiting during our opening hours.

We had a great day out in Norton Priory with its fascinating ruins and exhibitions, fun kids activities, extensive grounds and beautiful walled garden. I came in August with my son whilst visiting family. I was so impressed with the precautions they’ve taken to follow the Covid guidelines as well as still making it a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to help. We’ll definitely be back when we can.

Jump Nation

Picture the scene, wall to wall trampolines as far as the eye can see, all connected together to form one huge indoor trampoline park. Now imagine angled trampolines forming the sides so you, your family and friends can literally bounce off the walls! This is what you will find at Jump Nation's trampoline parks, the largest indoor trampoline arenas in Europe.

Inflata Nation

The UK’s first indoor inflatable theme park for all the family! Gone are the days when inflatables are only something to make an appearance in a back garden or at a country fair, this is the next generation in family leisure activities. Picture the scene, all your favourite fun-filled inflatable activities joined together as one huge indoor arena, leaving you free to bounce between them all!

It can be very busy on the weekends so I advise booking online before! Or go early morning or late afternoon. They do toddler time with Disney music and free juice & biscuits throughout the week and Saturday morning and disability friendly sessions without music. There is an under 4’s section separate from the main arena which is good for babies. Perfect rainy day activity for all the family as adults can bounce too! They have a cafe with coffee, biscuits, crisps, cakes and slush. There’s a vending machine with more drinks, crisps and chocolate. You can order food (pizza, chips and panini’s) from the kitchen. There are cubby holes for your shoes or you pay for a locker but it’s cash only. Lockers are non-refundable £2 for an hour and a half and £3 for two hours. You have to wear non-grip socks. Make sure you fill in your waiver form before joining the queue so you don’t have to queue twice :)
