Creative arts in Manchester

“My son has been attending the Drama Mob for the past 5 years and absolutely loves it. He attends classes at Gatley but I know there are several locations around Manchester. The teachers create a really fun, learning environment and my son has had the opportunity to be involved in stage productions which has really developed his skills further. I would highly recommend the Drama Mob.”

“Our 8yo daughter attends Monday Acting School with Footlights and she absolutely loves it. She gets very excited to go every week because, in her own words, the class is creative and fun. She was asked to write a speech a couple of weeks ago and when she finished, she couldn't have been more proud of herself. We are delighted to see how much confidence in her abilities she has learnt in class and how much she enjoys it. We'd highly recommend Footlights Bury & thank you, Team Footlights, for your hard work and dedication.”

“Fantastic dance school Made to feel welcome the minute you walk through the door Endless opportunities for children to thrive in the performing arts”

“A star kids Nursery is amazing, I could not be more happier with this nursery. The staff go out their way in the best interest of your child. A star is a welcoming warming nursery, a great place for your child to grow and develop. Well done Neelam for being so amazing with the kids.”

“Amazing experience with Kim and Rosie at Victoria Nails & Beauty. My first time having a pedicure, feet exfoliation, and feet and calf massage. Beautiful gel nails with nail extensions and cats eyes colour. Recommend Kim and Rosie to all my friends & family. See you again soon ❤️”

“I would like to really thank Mike for the continuous support and updates through the recruitment process and for understanding. Mike was available out of hours and always got back to me, he sent me links and helped me prepare for the interview. It was a really quick process and I thank this company so much, I highly recommend this company and I couldn't of done it without your help or support. Thanks again :)”

“I cannot recommend Educare enough. From Becky, the manager, to each and every one of my son's key workers throughout the three years he has been there (Kirsty, Nicola, Emy, Alicia, Lizzie, Amy, Elena), I have always felt he is in the safest hands. Every member of staff is just the loveliest - they put tonnes of effort into the activities they plan, and parents are kept up to date with progress and pictures. Nothing is ever too much, even when I call up in the middle of the day because "he just seemed a bit sad this morning and I wanted to check whether he's cheered up and now having a good day!". They don't just give it lip service, they keep me on the line as they go to check on him, and will pass me on to his key worker if a bigger update is needed. Any time he's had a bump or fall (he's a kid, it's going to happen!), it's been recorded, and I've had a detailed account of exactly how it came about - which ALWAYS matches up to my son's description of the event, too. I really do love all the staff here, they provide a really personal touch which makes the world of difference. And to have your kid come home and say their key worker is their BEST FRIEND is the most heartwarming thing ever. He feels safe, and so do I.”

“Our kitten Louie has stayed here twice now with a third time booked in. The owner Heidi is so lovely, kind and incredibly accommodating and takes such good care of all the animals! The pens are very spacious and have lots of toys to keep them entertained. We know he’s in safe hands and honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough!”

“Leanne took some incredible photos of our family, including our dog! Leanne is amazing at what she does, and really does show a passion for photography. Leanne was very kind and patient with my newborn and my eldest daughter and really took her time to get the best results. Thank you so much for the lovely photos! We will definitely be returning highly recommended!!”

“Sarah is so helpful. I had been let down by a other florist and I messaged her at 6:30 last night to see if she could help. She replied quickly and I collected the most beautiful flowers at 8:45 this morning. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you so much”

“Absolutely stunning flower arrangement! Victoria truly outdid herself. The bouquet was the most beautiful I've ever seen, and it became the talk of our entire office. Their attention to detail and quality is exceptional. Will definitely use their services again for future orders. Highly recommended for anyone looking for beautiful floral designs!”

“We chose the Flower House as our florist and venue dresser for our wedding and could not have been happier! From the get go they were unbelievably helpful and attentive. The venue looked stunning, the bouquets were amazing and everything was set up perfectly and on time. I would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone.”

“Great place Ged's work is mind blowing, couldn't be happier. Wouldn't go anywhere else now”

“Amazing tattoo shop, friendly and welcoming :) Me and my mother in law walked in enquiring about a little sentimental tattoo shes been after for a while, within 15 mins she was seated and was being tattooed(she loved her tattoo), it was such a lovely environment and everyone was so nice to talk to xxx”

“I cannot recommend this studio highly enough. I had my first “proper” tattoo done by Mark Armstrong 21 years ago and since then have had numerous tattoos done by Big Gaz (Gary Bevan). I visited Third Light Tattoo for the first time today and am exceptionally pleased with the work done by Gaz.”

“Great artist, booked me in last minute for a small tattoo, friendly, lovely clean and professional studio, can't recommend enough! Thank you”

“I couldn't recommend Masquerade Tattoo enough, Mel's work is unreal. Through the booking and design process to the end result it was a great experience. Very warm and welcoming. Mel must have a very delicate touch as my sessions with her were the least pain I have ever experienced in the chair which is just a bonus. 10/10”

“Full disclosure: I am not a customer. With that being said,… This establishment is made with love, passion, blood, sweat, and determination that came from its owner, Jori Lakars, aka Hott Mama, aka The Mama who always gave herself goals and standards that benefited the world to the fullest and implemented the highest standards possible. A quick glance at her path shows that she has been successful in the industry well known in a way that the number of 5 reviews or social media followers will not reflect. I met her personally only once before she moved to England about 17 years ago. She was working in a popular tattoo shop in Wicker Park that I won’t name. ( if you know, you know) the had long ravenous hair and substantially fewer tattoos. Although I had met many women who were in the industry, few were celebrated by their peers. The shop posted a large banner in the front window that said ‘we have a female tattoo artist.’ I had never seen that before even in a liberal city like Chicago. Soon after that, every shop in the area had at least one ‘female.’ She went on to work at many of the best rated shops and worked on the best artists in the business as clients. When she moved, we were sad yet proud to see that she was following her passion overseas. She would wonder up one of the top artists anywhere she worked. She finally got her own place and put every ounce of work into it. Sadly, she had just acquired two young brilliant talents just recently. A couple of weeks ago, she passed away in a car accident without any warning. I t is a shock that she is gone and her energy is eternally resting. I have known her half of my life and I have never known anyone like her. A true inspiration and individual person who is driven to create. If you are lucky enough to have had a moment with her, you know what I mean. Love to her local community from Chicago. We were all lucky enough to be together for as long as we could,…… Cheers to Jori.”

“Hi I am Mobina. I had two minimalist tattoos done with Stephanie, and I couldn’t be happier! She is incredibly kind, professional, and talented. Her attention to detail and efficiency made the whole experience so smooth and enjoyable. In fact, it was the most relaxing tattoo session I’ve ever had! I absolutely love her work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful, delicate designs.”

“I made a last minute appointment with Ailsa, she did a reworking of a tattoo I really hated and I love it now and also designed a small tattoo for me. I am always nervous going to a new city and new artist but Ailsa and the whole team made me feel so comfortable and like I was among friends. I’d definitely go again and had an amazing experience.”

“Maisie is a wonderful tattoo artist, so easy to get along with whilst maintaining a high level of professionalism. She was very accommodating to my needs of frequent breaks and even offered me cups of tea. The result of my tattoo was even better than what I had originally imagined. 6 months on, my tattoo still looks just as amazing. I could not be more happier with the result. I highly recommend Stone Heart Tattoos. I shall be returning in the near future.”

“Been there more than a few times and everyone in there is professional and their work is amazing. I had James ( big man ) best tattoo artist in my opinion. Clean and understanding too.”

“This is the only place I will go now. Amazing tattoo I'm so happy with it. Really friendly relaxed environment and max is sound. Would recommend this to anyone. Booking my next one in straight away.”

“I recently got my old and faded tattoos of Superman and Wonder Woman re-done by Holly, and I absolutely love them! Holly was so friendly and welcoming, and she took the time to understand what I wanted and how I wanted it to look. The tattoo itself is absolutely stunning. Holly's work is incredibly detailed, and the colors are vibrant and alive. I love how she captured the characters. I would highly recommend Holly to anyone looking for a new tattoo. She is a talented artist with a great eye for detail. She is also very friendly and patient, and she will make sure that you are happy with your tattoo. I would definitely get another tattoo from Holly in the future. In fact I'm already booked it for my next one! She is a talented artist who I trust to create a beautiful and lasting tattoo.”

“Absolutely blown away by the tattoo I had done by Dem! Her realism work is nothing short of incredible – the detail, shading, and overall artistry are next level. She captured exactly what I wanted and turned it into a stunning piece of art that I’ll cherish forever. Dem was professional, friendly, and made the whole experience so comfortable. If you’re looking for a tattoo artist who can bring your ideas to life with breathtaking realism, look no further. I can’t recommend her enough – 5 stars all the way!”

“Tattoos by Nic is the Only place we as a family will go, in our opinion Nic is the best tattooist locally, by far!!!! She has gone above & beyond, opened up one sat just for me & my sister. Made lots of money for the Manchester bee appeal!! Tattoo wise, wow, the intricate details she does are amazing. My hubby has a full back piece, American Indians,detail is amazing!! Come up with an idea & Nic will draw it, FANTASTIC See you soon Nic XxxxxxxX”

“Been tattooed at this studio a couple of times now, once by Joe and then by Chris. Great studio with a nice friendly atmosphere. So many amazing artists here.”

“sam has been doing my sleeve over past year and he's the absolute best at what he does, from making you feel 100% comfortable to helping with the design come to life, i wouldn't go anywhere else for tattoos now”

“Turned up begging for help as my original piercer put too short a bar in my ear and the swelling was agony. Lee was calm, friendly and changed my bars effortlessly. Really appreciated the help and would happily return for a tattoo! Smart, clean and quality service- what more could you ask for?”

“I Went to matt for my first ever tattoo. He was brilliant throughout the whole day. He also give lots of good info on aftercare to make sure my tattoo all healed perfect. You will struggle to find a better artist for price and quality of work. The shop as a whole has a brilliant atmosphere and is always a good laugh. I have now almost finished a full leg sleeve off and couldn’t recommend him more. Get booked in you wont regret it.”
