The Bowdon Rooms is already gaining quite a reputation as a place to go for events and entertainment. Confidentials finds out more about the historic venue and what owners Edward and Anthony have in store for The Bowdon Rooms’ next chapter.

The Bowdon Rooms has always been a place for good times since it was built as Bowdon’s Assembly Rooms in 1903. Tell us about The Bowdon Rooms of today. What changes have you made to The Bowdon Rooms to bring it up to date?

"We have undertaken a full upgrade to the entire building. It really has been taken back to its former glory in every sense, but with every modern facility to make for a better customer experience and we’ve installed a fully digital sound and lighting package."

And also, which bits of history remain?

"When we embarked on the upgrades, we wanted to highlight and enhance the original features. We are so happy with the results."

Which concerts or shows should our readers be buying tickets for?
