Barrow's own arts centre/theatre, which plays host to lots of concerts and shows - everything from…read morelocal dance school shows and pantomimes at christmas, through to international stars such as Hayley Westenra who recently put on a fantastic performance at the Forum. It has a large theatre for shows, as well as function rooms for shows and exhibitions such as recent multicultural events. The Barrow Tourist Information Centre is attached to the Forum, so definitely worth a visit if you're new to Barrow. It also has a large cafe/restaurant downstairs catering for everyone from children to the elderly, and public toilets which are usually clean and tidy. It's right opposite the Town Hall, so you can't miss it. It also has a car park on its roof, which is really handy if you're shopping in town (if a little expensive at 90p an hour!)

At Christmas the Forum 28 is home to the town's annual pantomime. The theatre isn't huge, I've never counted the seats but I cant imagine there are more than 500 seats in the main theatre. The Forum occasionally attracts once famous entertainers such as Paul Daniels, Derek Acorah and Billy Ocean, but for the most part the acts are unknowns or famous in their own limited area of expertise. The Forum is also a venue used by local amateur dramatic societies and dance troops to perform in public. The Forum also has conference rooms that can be hired for private functions such and weddings or business purposes. There is a small cafe in the Forum offering drinks and snacks, and small lunches.

This is the outlet at the Lowry. We hadn't been here in a few years certainly long before wu flu…read morestruck. I'd guess it's now half empty store wise. Key shops like M&S Clothing, Black & Decker, Tefal and many more all long gone. Harry Ramsden's fish & chips still there along with subway. A chicken shack of sorts, an independent Indian and a BK. The Indian has most food pre cooked and heated on order so no thanks. When there's a Harry's I'm afraid this sort of competition has no chance with me. They used to have a spud u like but it's gone as has an ice cream parlour. The Cadbury alleged chocolate shop is still there but prices are rip off with supermarkets offering identical products much cheaper. Costa coffee is still there and they are now advertising the fact that they are selling M&S food so at least that's quality food. I'm not sure I'd make another trip back here but they still do the artisan market days so that would bring me back.

It hosts many amazing plays, musicals and many other entertainment options. I have been to see two National Theatre productions here which include the amazing War Horse and recently the Curious incident of the dog in the nighttime. It also has a couple of restaurants and cafes and amazing views to go with it. I have sat in many places in the Lyric theatre and there really isn't one bad seat plus the seats are really comfortable! All the staff who work here are really friendly and they seem to love there job. So take a look at the Lowry website to see if theres a show coming your way soon. Even if you're not sure that you might like the theatre, give it a go you may love it! The Lowry also hosts many art exhibitions which currently has Behind the Mask, the biggest collection of BAFTA-winning actor portraiture ever assembled, which has come to The Lowry for its first time out of London which is worth the trip out of town alone! You can easily get to the Lowry from the city centre of Manchester on one of the Metrolink trams which head towards Media City UK!

I was so pleased when we found Nicky's class 8 weeks ago, although I wasn't sure my daughter would enjoy the reality of learning a prescribed set of steps, but how wrong I was! Caitlin absolutely loves the class and already knows the steps to the foxtrot, waltz and cha cha. She loves coming home from class on a Thursday evening to show her Dad what she's learned and then plays at dance classes in the playground at school with her friends. Nicky has suggested the children can start taking medals in April if they want to but there is absolutely no pressure to do so. I just can't wait til my husband's injury free so we can learn too!
