Friar Street and New Street
Friar Street and New Street, with their timber framed buildings, have the city's most characterful pubs and bars. They suit the start of an evening.

Theatre and live music
The Swan Theatre brings drama and touring shows, and Huntingdon Hall, in a former chapel, brings music and comedy. An evening built around a show is calmer than a night on the bars.

Getting home safely, and planning around a booking
Use a licensed taxi from a rank or booked in advance, check the badge and the plate, and share the journey with a friend. If your night is built around an appointment, allow extra time and keep your phone charged. As everywhere on the site, this guide is for adults aged 18 and over.
