Blackburn’s premier performance space is the cavernous Neoclassical King George’s Hall, named for George V who laid the foundation stone in 1910. Construction was interrupted by the First World War, and the 3,500-seater theatre was officially opened in 1921. If you find yourself on Northgate, the building is worth a look even if you’re just passing by. The Blakey Moor front has four pairs of Corinthian columns over an arcade. Inside is that immense main hall and the smaller Windsor Suite. Given the size of the venue, King George’s Hall makes some big-name bookings for comedy, live music, celebrity speakers, dance, as well as children’s shows. Highlights of 2018-19 are comedians Sarah Millican, Dara Ó Briain and Joanna Lumley, and live music ranging from Jake Bugg to the BBC Philharmonic.
