Creative arts in Salford

“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?”

“Went to watch Cinderella over the Christmas period. The cast were brilliant and the script very well written. As others have mentioned, the ugly sisters were the stars of the show with lots of interaction with the audience. Overall, very good value for money on the initial purchasing of tickets and what the play delivered. I wasn't sure on the parking arrangements and it appears limited where you can park but there were some spaces behind and around the row of shops. We caught the bus to the local precinct and walked the 10 minutes so that is a viable option. The venue itself has food and drink on sale that is very reasonably priced and you can pay both with cash and card. It is a small venue that until recently I did not know even existed. It's intimate and seating, while seen better days, was adequate and even after the near 3 hours being there, was not feeling uncomfortable. Overall, an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon with family”

“The most welcoming, friendly and fun studio in Manchester! The instructors are fantastic, supportive and work to your level in every class. The variety of classes on offer far outstrips any other studio in Manchester and they offer great value for money. Easily accessible, just 10 minutes from Piccadilly Gardens, if you are looking to start out or to drop by and practice insane tricks, Polefire is without a doubt the best place to go!”

“Looks like a fantastic facility. State of the art amenities, and great travel connections. The regeneration in the area is fantastic and it was a pleasure to be there.”

“A good place for a coffee or bite to eat. Just visiting for an open day.”

“A hidden gem, with wood carving every day of the week”

“So far I’m enjoying kids planet everything is smooth and I feel like Josiah is safe and learning. I especially love the app where I’m updated about Joshiah day”

“Absolutely brilliant drama school. The teachers are excellent, my children have massively improved since attending, as well as the acting/singing/dancing they now confidently speak in public and have made great friends along the way. Definitely recommend.”

“David is a fabulous addition to the Urban Bubble team. He's incredible at his job, super helpful, friendly, and charismatic!! Can genuinely tell he takes great pride in his job and helping residents. Always has time for them and certainly always goes the extra mile to help us all out. Couldn't have asked for a more wonderful person to look after the building in my honest opinion. David's service and friendly nature goes above and beyond what anyone could ever expect and is greatly and deeply appreciated.”

“I wanted to get my 8 year old into something to keep her active and something she enjoys as seen her dancing a lot when watching you tube. Searched on google as you do and came across JD dance and it was the best thing I ever did. The staff are amazing the owner Jenny is wonderful and everyone who is a part of JD dance are so welcoming feel a part of a big family now and would recommend to anyone.”

“Brilliant! Both my children attend classes with Adam and they LOVE it! Adam is a fantastic coach. The sessions are varied and interesting. The children are always smiling and coming here has definitely boosted their confidence. Highly recommended.”

“Just had my son’s 3rd birthday at Little Bees/Studio 96 and couldn’t recommend it more. It was the easiest party ever, we just brought the cake. They sorted decoration, food and party bags (which were brilliant). The space is perfect for free play for a big group of kids and everyone loved it. Staff are so kind and helpful too. Thank you so much for the best afternoon.”

“Luna executed my idea perfectly!!! I felt safe and comfortable in the studio despite the long session and absolutely adore my new tattoo. Aftercare guide was sent within the hour my tattoo was completed. I will be recommending Flesh Chambers & will definitely be back!!! ”

“Lovely place to hang out..such good vibes! Enjoyed the vegan pizza pocket n juice!”

“Had such a lovely experience here getting tattooed by Grace! The studio is really cute inside, very clean and welcoming. All the artists here are super friendly and talented everyone was chatting and laughing during our session, just a really great vibe! Easy to find too, great location for anyone travelling into the city by train, I’ll definitely be back! ❤️”

“Very, very good venue. The quayside theatre is very small and intimate, but holds a good crowd. We were there to see the "Ideal" stage show (which was absolutely brilliant) and it was a great trip. Two minor issues were that it was unclear when the doors would open, leaving quite a few people like us standing outside in rain and wind, which was not Ideal (see what I did there) Also the toilet roll dispensers are utterly dreadful, where you have to try and pull it out of a very tight opening and it invariably tears close to the holder. You know the ones I'm talking about... The rosé wine is delightful...”

“One of the best pubs in Manchester! Has a wide variety of beers and ciders to choose from, the staff are incredibly friendly, the interior is very cosy and beautiful and it also has a cute little beer garden for the sunny days as well as an upstairs floor is usually hosting some kind of event! We had an amazing time and will definitely be coming back! 10/10”

“The FOH Magda and Jack are amazing and super helpful whenever I need anything. Night FOH need improvement as we’ve only had agency staff recently which impacts service charges and when our actual FOH is here, they aren’t at the front desk. Other than that and a couple of service charge issues, I’ve no complaints! Super nice building to live in with really nice sociable people. Again, Paulina, Donna and day FOH team are amazing and super friendly. They even put on events for us residents here every now and then.”

“Beautiful building to visit. Great architectural in Manchester.”

“First time today, the food was amazing!!! Loved the option for a two/three course meal at around £23. The Sunday roast was one of the best I’ve ever had. Everything was seasoned!! And tasted so good and the portion size was perfect. The cookie desert was so tasty! Again the flavours were amazing. Defo coming back again.”

“We haven't lived here long but the main spotlight of the place is the beautiful esmeralda, she always welcomes you in the morning with a smile and assists in the best ways possible. The place is always spotless and makes the place feel more comfortable.”

“Came to manchester from london and ordered pounded yam and oha soup. As soon as I tasted the soup it felt like been transported back to the village. I could taste the home cooking in every bite. Atmosphere was good. The host was friendly and in my view one of the best African restaurants I have visited.”

“Very professional and organised Very supportive and always provides resources. Would 100% recommend as she is the best”
