“Amazing experience, finally i found the perfect hair stylists right in the city centre. They both are super friendly, available, professional and in a minute they have understood my needs. it absolutely feel like back home in Italy. Alessandro and Francesco are really two superstars and can'twait to go back there! I strongly recommend to visit them and enjoy your new hair style!”

“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!”

“Honestly footlights has been such an amazing experience for me, it’s genuinely supported me throughout my life and given me something to look forward to every weekend. I’ve been going to footlights since I was six and have made so many incredible memories and met just the most amazing people. Apart from learning to sing, dance and act, footlights is so much more than that! It’s a family and being apart of it is something I will never forget!!”

“I attended the Monday acting class at mindful acting last week. I was extremely impressed by the whole class, from the teacher to the friendly, welcoming and supportive vibe. Unfortunately as I don't live in Manchester I can't attend every week, but I will definitely be back again and would recommend to all actors and aspiring actors. Thanks, Christopher Heyworth-Hill”

“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.”

“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!”

“I have been going to an NHS course there. Easy to get to bus stop right outside. Big conference room . Big carpark.”

“Chapel Street Primary School is an exceptional school with exceptionally dedicated staff. Children are very welcoming and very ambitious. I had great pleasure to work with the staff to help them create a curriculum that matters. During my time at the school I had the opportunity to see the great improvements children had made in their learning. Year 6 children working on the circulatory system were fired up by what they had learned with one boy going on to research the part the brain plays in ensuring the heart remains healthy. Younger children studying the digestive system were fascinated to learn about what happens to their food. The way the staff support this enquiry based learning is a joy to observe. This is a school that is going places, ensuring that children are not just learning but that they are improving their long-term memory. In other words, they are very much into making a difference through improving the knowledge the children will take with them for the rest of their lives.”

“Very impressive open evening . Tutors all seem very eager and happy .”

“I love this place cause it survived 2 world wars, it was moved after the arndale bombing. My great great grandfather owned the now bar/restaurant. You can see him in the photo. I'd love to know what happened to the clock.”

“I truly believe that the art of barbering can be broken down into 3 categories.. 1: The safe and trusted barber that stays within the confines of that usual, regular haircut, non exciting, pretty much basic steady trim that would be acceptable everywhere but for only a few would care.. 2:The Street artist barber who talents are daring and bold, always ready to try and create something new, fresh, hip and “tag” it in order to leave their mark just as a graffiti artist would in the concrete jungle. These barbers are the new bold, their creations can be seen in on social media, every hood, urban cities and hip nightspots. If you desire to replicate the cut of your favourite rapper, celebrity or whichever then the street artist barber is your weapon of choice.. 3: The Picasso barber, this barber is the connoisseur of modern day barbering, full and intricate attention to each and every detail, this barber takes the street artist graffiti urban cut and turns it into a museum masterpiece, it can almost seem that every hair strand is cut individually such is the attention and time dedicated to the trim, ingrown hairs almost invisible to the human eye are intrinsically removed, beards are sculpted and shaped with the same precision as a statue is carved out of stone. This barbering experience is more than a cut, it’s almost therapeutic and leaves the beneficiary of this cut feeling reinvented somewhat, this is the barber you choose when you come to understand that you as an individual deserves only the best and self care is of utmost importance, this should be your barber of choice... Damian at Carter Creative is barber no:3 The Picasso connoisseur, he exemplifies unadulterated perfection in every way possible, he is the barber you deserve, the barber you need, The barber of the future.”

“Great option for someone who wants their children to learn Greek! The teachers are knowledgeable and with great skills. They are very supportive with the children and the parents. My son started nursery this year and he really enjoys the lessons every Saturday morning. He has got new friends, enriches his vocabulary, has more confidence in Greek language and he really loves his teacher. Highly recommended to families of Manchester!”

“My daughter has been going to little voices for a few months now and she absolutely loves it, her concentration is noticeably improved and she cant wait to go back every week”
