Entertainment
In case you fancy a cosy night treat yourself to a plush cinema experience at the Everyman. Originally built in 1920 and lovingly protected by The Whiteladies Picture House Ltd to save it from becoming a gym.

Worth a visit! A vibrant market in a Georgian arcade offering a mix of independent stalls, tiny shops and food. Personal favourite spending 50p on Cherry Lips from Treasure Island Sweets. Worth popping into the Rummer Bar for a massive selection of gin too.
