Timeline
15:37
Reserve a table at Melenio for an early pre-theatre dinner. This cosy Italian spot is popular with locals heading to the Brindley, so booking ahead ensures you get a table while the evening light is still fading.
16:22
Walk to The Brindley Theatre as the sun sets toward the SW. The 5-minute stroll from Melenio in a WNW direction brings you to the award-winning arts centre in time to catch the final glow of the day on the canal-side building.
17:22
Stay for a show. The Brindley hosts everything from stand up comedy to musicals and film showings, making it the perfect anchor for your evening.
18:22
Return to Melenio for a late drink or digestif. If you need a change of scenery, the nearby Society Ltd bar offers a contemporary vibe under the railway arches, but Melenio remains the most seamless extension of your dinner.
