The mechanics

DSC_2684The centre of of all that is theatrical in Burnley is the Mechanics Theatre, an extension to the town hall The Mechanics has played host to the likes of The Chuckle Brothers and countless comedians such as Mark Watson and Lenny Henry.

This May it’s also host to Burnley Blues Festival, a must see event in the town.Big blue names are attracted to the even each year and play at a number of venues across the town but most prominantly The Mechanics. Here’s the kind of fun to expect from the event!

Tickets prices and availability for shows at the Mechanics are obviously relative to who is playing, smaller plays and comedians will as expected sell less tickets, so buying a ticket on the day for such shows is possible, but for bigger attractions such as The Chuckle Brothers and big cover bands like The Clone Roses will be sold out weeks in advance.

Once you’ve picked the show the rest is all about getting here, parking and where to stay I’ve touched on in earlier posts, but if you don’t feel like scanning through them then here is a little map for some help.
