Bringing Burslem's theatre back to life
Ever since the statue to Motörhead frontman Lemmy was unveiled in the middle of Burslem, there’s been a real buzz around the mother town of Stoke.
There's been mini festivals in the Market Square, thousands of visitors from around the world coming to see the monument, and a Motörhead-themed bar opening its doors.

The historic Queen’s Theatre is being renovated and brought back to life as a 950-seat concert venue called Kilmister Halls.
