Pied Piper With Characters

THERE’S STILL TIME FOR PANTO FUN!

Our family pantomime The Pied Piper of Hamelin can still be seen after Christmas – making tickets for the 27 and 28 December performances the perfect last-minute gift.

Jean Genie

CLASSIC TRIBUTES

Enjoy fantastic tributes to some of the biggest bands in rock history, including Jean Genie (a tribute to David Bowie), Pinked Floyd, Noasis, Laid (a tribute to James), Moving Pictures (a tribute to Rush), CODA (a tribute to Led Zeppelin), Fleetwood Bac, and Arctic Numpties.

Spiers and Boden

FOR THE LIVE MUSIC FANS

February brings a dose of classic British blues from legends Paul Jones and Dave Kelly followed by folk icons Spiers and Boden.

In March, we welcome pop star Paul Young with Los Pacaminos, for a lively, festive night of vibrant Latin-inspired rhythms; electronic-dub-rock fusion from Transglobal Underground; and French/Irish band The Celtic Social Club do amazing things with the traditional music of Brittany, Ireland, and Scotland.

Then in April King Pleasure and The Biscuit Boys join us for a night of authentic rhythm and blues; and there’s classic pop and soul from Andy Fairweather Low and the Low Riders.

Looking for Me Friend

LOOKING FOR LAUGHS

Our monthly First Thursday Comedy nights bring the very best of the comedy circuit to Bury. You can also catch our Comedian of the Year Competition showcasing six of the best up-and-coming comedians competing for a £600 prize.

For those who love music with their laughs, gift tickets to the hilarious Lancashire Hotpots, or Looking For Me Friend, a heartfelt celebration of the songs of Bury’s own comedy legend Victoria Wood.
