“Great little sandwich bar may look old but the food is top notch plus it is actually open before work so you can get your breakfast early and if you are just walking the dog they give them little treats”

“Love this cafe. As a veggie the soup of the day was chicken but the owner James set to and made me the most delicious mushroom and sweetcorn soup ever . The prices cant be beaten in this place (large full English £4.95) and the menu extensive with a mix of English and Carribean all sounds delicious. James looks so calm under pressure as he was alone cooking and serving when we called in but everyone served in no time..my favourite place to eat when in Bolton.”

“The owner David puts on various speciality nights , tonight was a Thai night and all the food was prepared and cooked by his partner Sai .. It was awesome, she is an amazing cook, the food was outstanding and made me feel like i was actually back in Thailand .. at £30 per head probably the best Thai meal i have ever had in the UK ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Love cafe vibes, we love coming here when we feel too lazy to go into town for food. They have English breakfast and Asian food which is perfect because both are our comfort food.”

“Went to see a stage play The Father. Tremendous show, very well presented. Lovely theatre. Highly recommended.”

“An interesting presentation at Hallé St Peter's,held during Japan week in Manchester. We learned about the Hallé connection with Japan with musicians & conductors. After which there was a Samurai display in the grounds infront of the Makers Market. An excellent day.”

“We've been coming here as part of our programme MCR Social, asking Projekts to delivery inclusive sessions for the disabled and neurodivergent teens we work with - it has been absolutely amazing! Luke, the instructor, is a fantastic and very supportive coach! Very friendly and approachable, he really helps everyone feel welcomed and at ease, and expertly manages to work with the group who have quite a range of abilities - we've seen some really amazing development, with people clearly growing independence and confidence from the sessions. It's been a massive success and we're so thrilled, the whole group is so excited to visit every time! A big thanks to Luke and everyone at Projekts, as well as Alex and John who helped organise the sessions! We can't wait to come back :-)”

“As a healthcare professional who visits the nursery regularly, I just want to mention how pleased I have been on my visits. Lovely staff with a genuine enjoyment of working with young children. Staff are well trained on how to support children. I have seen good examples of staff implementing strategies to help support development. The nursery has a good learning environment and the staff always have creative activities set up. It is amazing to see the care, kindness and compassion they demonstrate every single day. Friendly atmosphere that is welcoming, approachable and a pleasant place to visit.”

“Such a great place - my son had his 8th birthday party here. Staff very helpful from the start, the coach was fantastic, everyone loved it! Highly recommend - thank you again!”

“Thank you so much for a fab experience! We initially booked to do The Dungeon of Doom, but my youngest was too scared. Our host, Sam, was really helpful and reassuring, and allowed us to change to another available game (End of the Line) and even provided a cuddly companion for the duration of the game (Cosmo). We finished the game, and my youngest even said she wanted to play again!”

“We went to see the opening night of Aladdin and it was absolutely fantastic. We all had a brilliant time. The show itself was so entertaining having us all laughing and singing or clapping along. Everything was also really well organised. Fantastic family night out for a group age 5 to 73. Thank you and good luck for the rest.”

“Great to see the contemporary dance performance 'shed' by the Northern Rascals dance company at the Partington. Such a great performance dealing with timeless issues in a contemporary way in a performance which really spoke to me. Wonderful to have touring acts perform at this venue (let's bring more if we can!) as well as traditional theatre performances by the players.”

“Wow, what a fabulous show this afternoon at GLC. The Bridges of Madison county was exceptional. Thank you for making me a blubbering mess....in a good way. MAODS go from strength to strength!”

“Just love it! Great little Theatre. Excellent team. Very friendly and good bar.”

“Great place to train, girlfriend (who trains here regularly) and I have attended a showcase tonight and it was absolutely fantastic. Fabulous, raunchy, hilarious to the maximum. Highly recommend :)”

“Wonderful nursery. The staff are all lovely and genuine people with hearts of gold. The children are all very well cared for and my son always enjoys his time here.”

“We have had a wonderful experience here. My daughter loves it! Settled so well in the baby room when she started, and now on to visits in pre school ready for that transition! Highly recommend!”

“lovely studio with multi level classes. With friendly dancers and professional teachers”

“Really nice person, as first timers, Heather helped us through the process, being professional and personal when in the chair. Helped get the ideas out of your help and on to paper, fantastic line work and really happy with how it came out.”

“My daughter has been coming here for a year now doing Ballet on Saturday, 45 minute class. She really enjoys her classes with Miss. Emily and Miss Jenny. We absolutely loved the Great Showman performance in the Parr Hall. She loved her beautiful sparkly costume and dancing on the stage. Initially she did not know anyone and now she chats to Jennys mum as she helps her with her muddy football boots and shin pads, (as she come straight off the pitch to ballet) she says her own name for the register and skips into class with a smile. The little things matter and the friendly atmosphere helps her to thrive. I am hoping that the twins will be able to join Little crew shortly. Highly recommended x”

“Nice little theatre. Some really talented kids. Everyone there is really friendly, plenty of refreshments. Good to support this type of local venue.”

“My son went to this nursery from 9 months old until he left for school in September. All the staff are so caring and loving, like a family away from home - three of his key persons particularly standout, Katie G who was his first in Bunnies and supported his transition into nursery life, Jess for support with his speech and language while he was in Fox Cubs and Malaika while he was in Owls for nurturing his curiosity through her experiments. His first parents evening at primary school was full of positives and he is hitting or exceeding all his targets, part of this is the play and experiences he had while being at Footsteps! Thanks from a proud Daddy!”

“We had an awesome time at Minikin for our dads 80th birthday. We did the paint a pot party and it was lovely to sit down as a family (ages 4 all the way up to 80) and get creative! We'll all have a unique memento of a special weekend together. Claire was brilliant and so helpful. Cannot wait to see how they all come out after they've been in the kiln :) Highly recommend.”

“Amazing can’t thank her Enough ❤️”

“My first visit here for my latest Tattoo, what an amazing experience, my appointment was with artist Frank, who went through the detail of my chosen Tattoo ( our Pet Cocker Spaniel ) from start to finish this was a pleasurable experience. Would certainly recommend and definitely return for further body art. The other tattooists are friendly, their catalogue of previous work is available to view online, very experienced, clean and knowledgeable, excellent location in the heart of Tyldesley.”

“Such a great independent store in the heart of Manchester, such an array of items and cool brands I don’t even see in any other store in that area. Good prices and the staff are so helpful and not even that you can two step when ur in there. Highly recommend if you go to Manchester for a trip or live here and not been yet”

“My wife and I visit Scona every Sunday morning for a treat whilst our kids are at a local yoga class. The scones are AMAZING, obviously, but so are the breakfasts and drinks. Excellent service, too. Roll on Sunday! :)”
