Brindley Place highlights

One of the most popular spots in Brindley Place is the Crescent Theatre. This multiple-venue theatre features 4 different stages: the Main House, Ron Barber Studio, the Bar and Roma's Room. The Main House is the largest, but it only has room for 340 people, so you'll always be in for an intimate theatre experience.

You may also want to stop by the Ikon Gallery. This museum of contemporary art offers incredible works made using a wide variety of different mediums and includes paintings, sculptures, photos and unique sound exhibits. The exhibitions are regularly rotated, so you can expect something new on subsequent visits.

Good to know when visiting Brindley Place

While Brindley Place certainly has plenty to see and do, it's important to remember that most of the buildings are office buildings with nothing to offer travellers other than an appealing exterior aesthetic. The bulk of the shops and restaurants will be centred around the Water's Edge area.

Given Brindley Place's location, you'll find quite a few additional attractions in the area. Across the canal, you can visit the Legoland Discovery Centre and the Utilita Arena. Alternatively, you can head northeast and reach the tranquil City Centre Gardens as well as Centenary Square.
