    A horse, a horse. My kingdom for a horse. That sounds like a fair swap to me but there again my…read morekingdom probably consists of empty wine bottles, a few classy furniture pieces and some mouldy socks. I'll take a Cheltenham winner for that any day. Or if I'm not to take it so literally it just means that it's time for the theatre. Harrogate Theatre has got some serious history too. It opened in 1900 and has obviously gone through various closures and refurbishments since then. It still oozes a lavish and deluxe feel to it though. It's a super auditorium and attracts some stellar plays and performances. It's especially good for attracting superb comedy and sean Lock, Rory Bremner and Katy Brand are all visiting in the upcoming months. If that doesn't impress you then check out who have trod the boards in the past; Trevor Howard, Charlie Chaplin, Sarah Bernhardt, Arnold Ridley, Brian Murphy, Kate O'Mara, Martin Shaw, John Noakes and Ben Kingsley. Now if that doesn't impress you much, you must be Shania Twain. You don't always need to look at the obvious attraction of the West Yorkshire Playhouse, go explore a little and get to Harrogate Theatre.

    This place brings a bit of culture to Harrogate. While it's small, it's intimate, and the staff are…read moreapproachable and helpful. The interior is suitably baroque, and you almost feel transported back in time when you're here. I have fond memories of seeing shows here as a small child with my parents.

    The Mart Theatre - It really is a performance space to dream of. You just can't connect with an audience in the same way with prosc arch (darling)

    If you want an unusual venue, with a relaxed atmosphere then this is the place foryou. We have been…read moreto see the comedians Andy Parsons, and Dave Spikey which were both a joy. Easy and plentiful parking, clean inside, large bar area with seating. Serving bottled beers wines etc. Well organised and a friendly venue. You are seated in the cattle ring which has a stage area and concreted floor. Dress up or dress down, but remember this is a working auction market so the seats are a little hard if you don't have much padding!! The fact that this is an auction ring only adds to the fun of being there!! Reasonably priced tickets, proffessional lighting and sound and a fantastic atmosphere. We could not fault it. Enjoy.

You should check this place out for a great value night out. After all there really is nothing like this theatre, don't be put off that it is used for a cattle market by day it adds to the experience and is just like a standard theatre at night, expert lighting and such a lovely relaxed ambience. Great mixed crowd of young and old, big thumbs up! Very professional, fun, great value for money. We watched a comedy show Clever Peter they were spot on and Horse & Lois too. Fantastic night out cannot recommend this place enough!

    The Mart Theatre - That over there in the corner is the sound and lighting box because, yes, it really does double as a theatre

    I'm about to get very giddy now. I'm like a child at Christmas because I'm about to talk about my…read moresecret love affair...film. When talking about cinematic experiences in the North, let alone the area, one has to shout loud and proud about the IMAX. The IMAX is part of the National Media Museum but deserves it's own proud place in our ever beautiful Yelp listings. It is only one of a handful of IMAX cinemas in the world and it's ours. Go on do a little dance for me, go on. What you get is some unbelievable moments of 3D documentaries and films and also 2D is pretty hot on the massive screen. For me though you have to utilise all of its strengths so definitely check out a 3D option. Especially with the current trend of making everything for the 3D market, you'll soon be spoilt for choice. One of the last Hollywood blockbusters to show there was the last Harry Potter film but I'm more than a little giddy that Alice in Wonderland is next up. I'm so excited about that one that I may need to section myself, sedate myself or run head first into a door. Johnny Depp in 3D and at that size!?! What is not to die happy about? It does get booked up well in advance so make sure you book online or at the museum if you have a specific time in mind. This is how film should be watched, so do yourself a favour and enjoy it to the (I)max. See what I did there, aren't I clever.

    The IMAX screen has to be experienced to be believed - it really is MASSIVE, and coupled with the…read morefantastic surround sound system and highly ramped seating, you are guaranteed a good view even if an extremely tall man decides to sit in the seat in front of you (don't they always!) I wouldn't actually recommend your first film is one of the IMAX specials such as to fly and dinosaurs etc as they are quite expensive and also very short (usually about half an hour to three quarters of an hour). Much better would be to see a 'proper' film in it's IMAX version - although only a small percentage of films are shot in IMAX, they really do take your breath away. The Dark Knight has some fantastic IMAX scenes, and at Christmas you really, really HAVE to watch The Polar Express at the IMAX and in 3D too! Oh yes, the IMAX is capable of 3D! It's not your average 3D too, it's actually in-your-face, amazing and quite brilliant 3D! We saw the latest Harry Potter at the IMAX, and even though only some of the scenes were in 3D, the end fight with all the magic and explosions was truly breathtaking. My only quibble would be if you are taking young children to watch a 3D IMAX film, they may be a bit overawed by it all and refuse to put on their glasses which will leave them watching them a blurred image which they'll quickly grow bored of (it happened to one of our party) - but otherwise it's a great experience! Definitely a jewel in Bradford!
