Creative inspiration in Bolton

“Hobbycraft as always is a welcoming place. I was with a friend today so actually resisted buying anything (which was really hard!!) I can spend hours just walking around and getting ideas for things to make. I usually buy fat quarters to make Christmas baubles...see pictures attached.”

“My little girl has been attending the classes for a few weeks now and absolutely loves it! Love that the classes are small so not so daunting for the little ones! Laura and Sean are fab! Love hearing them singing and acting as I'm picking up! Highly recommended!”

“Brilliant dance studio for girls and boys of all ages. Miss Teresa has worked hard throughout lock down to engage children and adults alike through zoom sessions. So glad to be back in the studio!”

“Our receptionist Dorothy is doing an amazing job looking after us and the building. Couldn't ask for a better person to do the job”

“My second visit to Odin’s and the experience was twice as good as the first time. The shop is immaculate and the staff so so amazing. I was so lucky to have Ewelina do both of my tattoos and she killed it both times. I think artists like her are so hard to find. She has a real skill for producing detailed, intricate designs and I think in the tattoo world that is so rare. Combining her extensive knowledge in both the tattoo and brow game makes her the ultimate double threat. I will not go elsewhere from now on! Can’t recommend enough!”

“Gavin is a great tattooist and artist. You can see his passion for his work, very professional and he is a friendly guy too. Definitely worth visiting for a tattoo at his studio.”

“Amazing cool studio, very clean and professional. Excellent consultation and artistic production of my potential tattoo. Lou was really easy to spend time with and I’m made up with the finished product. Great value for money as this guy delivers a quality tattoo. I will not go anywhere else from now on.”

“Couldn’t be any happier with my experience here! Went in for my first tattoo and everyone made me feel comfortable. I absolutely adore the tattoo done by Shannon, who did such a good job in making me feel at ease! Also, left with two helix piercings done by Chris, who made getting a needle through your ear enjoyable and fairly painless while creating such a friendly, easygoing atmosphere. Such a good experience! Definitely recommend and will be back again!”

“I always go to Leo. He always keeps it professional as he always respects the customer as well as being open to changes in the design within reason. He is an overall nice guy who is passionate about his craft. For the other staff, they are always cracking jokes and checking in on you . Overall, it is a comforting environment. I never feel stressed as there is a lot to look at around the parlour to keep your mind occupied. In short , 10/10.”

“Norma is an absolute star when it comes to Disney and colourful tattoos. She listens to your ideas, creates fantastic designs and it's a pleasure going to the shop. Everyone welcomes you and you feel relaxed with the added bonus of having a laugh too. Wouldn't go anywhere else, the shop is located in a quieter area than others and has near by parking. Would recommend Stay Weird to anyone.”

“Lee is one of those artists that you'll wish you'd found sooner before getting inked. His work looks photographic if that's what you're after. He has done Dali work on my wife, Japanese work on her brother as well as H.R. Giger. The man's gonna go far and I'll be able to tell people I got my tattoo/s from the artist in the earlier days of his career. Plus he's a hard working family man so you know your hard earned cash is going towards supporting his family. If you think you need time to contemplate what to get, book in now because there's usually a long waiting list. He did the tattoo you see in one sitting. I mention this because sometimes tattooists can't be bothered filling in the tattoo same day as the outline. Badass tattoos come to those who wait..”

“The olive garden nursery is a fantastic setting for babies and young children. The staff are warm, friendly and caring! They really do go above and beyond to welcome all parents and most importantly, the children that they look after. The rooms are beautiful and very well equipped to ensure they promote a happy environment and a safe and secure place for the children to play and learn. I can’t recommend this nursery enough and guarantee that you won’t be disappointed if you send your child/children here.”

“Order large amounts once a week and food is always fab, all correct orders and piping hot. The Eggs are beautiful. The hot beef barms are to die for and I cannot recommend the salads enough. All excellent value”

“I go to CATS youth theatre and have since I was little. I know that everyone there absolutely loves what they do - the staff are so helpful, and you can always talk to them, and have a good laugh with them and it's an amazing place to be, and learn how to improve skills :)”

“I have always used Diddybox to purchase flower arrangements weather it be for celebrations, sympathy/ funerals, and they are amazing! Absolutely lovely family and fast, quality floral arrangements. Very helpful - and the best quality flowers for price!”

“Me, my wife and several friends have all had ink done here. I first got tattoos and piercings there many years ago but now it's just Mike and Bez, it's improved dramatically. Definitely my go to for any work. Great artists, great taste in music and just decent people. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Great work and reasonable prices.”

“Baby loves this place they are so friendly and offer lots if different things to do”

“The Pride of Bolton, both dining in and take out. Friendly, professional staff , amazing and immaculate place, tasty dishes and music to soothe the soul. Best shaworma in all of Bolton and stylish wrapped.No wonder this restaurant presents in my opinion as one of the best. I was greeted by the owner and served a sweet baclava, a real treat. A fusion between modern and classic turkish-lebanese culinary arts. What an amazing place!Among the few shaworma places that take card payments in Bolton!”

“All amazing artists, very nice tattoo studio, clean & friendly environment.”

“Great place for a wash, cut and blow dry. I loved my hair and my hairdresser was excellent.”

“Lovely nursery! Staff are lovely and really support! Great outdoor space for all ages. My daughter loves it there!”

“Very good work about the stuff very modern and luxury”

“Victoria is a real diamond. She has such a lively personality and real went the extra mile to make our day run as smoothly as possible. It's no surprise she has won awards for her work. Extremely passionate about providing the best service and it shows. Thank you Victoria!”

“Ad a few tattoos at rose thirteen & love them. Marsden your a top guy. would highly recommend anybody thinking of getting a tattoo to call in and see him”

“I have 3 daughters that all now attend the dance classes here ranging from 4 to 9 years old. Amazing dance teachers and professional dancers in their own right. I wouldn't take my girls anywhere else, they absolutely love it here. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.”

“Amazing dance academy. Daughter very happy. Excellent teaching. Superb performances. Various styles and ages. Well organised and friendly. Absolute bargain.”
