    Went to see Rick Astley on his book launch Tour. Go to many theatre shows, concerts etc but this is the first time I have seen any show or event at the Bridgewater Hall. A lovely venue, spacious foyer, decent toilets and lovely auditorium. Very impressed!

    We visited for my mum and sisters open university graduation! Brilliant venue, well organised. The hall itself is beautiful and the seats were surprisingly comfy. Would highly recommend a visit.

    Our first visit, my son is obsessed with the piano and we managed to get last minute tickets to the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. The staff were simply amazing, so welcoming, helpful and warm. I was worried it might be overwhelming as my son is autistic but from the offset we were put at ease, we were helped with directions and even offered advice later about trams. I would highly recommend a visit to this superb venue, it's a beautiful building and the acoustics are unbelievable. Thanks for a great evening and we look forward to visiting again
