Canx Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I'm trying to find a 75th birthday present for my mum - we're thinking of a couple of days away, nice hotel, theatre/musical event, somewhere within only a couple of hours' travel from Sheffield - anyone got any good ideas? Not London, they find that a bit too busy nowadays. Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bloom Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I'm trying to find a 75th birthday present for my mum - we're thinking of a couple of days away, nice hotel, theatre/musical event, somewhere within only a couple of hours' travel from Sheffield - anyone got any good ideas? Not London, they find that a bit too busy nowadays. Thank you for your help. Buxton is really nice. There is the opera house there, with a variety of decent shows on throughout the year. It's pretty flat, pleasing to the eye, and a short distance to travel. If you check out the opera house online they used to link you to some good theatre and dine/accommodation packages.

scousemouse Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Liverpool, under two hours away, lots to see and do, and a lot of it free. York is another lovely city to visit, lots to see and do there also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cressida Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I was born in Buxton and though I moved away in childhood I do visit occasionally, another place I like is Matlock Bath, also Castleton isn't too far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bloom Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 How about a play and hotel in Harrogate? When I first read that, I thought it was some sort of 50 shades of grey package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canx Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Thanks for your suggestion, I'll take a look. ---------- Post added 10-03-2015 at 21:37 ---------- When I first read that, I thought it was some sort of 50 shades of grey package. Thanks Mecky - Mr Bloom, I don't know what you could mean! ---------- Post added 10-03-2015 at 21:40 ---------- Liverpool, under two hours away, lots to see and do, and a lot of it free. York is another lovely city to visit, lots to see and do there also. Yes, absolutely agree, I loved Liverpool when I worked there. I've been looking on Superbreak for a possible trip to see The Jersey Boys, I'm just now waiting for my sisters to confirm the joint budget to see if that's a possibility - the hotel/theatre tickets are an absolute steal, but the rail tickets - ouch! York - another good suggestion, I'll take a look at that tomorrow. Thanks for your help. ---------- Post added 10-03-2015 at 21:42 ---------- roller disco? You trying to kill 'em off?! You'll give 'em a heart attack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
