There are many reasons why you would come to Visit Bolton, so where to start!
Firstly, you can enjoy Bolton’s culture and there is lots of it! They have a staggering six theatres including the Octagon, a highly regarded producing theatre across the country, the amazing Bolton Albert Halls which has been a key part of cultural enjoyment for over 100 years and the historic Victoria Halls and Bolton Little Theatre.
Culture is knitted into the town’s urban environment with the stunning architecture of Le Mans Crescent providing a backdrop to popular film and TV productions like Peaky Blinders, The Ipcress File, Passenger and A Gentleman in Moscow, giving us the nickname the ‘Hollywood of the North’.
The centre is also home to the museum with one of the largest collections of Egyptology outside London as well as the ever-popular aquarium.
They have a range of public spaces like Victoria Square and Queens Park which play host to national events such as the annual Bolton Food and Drink Festival which attracts over 500,000 each year, IRONMAN weekend and the Right to Roam festival.
Enjoy a fantastic range of shopping destinations, including Market Place Shopping Centre with a host of high street shops and independent brands. They are also proud to have the Middlebrook Retail Park which is one of the largest leisure, sports, and retail venues in the country.
Of course, you may just want to get in touch with nature in their great outdoors walking, cycling or just relaxing on the West Pennine Moors or Rivington Pike.
