New City, Growing
Culture

From world-class sporting facilities and internationally acclaimed entertainment venues, to a diverse array of eateries and shopping opportunities, Milton Keynes offers a dazzling selection of places to visit and activities to experience.

The National Bowl hosts live music acts from the best in the business. A staple fixture in British pop, rock and rap history, “The Bowl” has featured landmark recorded concerts by the likes of Queen, Robbie Williams, Jay-Z and many more. If you want to watch sought after showbiz performers, then this famous venue is a must attend.

Out & About

But Milton Keynes’ dual heritage in culture and sports doesn’t stop there. The city is home to Red Bull’s Formula One Championship team, and you can peek behind the curtain with a Factory Tour, where you’ll witness F1 cars being tested, assembled and prepared for upcoming races. And of course, the revered Silverstone racetrack is just twenty minutes outside the city.

Perhaps you wish to partake in sports as well watch them. With 27 golf courses and a wealth of wooded cycling and running paths around Milton Keynes there’s more than enough variation for the ardent athlete to last the season. And that’s before we mention the Snozone, Europe’s biggest and best real snow indoor skiing venue.

If you’d like to experience the city in a lower gear, the Milton Keynes theatre exhibits plays from the very best of the West End and other respected UK touring productions, offering a rich programme of drama, comedy, musicals and more.

With a superb selection of 350 restaurants, countless boutiques and vast shopping centres, Milton Keynes boasts an endless choice of leisure.
