Milton Keynes is a thriving cosmopolitan city providing entertainment for all tastes and all ages around the clock.

• Mix of pubs, wine bars and restaurants from city centre chic to country traditional.
• Arts, culture and music entertainment venues, attracting everything from rock to opera.
• Leisure activities – if you can think of it, you can probably do it somewhere in Milton Keynes!

Nightlife

Bustling by day, Milton Keynes really comes into its own at night with 3 superb focal points for nightlife:

• thehub:mk is a dynamic new development whose cosmopolitan Central Piazza with its pavement cafes, restaurants, bars and shops is a thriving city centre location.
• Located at the heart of the city, the Theatre District is a £30 million development where you’ll find a collection of bars and restaurants (and a theatre of course!) open into the early hours.
• A few minutes stroll away there’s Xscape, the ultimate entertainment destination, combining Europe’s largest indoor ‘real snow’ ski slope, indoor rock climbing wall, 16 screen multiplex cinema, family entertainment centre which includes ten pin bowling, health and fitness centre, nightclubs, bars, restaurants and cafes – all under one roof.

If you fancy a drink or meal out in a quiet pub, you’ll find a traditional local in the original villages that are within the city, or in a 15 minute drive, you can be in a country pub.

Arts and Culture

Opened in October 1999, the Milton Keynes Gallery (MKG) attracted an incredible 50,000 visitors in its first year. It’s now the region’s most exciting contemporary art gallery.

Milton Keynes also has one of the largest public sculpture collections in the UK, including works by Elisabeth Frink, Wendy Taylor, Ronald Rae – not forgetting Liz Leah’s infamous Concrete Cows!

The Milton Keynes Theatre hosts award-winning plays direct from London’s West End, the RSC, Moscow City Ballet and the Glyndebourne Touring Company. It’s little wonder it’s the most successful UK theatre outside of London.

Milton Keynes is not short of music venues either, from intimate venues like Cleo Laine and Johnny Dankworth’s internationally acclaimed “The Stables” to the Milton Keynes Bowl, a stadium venue that’s attracted some of the world’s biggest rock and pop stars.

Leisure Activities

Milton Keynes has always broken new ground in leisure and entertainment. In 1985 the city was chosen to be the site of UK’s first multiplex cinema.

If you fancy something a little more strenuous, try your hand in one of Milton Keynes’ 2 bowling alleys or go ice-skating, or karting at one of the UK’s longest race tracks.

If exploring history is your thing look no further than Bletchley Park, home to the famous Enigma codebreakers who changed the course of World War II.

Other attractions in the area include:

Woburn Abbey, Safari Park and Championship Golf Course, Silverstone motor racing circuit, Towcester racecourse and a host of National Trust properties including Claydon House and Stowe.
