Creative entertainment in Manchester

“Sam is the most amazing addition to your wedding. Having entertainment as fun and as engaging as this is the best thing you will ever do. No-one wants to be bored at a wedding, and Sam makes sure that no-one is. No matter what age, he entertained everyone during our day. Sam was responsive throughout the booking process, and so flexible when (covid wedding) we delayed. He was so easy to work with, and like one of the guests during our day! We didn't want him to leave at the end of the night!”

“The best acting class around - Dan is a brilliant teacher who gives every student a huge amount of time and attention. He creates a space where it's possible to be vulnerable and encourages the best out of people with a great balance of passion for acting and compassion for each individual student.”

“I have done several escape rooms before but this company has the best attention to detail and it is the most fun room I've done before. We did the wild west room and some of the clues were so clever and really had us laughing while we were taking the part. And the girls I was with loved the cowboy accent of the team member looking after us. Would highly recommend for anyone looking gfor a more fun escape room experience or for families. Will definitely be back to try another!”

“We tried the "Space Evader" room as a family. It was different from other rooms we have tried as you just have to solve as many puzzles as you can in the 1 hour. Plenty of variety in the puzzles and a decent set layout. Staff were friendly and helpful. Price was quite reasonable compared to other places.”

“Love this bowling alley, always got good offers for drink and bowl deals (think we paid £13 for two games and two drinks). Plus the arcade is decent and not too expensive either. Good central location too as it's right next to the tram stop, Shudehill bus terminus and Manchester Victoria station.”

“Cannot fault this place. Room was perfect, spotless and had everything we needed - including an iron, hairdryer plus extras like bath robes. Breakfast each morning was lovely, lots of choice and fresh made. We had room on the 16th floor so night time was just beautiful. Nothing was a problem for staff who were chatty and friendly even when it was super busy. Would most definitely stay here again.”

“Highly recommended. Superb food and very helpful and friendly staff. We were seated right away, and the food we got was freshly cooked and tasty as anything. Highly recommend the Chicken and Bacon pancakes!”

“This is a smaller toy store than the ones I used to go to with my children but it has a massive selection of toys, condensed into the space perfectly. It's nice to be able to get in and out in minutes instead of hours. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and know exactly where everything is. 10/10 recommend.”

“The burger was so so so so mouthwatering I can't stop talking about it, the fries were absolutely perfect and I've never knew a milkshake could be so heavenly I want to cry after eating this meal, the staff were all on point and looked like they wanted to be there, safe to say my first 5 guys was perfect and I will definitely be coming back!”

“The food was good. But the waiters were fantastic. The place is very neat and decent and I'll recommend their milk shakes”

“An amazing place to bring your child(ren). Each class is different and fun. Becky and Loz do a fantastic job of bringing so much excitement, colourful props. Their cheerful and empathetic personality, makes you feel valued. Me and my girl always looked forward to the classes. Thank you for offering your services which are highly recommended. If you've got a child or children under 4 please do them a favour and bring them to toddler sense. It was the best thing I ever done to bring my girl here. She loved this placed and so did I! ❤️”

“Jeff was the star of the show (along with my daughter) on Sunday at Edie’s first birthday party. Jeff was absolutely brilliant and to top it off he is really lovely too. All the kids and adults loved him and have been raving about how good he was. I was busy at the party but Jeff made sure not to forget me, he made me a very cute flower corsage and Edie some balloons too. Highly recommend Jeff, we will definitely be using him again! Thanks Jeff!”

“We have just finished our first term of Adventure Babies with Hannah and it has easily become our favourite class. Hannah is so creative with the props for class, and she does a brilliant job at engaging all the babies and parents. It's just such a lovely group to go to, and we look forward to it every Tuesday. Looking forward to another term coming up for more adventures!”

“My daughter has been coming to the junior drama class for a couple of years and she absolutely loves it. She has come out of her shell and has made lots of new friends”

“Great experience as always. The bar staff and bouncers are all excellent and the prices are more than respectable all the way through the week. Definitely recommend Ark for a quality night out with mates. 5/5”

“Right in the heart of Manchester. Definitely a bit of me!”

“Amazing Staff. My son has been going here now for 1year+. Chole and the Nursery Team always go the extra mile in understanding your needs and they provide amazing support and services MY son will be here until he graduates Thank you all”

“Currently studying a Games Design course here and thoroughly enjoying it. The college have well equipped facilities with plenty of custom built PC's (rocking Intel i7 processors, 32GB of RAM and NVIDIA GTX 1060's, built by Overclockers UK) and graphic software such as Autodesk Maya, Sculptris, Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom and Illustrator, plus much more. The main tutor for the games design course, Guy Bramwell-Smith is welcoming and approachable, well knowledged, resourceful, incredibly patient (regarding the younger rowdy 16 year old students) and most importantly, knows very well what he's talking about! The admin staff are helpful with enquiries and friendly to approach. My course mainly consists of sixteen year old students, but they have made sure to try accommodate older students, such as myself, in order to diversify the age range, so most young adults still feel in place. A great place to study, friendly staff, resourceful and open, would highly recommend Access Creative College.”

“Lovely open plan nursery. Staff welcoming and knowledgeable. Children were happy and enjoying the activities.”

“We chose Circus Sensible for our Company Away Day on 14 Sept. 2022 in Oxford. Their experience in running this sort of events helped a lot with the timing of the various workshops. I'd recommend to go very precisely through the space needed for all the workshops, we had 2 indoors and 4 outside. The "office" team made the organising process really easy. The event itself went like clockwork: professional artists, fun, engaging, well briefed on safety and on the objectives of the event.”

“My 10 year old daughter has been attending Parsely Pie for some time now and looks forward to and enjoys her weekly class immensely ! Jenny offers the children amazing support and nurture’s their creativity and ideas wholeheartedly with a variety of media for them to explore ! Without hesitation I would recommend Parsley Pie Art Classes to any parent with a child who has an interest in art !”

“My little boy attended this setting from the age of 2 up until he left for school last year. The staff were all extremely caring for him and brought on his confidence. He loved coming to nursery and was always happy to see his friends and all the staff”

“Both of my boys are at Juice and it is a happy, caring and warm environment and they really enjoy coming to nursery. My eldest boy has some special needs and they have been fantastically supportive with this. I cannot recommend them highly enough. It is true that parking is sometimes an issue but as a previous reviewer has said it is difficult to see what the nursery can realistically do about the small minority of parents who do not park considerately. Most of the time parking is fine and I can honestly say I have not had any serious problem in four years of parking there twice a day (not using residents' spaces I might add).”

“Freddie Fantastic made Jacob feel amazing at his party today! It was 2 hours of non-stop fun and games. Freddie must have been exhausted - Jacob certainly was. A truly hassle free party and all kids loved it. The way he encouraged the shy children to join it was like magic itself and they were joining in in no time! Highly recommend and Thank you Freddie.”

“Great place to live with great concierge staff, always super helpful with packages and questions. And they always say hello and smile which is nice. the night security staff are also very nice and welcoming; and will still help out with issues if they can”

“Excellent Nursery, excellent staff , fantastic facilities , particularly the outdoor areas, would recommend to everyone.”

“We sent our daughter went to C4M Ashton over 10 years ago. She loved it, so I booked our son in after the pandemic because he'd not mixed at all. He loves it now and has settled in nicely. I know the owners, managers and staff are passionate about providing fab childcare.”
