Manchester theatres and concert venues
Throughout the Greater Manchester area there is a wonderful range of theatres and concert venues - from small and intimate theatre venues to concert venues large enough for the most famous acts in the world. From contemporary theatre and world famous musicals to cutting edge performances there is something for everyone. 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!
The list below contains many of the most interesting venues in Greater Manchester. The list is divided into two parts. The first lists Manchester venues and the second lists those venues located across the Greater Manchester area.
They are all well worth a visit....
