Intrigue me, Inspire me, Amuse me, Please me...

The Northwest has its own particular take on culture. It’s not a case of high brow or low brow, alternative or mainstream – in England’s Northwest all shades of the cultural spectrum intermingle in inventive and eccentric ways.

We call it liveable culture – culture that’s "always on". Take all our rich heritage and tradition and mix it with an unmatched drive to explore the "what if?" The result is an energy and excitement that delivers a tangible buzz.
