Activities in Manchester

“It was my first escape room and it was really fun. Our host Sham and all the other staff was super nice and helpful. We got guided through the escape room and eventually managed to solve it with a little help. 10/10 experience would definitely recommend. We did the blackbeard's treasure room, but i'm sure the other ones are fun as well”

“Lloyd was a great host and the escape room was top notch. Went for my sons 11th birthday and we played the scare floor one (great for Monsters Inc fans). Really well set up, some tricky puzzles and Lloyd shouts up when you are going in the wrong direction.. definitely recommend.”

“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 amazing!! Highly recommended, children loved their balloons. Thanks again! :)”

“Adventure babies has been fantastic! Our daughter has thoroughly loved them (as have I), and this is by far the best parent and baby class we have been to. Really well thought through and executed sessions, With fantastic toys and accessories, always tailored to that weeks book. Cannot recommend these sessions and Hannah (who organises them) more highly, and we have already signed up for the next term!”

“Professor Fehily is one of the most honest and compassionate people I have ever met, he has given me my life back and I will always be in his debt. A massive thank you to the whole team at Spire Manchester, and if you are unfortunate to ever need a hip replacement at 36 like me, please give Max and his team a call. Thank you all.”

“I can honestly say this school feels like a second home. From the very first day, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the teachers made it easy to settle in. They really care, not just about grades, but about each student as a person. What I appreciate most is the sense of community – you don’t just come here to learn, you also feel supported, listened to, and encouraged to grow. It’s a place where children can learn home from home. The classrooms are bright and full of energy, and there’s always someone ready to help if you’re struggling. The school brings families together too, with events and activities that make you feel like you belong to something bigger. Whether it’s academics, creativity, or just finding your confidence, this school gives every student the chance to shine. It’s more than just a school – it’s a community. Anna was amazing helping us all the way through. Thank you”

“A great bjj gym with friendly members and excellent coaches. Would recommend for people looking for gyms in Manchester, whether they’re beginners or experienced.”

“As a new golfer, I first went to Richard for a club fitting. I was immediately impressed by the data analysis he presented to me after I tested a number of different brands and models of irons. This allowed us to make an informed decision when choosing the set to order. Once my set of irons arrived I initiated my first block of lessons at The Golf School. As anyone will know who plays golf, there are so many elements to a golf swing but the highly technical launch monitors, camera systems and teaching aids that Richard uses at his facility really help you to understand your swing and see the impact when you make changes. When things don’t go so well you can more easily identify which area you need to work on too. The indoor facilities allow you to continue with lessons and practice no matter what the weather, enabling further improvement throughout the winter season when you might otherwise have not been out as much as you would have liked. Richard is a great communicator and he ensures you have a clear understanding of his teaching. He is informative and friendly and delivers his lessons in a relaxed environment. I am incredibly pleased with the progress I have made since having lessons with Richard and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their game technically but also psychologically.”

“Alison is very friendly and passionate in teaching, she is always energetic with big smiles to the children and parents. We are glad to see our daughter building up her confidence with facial expressions more confidently.”

“Can't recommend enough this baby sensory! Becky has been amazing in every aspect. My baby started when she was three months old . This week we had her 1 year old birthday party in the sensory area and it has been so great! Thank you for all the precious memories ❤️”

“Myself and my partner have been going to Susi's yoga class for a couple of months. We are complete beginners. The class is very relaxed and, informal, and Susi is great at giving instruction so you can follow her. She has a lovely calming presence and makes everyone feel welcome. I'm really impressed with her knowledge and skill of yoga. It has helped me sleep better too.”

“Chelsey was very friendly and seemed really invested in the welfare of our two guinea pigs, asking lots of questions about their likes and dislikes, as well as their behaviour. She did a great job cutting their nails and they seemed quite content when I picked them up. It was also nice to see photos of them on Facebook while we were away. Will definitely return!”

“Gary is a fantastic dogwalker! He has really taken the time to get to know our Whippet (Otis) and has built a great relationship with him. Our dog loves going on the long walks Gary provides (rain or shine). Gary is very reliable, trustworthy and communicative and clearly loves his job based on the time and effort he puts in. Would not hesitate to recommend Gary for anyone considering someone to walk or look after their pup.”

“Being a remortgage and being in our senior years we found the whole process quite daunting, but Phil guided us perfectly. He was really helpful both on the phone and by email and explained it all with professionalism. We were very grateful that he was representing us.”

“Can not recommend Puddle Ducks enough. Made to feel so welcome, super friendly staff and a lovely set up! Highly highly recommend! X”

“Fantastic service from Active Repairs. Our Mercedes C Class went it for Nox sensor issue. Jalal identify the problem straight away and fixed within a day. The car is running smooth now, thank you very much.”

“Nestled in the bustling heart of Manchester Arndale at Unit R3, Halle Place, Market Street (M4 3AQ), Immersive Gamebox transforms a compact room into a high-octane augmented reality playground. This isn't your standard arcade—don lightweight motion-sensing visors, and suddenly, walls pulse with interactive projections, surround sound engulfs you, and every gesture controls the action. Games like Shaun the Sheep's Mossy Bottom Championsheeps or Angry Birds pit teams against puzzles, races, and battles, all in 60-minute bursts of collaborative chaos. For kids' parties around age 8, it's an absolute winner. Tailored for ages 8+, these experiences demand no prior gaming skills—just enthusiasm and movement. My group of eight-year-olds squealed through sheep-herding mini-games and alien invasions, their energy perfectly matched by the physical, team-based fun that builds camaraderie without screens glued to faces. Private boxes for 2-6 players (multiple for larger parties) mean no strangers crashing the vibe, and dedicated birthday packages add pizza, fries, and unlimited squash in a post-game lounge—pure party fuel for £20-£30 per child.”

“FANTASTIC! I have been suffering from back pain for 5 years due to an L4 disc bulge. I was in a lot of pain for the past 4 weeks and visited two physiotherapists and one chiropractor, with no results at all. My colleagues introduced me to this place yesterday and said that everyone calls him the “Jesus Christ of back pain.” After only one treatment, I can confirm that this is absolutely true. I was extremely impressed with the treatment I received. This is the best back clinic—I highly recommend it to anyone with back pain.”

“Really good results. I’d had physio previously as I hadn’t been able to turn my head to the right for months and my neck was so sore. Stolios was really clear it would improve, would need 4/5 sessions and that doing the exercises was essential to recovery. After 2 weeks I was starting to doubt. By week 3 there was good progress, 4 sessions and we were done. Clear instructions to keep up the exercises. Seriously, life changing. Significantly reduced pain, and 90% + mobility. Thank you!”

“We absolutely adore Siân's SEN Holiday Forest School Sessions. We joined in the summer of 2023 and quickly fell in love with the holiday sessions. It can be quite challenging when our usual group activities come to a halt, as our entire family thrives on structure and routine. Our daughter has an immense passion for the outdoors and revels in any messy or sensory play. If it were up to her, she'd make the great outdoors her permanent home! Right from day one, Sian extended a warm welcome and dedicated time to truly understand how our daughter prefers to engage. She has patiently built a strong connection with our daughter at her own pace. The activities provided are nothing short of amazing, especially for our daughter, who immerses herself fully in sensory experiences (as you can see in the photos!). Furthermore, the lunch and snacks offered here are fantastic. Our daughter can be quite particular about her safe and unsafe foods, but every visit here has her enjoying the delicious lunch provided. We sincerely appreciate the tremendous effort you put into creating safe and nurturing environments for children with special educational needs. ❤️”

“Early inspirations is an absolute amazing nursery. My daughter is 2 years old and she has settled in that nursery very well. The daily activities help to develop my daughter's learning and I have seen a massive improvement in my daughter's understanding and learning development. Thanks to the staff, everyone there are soo friendly and helpful, I like this nursery very much. I appreciate all the hard work the staff go through Thank you”

“I can't recommend the Doggie House highly enough, everyone is fantastic they really care and love all the dogs that go. We lost our dog in December she had been going to the Doggie house for 8years or so, our new girl wolfie is now going and I know when I leave her she is haveing a great play time. I would definitely recommend the Doggie house.”

“Awesome customer service! Didn't have what I wanted on the day so they ordered it for me and sent it to my home with no postal charge.”

“We played Space Evaders and Ellen was our host. She explained the game well and only gave clues when we really needed them which was great. The game itself was really fun, we did it as a team of 4 and there was plenty for each of us to do. We've played many escape rooms before and this room offered a loads of puzzles and with varying difficulty, so something for everyone. Would recommend!”

“We did the Dark Ages and it was brilliant! We found it challenging all the way though! Olivia was amazing and very friendly! Highly recommend”

“Great old school gym. Friendly atmosphere.”

“Great gym, great people and a great atmosphere! Lessons catered for beginners with no previous experience all the way up to active fighters! If you’re looking for a fun way to get fit whilst learning new, effective combat techniques then look no further! City Centre location with classes starting from 17:30pm onwards so it won’t mess with your work hours!”

“A great gym for all levels, with some really high level players here. I was welcomed by Kam, who is a down to earth, approachable coach, with a fantastic teaching style that makes martial arts accessible for everyone.”

“Couldn’t recommend Alex, one of the dentists who performed a root canal on a tooth causing agony before. He was excellent not only sorting the pain / issue but also in his communication and care. Thanks Manchester Dental and Alex!”
