Reasons to Visit Bolton
Situated 15 miles north-west of Manchester city centre, Bolton has been a little overshadowed in recent times despite having a lot to offer.
Much of its visitors arrive on business, but enjoy some of the local treats while they're here and make repeat visits with friends and family.
Here are just some of the reasons why people visit Bolton.
BOLTON WANDERERS Football may not be for everyone, but there are many people who'd love nothing more than taking in a Premier League match at the Reebok Stadium.
One of seven north west teams in the top flight of the English game, football is one of the top reasons people are attracted to the region.
ENTERTAINMENT Many may know of Bolton's Albert Halls thanks to Peter Kay's now legendary live tour DVD, which hosts many other fantastic shows each year.
But you'll also find great nights out elsewhere, with plays at the Octagon Theatre and concerts at the aforementioned Reebok Stadium.
SHOPPING While Bolton City Centre offers a plethora of shops, you may find the Horwich-based Middlebrook Retail Park more suited to your needs.
With clothing, food, electronics and every other kind of retail experience here - including a cinema complex - it's your one-stop shop for all your retail needs.
BOLTON MUSEUM, ART GALLERY AND AQUARIUM Particularly famous for its staggering Egyptology Gallery, featuring a 3,000 year old mummy and stone columns from the ancient city of Heracleopolis, and collection of 18th, 19th and 20th century watercolours and other works, this local attraction should be high up on your To Do list.
The aquarium is also home to a wide range of tropical fish and a breeding ground for endangered species.
ANIMAL WORLD AND BUTTERFLY HOUSE A wonderful living environment for a vast variety of animals and birds, from farmyard to wildfowl and tropical, this is a great day out.
You'll also find insects, spiders, reptiles and tropical plants, while in Moss Bank Park during summer weekends you'll find a miniature steam railway.
If you're looking for Bolton accommodation, there are a number of good places to stay in and around the city.
So why not plan a journey and pick out a Bolton hotel today?
