The 30 Best Community spaces 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”

“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!”

“My daughter has been going to Space Station since she was 14 months old. She has been very happy in all the rooms from babies through to Waddlers and Toddlers. She loves playing and dancing with her little friends and the staff make a really big effort with lots of great activities and themed weeks. Kim - the manager - is always very responsive, helpful and accommodating and was from our very first visit to look around. My daughter used reusable nappies and staff were happy to accommodate these too. I would definitely recommend Space Station!”

“Recommended to me through a friend, Matt and Alison were extremely helpful at every stage of the process, providing transparent and extremely good advice on mortgages and more. As a first time buyer, it can be a lot to get your head around. Having a good mortgage advisor such as CMS definitely made the process less stressful and more manageable. I would recommend them to any of my family or friends.”

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

“What a find. I was out for an appointment, and was early. We spotted this place, unassuming. We were greeted and seated. The breakfast was cooked from scratch fresh. No preparation, out of fridge to be cooked The value was excellent. Also I could help that community in a small way. If was in my home town would be a regular.”

“I have attended the Zumba classes here. The instructor was a breath of fresh air, great vibes and amazing workout.”

“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. ❤️”

“Absolutely over the moon with my latest bouquets. Every time I've bought flowers from Blooms, I have not been disappointed. They are beautiful, fresh and last. I made a specific request for roses recently and was not disappointed. Blooms went over and above to fulfil my order. Much appreciated. Thank you”

“First time visit last night..what a treat!! Authentic Ethiopian dishes (meat and vegetarian) and freshly ground Ethiopian coffee. So friendly and shared stories of coffee ceremony. Will be back!”

“These offices are a great work space, very modern, professional and beautifully maintained - we love working here. The Pure team are extremely easy to deal with, supportive and efficient - meaning we can focus on our business rather than managing office space - as a small business this is really important. Car parking and location are also excellent. We moved here from a previous managed serviced office business and it's one of the best decisions we've made. We'd highly recommend Pure.”

“Beautiful place to pray, very friendly people”

“Good community centre, excellent coffee morning each month,line dancing and music and movement weekly plus children's dance classes”

“Attended a wedding here today. Was lovely set up, food was delightful. All staff with smiles on there face. Service was great. Venue was AMAZING.”

“We are part of the Spanish church who worship every Sunday there, always is great to be in!”

“Attended Mini Maestro baby class. Highly recommended”

“I send my chn to this school and it's really good.My chn say it's a fantastic school so I would recommend this school.”

“An absolute godsend! We spent six weeks with Ronald McDonald after our son was born three months early. Rather than battle an hour of traffic every day, we got the opportunity to stay on site near him. My only complaints are about the other guests not cleaning up after themselves or spilling their food across the shared fridge. But I cannot fault the charity for the behaviour of its guests. I'll always be thankful to the team for making us feel welcome!”

“Stayed over in Manchester & found this little gem for breakfast/brunch. Ordered a large & small breakfast with tea & coffee included. Freshly cooked, although we were the only ones in, phone orders were coming in. Nice friendly lady cooking & serving. Worth a visit. Plenty of road side parking”

“Great to hire for a kids party and very good value for money However getting hold of the right person to book it is your biggest challenge my tip is call in when it's open and the number you need is in the kitchen area at the back”

“Fantastic community centre, with regular community events that are fun for the whole family. There is a great selection of community groups that use the centre, I'm sure you could find something of interest here.”

“Review of the Breakfast at Vita Student I’m genuinely impressed with the breakfast provided at Vita Student. Every weekday morning, students can enjoy a generous and varied buffet that includes cereals, sweet and savoury pastries, bagels, waffles, fresh fruits, yoghurt, salads, and a selection of cold meats and cheeses — all completely free of charge between 7am and 10am. It’s the perfect way to start the day: nutritious, well-balanced, and full of options. The quality and consistency of the breakfast really set Vita Student apart from other accommodations. Highly recommended! Amir Guemari”

“I came here for Japan week to see a theatre performance and it was fantastic. HOME is a nice theatre with a cinema as well, staff are friendly inside and the theatre is small but comfortable, good view of the stage.”

“Well designed building. Large open spaces inside of ground floor atrium with large lecture theaters. Smaller rooms around upper floors. Many with no windows may feel more constrained. Well planned external space and campus with a short walk to main campus.”

“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!”

“Had a impromptu lunch date at this cafe and it was wonderful! the atmosphere was relaxing and very welcoming. The staff are warm and helpful ,we had to a make dietary request and they accommodated it and it wasn't any bother. cafe is beautifully decorated and very comfortable, they have different types of chairs which was a life saver for my back! Absolutely loved the food , a little expensive I would say but definitely worth it , best BBQ chicken cheese toastie I've had and the salad that accompanied it was gorgeous. Just what was need on a hot day. I would definitely recommend this place !”

“Thank you for providing this hall for my sons first birthday. It was big enough to fit everyone in and the communication from the caretaker was great too, each time we had a question he was reachable on his phone. Will highly recommend.”

“- lovely staff members - so many events on! - love going to alkrington craft market there - good room to hire if you’re hosting an event”

“The Northmoor community,,, I will give full stars because I have been involved as student and volunteer. My experience with them was fruitful in all my way which I have been enriching my skills and knowledge, so the team is very kind and helpful to me. Thanks again for giving us the opportunity to be part of the community that gives us more information how to be a good citizen and be cooperative with each other.”

“Went for a walk in the wood. lovely walk not too long”
