    This was a return visit after a significant time gap. It was pleasing to see that apart from a section of the indoor market hall being closed due to RAAC concrete issues, it was as active as ever. This is a very large market located adjacent to a good shopping mall and close to the Bury Transport Interchange. There is also a large multi story car park on the edge of the market. Although it was a midweek visit the market was very busy and there were very few empty stalls. The range of items available is extensive. A great traditional market.

    An excellent military museum. Exhibits were well presented and staff were friendly and helpful. If I have one minor criticism, the lighting seems rather dim making some of the printed information difficult to read. On the other hand, it could be that my eyesight is poor!

    Another brilliant play and wonderful performances from all the girls. Be my baby was a very emotional and heartfelt story that also had some good old fashioned humour thrown in for good measure. Lovely little theatre and friendly staff.

    We had a walk up to the Peel Tower on New Year's day. It was open so we decided to have a climb to the top. It was £4 for 2 adults and 1 child. As you can imagine there was a lot of steps, but they weren't steep. Really good views from the top. It was very busy so it was a bit of a squeeze passing on the stairs and then at the top.

    Great panto, great staff but the bar was seriously understaffed as usual.
    The legroom in the seats is awful, very uncomfortable and no fun for anyone over 5ft 6.

    An amazing hidden gem in Manchester/Bury area. Incredible variety of food and drink and reasonably priced. We went on a Saturday and there was a guitarist playing lots of Manchester classics - loved it! Something for everyone.

    Kiss me like you mean it - fantastic production, acting, and script, delivered with pace and every emotion going! A play in two parts - best I have seen in 15 years of attending Summerseat Players. I can’t recommend enough. Don’t miss it!

    First time visit with our four year old grandson, coupled with a ride on the ELR and meet the Gruffalo experience.
    We all had a great time and he loved being able to go on the buses, especially upstairs.
    All the volunteers were friendly and helpful.
    There were a good selection of vehicles of all types with something for everyone.
    My only criticism is that there was nowhere to get a drink or snack (even a vending machine would have been welcome). However just across the road is Bolton Street Station part of the ELR where refreshments can be obtained.

    Housed in a magnificent building which opened in 1901; this is a free Council run museum. The highlight is the Wrigley Collection; an assemblage of more than two hundred oil paintings, watercolours, prints and ceramics, which includes works by J. M. W. Turner, John Constable, Edwin Landseer, and George Clausen. There is a feature on modern sculpture; not for everyone but if you are interested then you will probably like this.
