Manchester Theatres and Concert Venues

Throughout the Greater Manchester area there is a wonderful range of theatres and concert venues – from smaller, more intimate theatre venues such as The Green Room Theatre to venues large enough for world class performances such as the MEN Arena.

With music, drama, cultural events and theatre productions for all ages and tastes Manchester residents and visitors to Manchester have numerous events to chose from. With so many events on every week there is something for everyone – from contemporary theatre and world famous musicals to cutting edge performances.

Don’t forget the traditional typically British pantomime performances in theatres across the region during December and January each year. Once experienced they are never forgotten!
