Experience England's Northwest...

There’s always a buzz in England’s Northwest, and the spring time welcomes a fantastic variety of outdoor events. Sample delicious foods from the stalls at Chester’s Food, Drink and Lifestyle Festival, or visit the Lakes Alive events which include a harbour-based festival in Whitehaven, an extravaganza of sound, light and fire signals with Bombs Per Minute in Maryport or see Mintfest – one of the UK's leading international street arts festivals in Kendal. You can relish the opportunity to enjoy ‘Picasso: Peace and Freedom’, the first exhibition to explore the post-war period of the artist’s life at Tate Liverpool. Or, visit Queer up North in Manchester – a vibrant festival that embraces every conceivable art form from hip hop to puppetry and everything in between. From Lancashire and Cumbria’s magnificent countryside, to Cheshire’s rich history and the vibrant cities of Liverpool and Manchester, you’ll never be short of enjoyable days out in the Northwest.
