I love Bolton because it's a diverse, creative inspirational place to live, work and play.

Jonathan

I love Bolton because it has heart and industry, it has Dibnah and Kay, it has rural and urban, it has the finest market and the oddest accent.

Tina Anobile

It's such a diverse place. Many different shops available and everybody is always smiling and with the investment into the town itself, it's massively improving and bringing people back to the great town of Bolton. The different world sports stars we have produced and the sports clubs including our beloved Bolton Wanderers FC :)

Scott

I love Bolton because it is the place of my birth. I have had many lovely conversations with complete strangers because that's the kind of friendly people you come across everywhere you go. Natural beauty is on our doorstep.

Nafisa

Even though I’ve travelled the world as a teacher, & I live in Victoria, BC, now, Bolton is where my roots are & it’s always been ‘home’. My Bolton born grandfather became quite a well known opera singer, Flintoff Moore (his stage name), travelling to the USA in the 1920s to sing. I love Bolton & all my family living there today.

Barbara Kelly Moorhouse

We have everything here! A beautiful, clean, picturesque landscape surrounding the town, a wonderful historic Victorian Terrace on Le Mans Crescent and plethora of shops to choose from. We are friendly, welcoming and host a fabulous Food & Drink Festival! I love exploring Bolton.

Jennie Sharples

Despite being new to Bolton, I have never met a bunch of people more friendly and welcoming. I love the character, sense of humour and I am proud to work in a place that is striving for a greater future for everyone.

Laura Fenton

It has some beautiful buildings, despite many empty units below some of them. Its beautiful countryside and choice of walks and cycle paths is huge. It has always had a good amount of music venues, entertainment and nightlife, this has now dwindled in the last 20 years, I hope that this will be boosted again with the new plans.

Sarah Morgan

Bolton is Positive, Because It Cares, Because Bolton Includes Everyone and Never says No!

Shaheed

I love Bolton because of the excellent events hosted in Bolton for all ages throughout the year!

Chemane

Because this is where I was born, have grown up, made friends, started my own family and made special memories. Bolton is surrounded by beautiful countryside that is only a 10 minute drive out of the town centre.

Kelly Burke

It welcomed me when I came to work here, it’s a great diverse opinionated, caring community that has a fabulous identity, and really embraces outsiders as part of the big Bolton family!

Bernie Brown

I love Bolton because I can walk on the moors with my husband and my dog.

Sharon Bleackley

Despite its problems, which many northern towns have, due to government funding cuts, Bolton is still a nice place to live.

Teresa

We are a diverse and friendly community, we care about each other and are proud of our town.

Wirin Bhatiani

I love Bolton because of its wildlife on our doorstep and its vast country parks and nature reserves.

Christopher Banks

I love all the shops that aren't high street chains because they're what really makes a town, I live in Bury but I love visiting Bolton just for those characteristic and one of a kind shops. In the age where chains are getting bigger and family run businesses are becoming less and less frequent it's nice to know that Bolton still has character!

Hollie

Bolton is where I found my roots. Life wasn't great, but I came here and met my wife, had my three beautiful daughters and made a life for myself.

Matthew Barnes

I work at Royal Bolton Hospital and I love my job very much.

Toni

I live here, work here, shop here, and I am a proud Boltonian who isn't afraid to say so.
