St Helens

Located midway between Liverpool and Manchester, St Helens is a good base from which to explore the whole of the North West and beyond.

The biggest St Helens attraction in every sense is Dream - the iconic 20-metre high internationally significant artwork by artist Jaume Plensa, situated on top of Sutton Manor overlooking the M62.

Sports enthusiasts can experience the excitement of premier year-round horseracing at Haydock Park Racecourse or enjoy action-packed rugby at the home of the most successful side in Super League history, Saints.

Discover the borough's unique heritage at the multi-award winning attraction The World of Glass, or visit the fascinating North West Museum of Road Transport with its extensive collection of vintage road vehicles.

Those looking for a more cultural experience can take in a performance at the Theatre Royal or visit the Citadel Arts Centre, voted by the Independent as one of the UK's top 10 jazz and blues venues.

In St Helens town centre, special events take place throughout the year. The town centre benefits from a great range of high street stores and independent shops, quality restaurants, pubs and bars.
