Discover The Met
The Met is a beautiful Grade II listed building, built in 1850 in the centre of Bury. Ambitiously refurbished in 2016 (after years of popular events), the building’s features have been carefully restored, whilst the venue’s facilities have been fully modernised.
We are an innovative organisation who are grateful for the support of our partners, which helps us present a wide range of work, and enables us to nurture artists and develop audiences.
The help of our corporate supporters means we can present a wide range of music, theatre and comedy and a range of classes and workshops that reach many communities in Bury.
