Greater Manchester is home to a thriving theatre scene and it’s no surprise considering the amazing venues we’ve got, from The Lowry in Salford to the Octagon in Bolton. But often the theatres themselves can be just as impressive as the performances on stage.

It was only beaten by Shakespeare’s Globe in London and the London Coliseum. The exterior was ranked as the fifth most beautiful in the UK.
