“Where do you go back to?” Northern Soul explores Stretford Public Hall
An unassuming red-brick building on the corner of a main road (cue attractive pelican crossing), Stretford Public Hall has been home to some pretty incredible moments.
Hotel Review: The White Hart at Lydgate, Oldham
The checking-in process at hotels can be laborious.
Hotel Review: Andaz London Liverpool Street
Hotels near airports or train stations can conjure up images of pokey rooms with a sad looking ironing board in the corner.
Christmas Markets: Manchester, Berlin, Naples

Finding a hotel in the capital that strikes the right balance between comfort, location and price isn’t always easy.
Theatre Review: On Behalf of the People, Burgess Foundation, Manchester
In my mind, there are two types of plays: the ones where you keep checking your watch and the ones where you leave the theatre and it’s suddenly dark.
Review: The Newspaper Boy, 53Two, Manchester
There are a handful of Corrie favourites mingling as I head to a hidden archway under the Deansgate / Castlefield Met to celebrate the launch of Manchester’s newest play.

Review: The Jungle Book, The Lowry, Salford
As I observed the seats filling up for The Jungle Book, I suddenly panicked that I’d come to the show without a kid. Yet Metta Theatre’s electric re-telling – combining street dance and circus routines to bring Rudyard Kipling’s tale into the 21st century – is not just for children.
