Another year has flown by and it's almost 2022.

After a dismal 2020 which saw sporting events, gigs, plays and pantos cancelled, at least this year we've been able to get out and about a bit, courtesy of the Covid vaccines.

So what better way to round off your year than seeing one, or more, of the upcoming performances at some of the venues around the North West.
