Bridgewater Hall

Situated on an arm of the Bridgewater Canal, the world-class Â?42-million concert venue Bridgewater Hall holds over 250 performances a year and is home to one of Britain's longest-running orchestras, the Hall?© Orchestra. This architecturally striking building can house just under 2,500 audience members and the main auditorium is centred around a remarkable 5,500-pipe organ. The Hall plays host not only to classical music, but has also seen a range of popular music artists such as the legendary James Brown, indie artist Badly Drawn Boy and guitarist John Williams. Bridgewater Hall is also home to the award-winning Charles Hall?© restaurant, as well as the Stalls Caf?© Bar.
