Some of the key programme highlights include live music (such as rock, folk and blues) which are contrasted with great jazz and classical music; with concerts by swing and jazz bands and some exceptionally talented vocal artists.

They have recently solidified an affiliation with the Wirral Youth Theatre group in order to help aspiring actors and actresses perform in a great performance space and hold workshops in order to progress in their careers as young stars! They have a few big name artists taking to the stage in their performance space each year, with Thea Gilmore being one of the hot acts penned in for later this year! You can hire the venue for weddings and corporate events as they have a number of spaces available, so it's worth ringing them if you need somewhere to meet or party!

It is an exhibition space (at the moment it is host to some restoration photography) a specialist book shop (crammed with architectural, arty hardbacks) and a seminar room which is available to hire out for anything from gigs to meetings and it's all kitted out. The vibe in here is modern and relaxed, it's a clean cut space which would be good to sit and do some research if architecture is your game. Or just to have a mooch round the wooden floored rooms echoing round browsing the current exhibitions.

I say it lies in wait because I've never seen anyone in here and it seems to be poorly located in terms of attracting a market, it also doesn't seem to advertise that much as the first time I heard of it was when I walked past it. It's basically a posh specialist book shop and a seminar room in the heart of the city centre. The seminar room is fully equipped with all the latest audio/visual technology so it's a great venue for businesses to rent and is well worth getting a quote on if you're pitching or trying to impress clients or potential clients!

After being told it was 'far away from the city centre' I was surprised to find us there in no more than 10 minutes from Liverpool One - have people forgotten how to walk? We were there to check out the 'No Homers Club' exhibition, to which my attention was drawn via Twitter. Now, anything Simpsons related is bound to get me excited, and the name alone was enough to have me arranging a day out to the 'Pool. Heading into the city anyway for a hen do, it was great to find something else to extend my visit (and have an excuse to take the other half with me for some lunch company!) The exhibition space itself is somewhat hidden, so keep your eyes open for any signage. It hosts a number of events throughout the year, including live music and djs, so there is a fully stocked bar at the front. Lots of people were going for coffee, served in takeout cups, or beer. The interior is large and white, making it perfect for people who want to make their mark, with two sets of toilets available. Regarding the 'No Homers Club' - well, I wanted everything! An eclectic, pop culture experience that would have any Simpsons fan grinning. From the 'draw Milhouse from memory in a minute' activity for an upcoming zine to screen printing, it was a brilliantly curated collection and a great way to spend some time. I'll be keeping my eye on this venue to check out some more events in the future!

Like all Liverpudlian nights out, this one had a good atmosphere. The creative scene here is stronger than anywhere else I've been mainly because it's the norm. Constellations and similar Baltic region converted warehouses have created a new dimension to the well established basement bar scene on central Liverpool. Within this relatively new venue ceilings are high and decorated with falling diamonds and golden leaves. The smoke from the machine rises. The bars are new and clean, but they haven't lost any sense of authenticity. This place means something, and it means something new. Full of musicians with serious credentials and even better personalities. You can meet at least ten new people without even trying - oh and as to be expected they've got to be some of the most stylish people I've seen in a while. I fitted right in :) I haven't eaten there yet but the photographs alone are making me hungry for more. A far cry from the post war Beatles diet, this new landmark is representing how it feels to be alive now in a scene that's ripe for success for those with talent. As always, much more than just a night out. Inspiring times!

It is Wirral's largest and most flexible venues and can hold a brad range of cultural and business events. I visited the cafe not long ago and it really is the central perk of the region and an ideal hang out place for friends. The venue holds everything from weddings, musicals, awards dinners, product launches, family fun days to business conferences, offering something for everyone. The panoramic lounge is a fantastic, and as you walk past it you'd be hard pressed not to investigate and pop in. Grab a leaflet with listings and get yourself an excuse to check out the 800plus seat theatre, because you won't be disappointed!!

Fantastic flower shop and staff really friendly…read more I can see why Bromborough Flowers have been winning awards and are rated amongst the best on the Wirral. Lovely selection of flowers and low prices, and arrangements in store which were stunning. The business was recommended to me as a wedding florist by several of my friends, and they didn't disappoint, Pauline & Andrea were amazing throughout!! I booked a wedding consultation initially with Pauline for my wedding flowers and to share some ideas, she made me feel so relaxed and definately took the stress out of the process, offering fantastic and well informed expert advice. I never once felt pressured, sadly the same could not be said for some of the other florists with whom I had consulted with. After finally agreeing on my flowers and various things, I was kept in touch with throughout the process which certainly helped ease the nerves and worry. The 'big day' arrived and my flowers were presented to me at the hotel and as promised, the venue was fully dressed - I never once had any concerns, and the flowers just were simply stunning so much so it brought me to tears; the fact I had so many comments about them during the day confirmed that I had made the right decision in going to Bromborough Flowers. The biggest surprise (or maybe it wasnt given what I had been told by friends who have been here before), was simply the price... I had to ask Pauline to recheck a couple of times as it was massively cheaper than the other florists who quoted me in the area. Highly recommended in the highest possible way and I would not go anywhere else now!

Their target age is 2-10 years old, which I think is about right; any older and the kids would probably think it "so uncool". There are six zones, three craft tables, science shows, a climbing wall, a real car to paint (which I think is a slight insult to the mini!!), a giant bubble area and a dressing up area. They also have themed activities which you can find out about on the website. There is also a cafe serving a wide range of healthy food, so you don't have to worry about all the E numbers your kid has taken in! It's a great place to host a birthday party too, the staff are really helpful and take the stress out of the organisation. The other great thing about this place is it doesn't cost an arm and a leg for the whole family to have a day out. A group of 4 is £20 at peak times, or a single child ranges from £4.50 to £5.95.

This place is awesome! You will need a kid (2 to 10 years old) though - a niece/nephew? Luckily my…read morefriend needed a break from her children so I got to hang out with them all day at Underwater Street. I don't know whether I am just badly informed but I have never come across such a fun place for kids to learn and play. There is so much to do and all so very varied. There are six zones, including the physical zone, art zone, sensary zone etc. The staff are pretty great and spend time interacting with the children. I don't remember there being places like this when I was 2! Highlights and favourites for me and the kids were - Mr Ben's fancy dress shop, the poochi parlour where you can mend and fix poorly dogs, the Pizzeria where the kids get to run their own restaurant, be the chef or waiter. With the summer holidays coming, this is definitely a great place for the kids!
