In the Cultural Quarter, the Regent Theatre plays
host to the very best drama and musicals direct
from the West End, the Sugarmill is great for live
music and the Victoria Hall is a popular venue on
the comedy circuit.
In the Potteries Museum you can see the famous
Staffordshire Hoard, and get up close to a full size

take you to the Britannia Stadium to watch Premier

watch the latest films, play ten-pin bowling or brave
