“Smart Floral have done an amazing job to turn my wedding bouquet into the perfect keepsake. I wanted a way to keep my flowers as they were such a big part of the day and this is the most beautiful way ever. They were brilliant at keeping me up to date with the process and giving me all options and even helped arrange something extra with bridesmaids bouquets. I couldn't be happier with how this has turned out and I would highly recommend this to people for a beautiful keepsake. Thank you so much again x”

“Had a couple of tattoos with Stephen and a couple of piercings done with Amy! I have such a wonderful experience every time I go to the shop.. Everyone is so friendly and professional.. Can’t see myself going anywhere else for my tattoos or piercings.. I highly recommend!”

“Wish I could give a place 6 stars! Will be coming back here to get all future piercings. Had Val as my piercer and she was efficient, confident, and clearly extremely skilled as they were the smoothest and fastest piercings I've ever had done. She was also so so friendly. The studio was clean, really nicely lit, and the prices so good I've been telling anyone who will listen. I really recommend.”

“Thank you so much for the fabulous haircut and styling! The layers and blow dry have truly transformed my look, making me feel like a celebrity! I couldn't be happier with the amazing job you've done MRS. S. Many thanks x”

“CITY performed well, Bunny did great becoming the first to net over a hundred goals. Fugino played really well getting possession taking the ball up the wing and then putting some brilliant crosses in. However Bunny got the first goal but later, Fugi got a well deserved goal. A few near misses and two goals ruled offside seemed to take the heart out of Villa, and City ran amok.”

“A fantastic place to go to unwind and chill. An amazing range of different things to paint, while you eat great tasty food and drink the wonderful hot chocolate with all the trimmings. Great for those with kids during the holidays, but those with no little people its best to go during school time, you might the place to yourself like us for a while A+”

“A vibrant community of local artists working with pewter, clay, wood, metal, textiles, and more. Their studios are spread across two floors in a lovely bright historical building. There's a cafe on the ground floor, too! Whether you're looking for a gift, a new piece of jewellery, a plant pot, or simply a greeting card, you can find it here - and support local artists and crafts people!”

Thankyou to the MTA team for everything you have done for me!!!!!!”

“Thoroughly impressed! Our daughter has just finished her first term at the United Reform Church in Bramhall. Tutors are excellent and clearly very competent, they really seem able to engage the children and in the first term put on a 15-20min production where you could see all the children were having a blast. All the children remained engaged and all the parents were so proud! Highly recommend!”
