The Bridgewater Hall

Home of the Hallé orchestra, with concerts most nights of the week.

The Hallé is the oldest professional symphony orchestra in the country and the Bridgewater Hall is its purpose-built home, with a programme that runs from Mahler to jazz and pop. Cheap seats are often available on the day. A clear evening plan when it is wet and you want something that is not a bar.

When it works

Indoors, so the weather does not matter. Best evening.

Good for a date, going solo and step-free visits.
