Attractions

Bury is a short hop from Manchester city centre and home to plenty of great visitor attractions. 

Based in Bury town centre the beautifully restored East Lancashire Railway is a great family day out. Take a trip through the countryside to bustling towns and pretty villages or meet everyone’s favorite steam engine at ‘Days out with Thomas’ events held several times a year. For a touch of wartime nostalgia enjoy the 1940s weekend with battle re enactments, wartime weddings and concert parties.

Just across the road is the Bury Transport Museum and around the corner is the town’s innovative newcomer, Bury Sculpture Centre. Plus  hands on activities including arts and crafts sessions at Bury Art Museum.

Bury’s best known attractions is its award winning Bury Market. Not only about discovering bargains and excellent regional produce on the market’s hundreds of stalls, but a chance to experience the banter and atmosphere as the traders sell their wares.

Overlooking Ramsbottom, just 5 miles from Bury is the historic Peel Tower. Standing 128 feet high and the area’s most noticeable landmark built in honour of perhaps Burys’ most famous son Robert Peel.   

If you fancy some live entertainment then head for The Met, Burys award winning venue. Buzzing with live music, comedy and drama it is the place to catch up and coming acts and a fantastic mix of rock, jazz and blues from all over the country.
  
Winding its way from Bacup to Salford Quays, the Irwell Sculpture Trail features over 70 artworks by locally, nationally and internationally renowned artists. Extending over 33 miles through Salford, Bury and Rossendale, the trail is the largest sculpture route in the UK and makes a great free day out for all the family.
