Hello guys...
As asked, I have created a post about Bolton itself and the surrounding areas.
Bolton is such a friendly town, close to both cities Manchester and Liverpool and puts entertainment and shopping right at your doorstep.
There are plenty of bars/clubs/restaurants/cafe's for everyone's tastes and regular free live music events and student nights are on offer at many venues. There are two indoor shopping malls in Bolton, Crompton place featuring Primark and Boots and the Marketplace Shopping Centre featuring Topman, River Island and Zara (possibly my three favourite!). Then there is the rest of the town surrounding the central Town Hall where you can find Marks and Spencer's, Wilko's and all your bargain madness shops! (Great thing for a student!)
Also, near to the town hall, is the Museum, Library and Octagon Theatre. The Octagon Theatre holds a variety and range of performances suited for all members of the community and the Museum is a great place to go for a look around. The Museum hosts a variety of exhibitions and also has a mini aquarium inside.
Bolton has excellent motorway and rail links to major cities. The Lake District, West Pennine Moors and the Yorkshire Dales are within easy reach, and the bright lights of Blackpool are only an hour away! Bolton train station is situated just a few minutes walk from the town centre!
The region is particularly good for watching live sport, with the excellent Reebok Stadium, home to the Bolton Wanderers football team. Bolton Arena is the Regional Tennis Centre and hosts national tennis events. International cricket is in nearby Manchester, while for rugby league supporters, Wigan is just up the road.If you would like more information on Bolton's location and amenities, please see - www.visitbolton.com
