Plymouth is the city that shaped lives of Drake, Darwin, and many more who set sail from the harbour with a burning spirit of discovery.
Today, the maritime heritage has blended with contemporary culture to create a city with a strong international tradition offering the best in entertainment, nightlife and shopping.
Plymouth has a rapidly developing music and comedy scene focused on the Plymouth Pavilions - a multi-million pound complex attracting many top productions and bands - and smaller venues hosting a wealth of up-and-coming local talent.
