Creative events 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”

“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”

“We booked Sam for our wedding last Thursday. I got to say he was very outstanding. Firstly, so polite and on time. Secondly, all our friends and family spoke so highly of him and absolutely loved the tricks. Was lovely to have him as part of the day. He also did a finishing trick for me and my wife which was a lovely touch as we were busy getting photos and stuff most of the time he was there. Would recommend Sam to anyone 10/10, thanks again”

“Jeff was amazing!! Highly recommended, children loved their balloons. Thanks again! :)”

“I’ve been getting flowers from The Flower Girl for years and I honestly can’t recommend enough! The flowers are always breathtaking and beautiful. The bouquets are unique and also they last for ages. I now only get my flowers here and wouldn’t go anywhere else. She is quick to reply and so helpful with any questions too”

“We played Space Evaders and Ellen was our host. She explained the game well and only gave clues when we really needed them which was great. The game itself was really fun, we did it as a team of 4 and there was plenty for each of us to do. We've played many escape rooms before and this room offered a loads of puzzles and with varying difficulty, so something for everyone. Would recommend!”

“Been going here for over 20 years. Which doesn't mean they don't move with the times. Modern up to date establishment with highly skilled stylists.”

“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 an amazing time here the other week, the DJ was absolutely amazing had the whole room bouncing! Guys on the door were boss and got in quick and easy, no fuss. Bar staff inside so kind and even helped me find my phone when I lost it! Would absolutely recommend anyone a night out here!”

“Relaxed little place, absolute gem for sushi, and I have to callout the cocktails - they're so affordable and are yummy. I've been here so many times now with different friends and even just once for a few cocktails. Always been excellent. Absolutely addicted to the salmon sashimi bowl, my definite go to. The platters are amazingly worth it (I used to live in London so...), portion size was SO GOOD, quality SO GOOD (see pics) Never get hot food here so can't really comment but can confirm it smells and looks yummy.”

“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.”

“The bowling alley is well maintained. Booking is recommended if you plan to go during weekends as it could get busy.”

“Darren is a great teacher with the patience of a Saint. I've never danced in my life and only went because the wife wanted to go, but I really enjoy it. Classes are held at the Methodist Church Hall Denton ( opposite Morrisons Crown Point) 6.30 to 7.30 for beginners. 7.30 to 8.30 for intermediates.”

“I have been coming to MTA for just over a year now and I couldn't be more thankful for the incredible Team! They have been nothing but supportive and fun! The leaders put their hearts into giving us the best drama possible! They have given me opportunities I could get no where else! From the workshops to the shows everything we do at MTA is so much fun! They build up confidence incredibly well and focus on making sure kids are pushed out of there comfort zones while also making sure kids are comfortable! I couldn't be more Positive about MTA! Thankyou to the MTA team for everything you have done for me!!!!!!”

“Lovely setting. Great service. Their champagne never disappoints and the olives were so tasty. Great place to break up a shopping trip....have been visiting for years and always enjoy.”

“My name is Ahlam, I am 19 years old, and my student number is 1485206. I’m really proud to be in my second year at The Manchester College, Shena Simon Campus. I’m really enjoying my time here.The teachers and staff are so supportive and helpful. I’ve learned a lot and feel more confident every day. It’s a great place to study! Last year, I completed the ESOL (16-18) Entry 3 course with the teacher Mark Gourlay , which helped me build my English skills and confidence. This year, I’m studying Functional Skills English and Maths with the adult group, and I’m really enjoying it. The teachers here are fantastic — my Maths teacher, Maryama Gholami, and my English teacher, Nuzhat Siddique, and my IT Teacher Asif Saleh are all very supportive, kind, and always explain everything clearly. They always take the time to help every student and make sure we all understand the lesson. The staff are else very helpful and friendly. Whenever I need help or have a question, there is always someone there to support me. The college offers so many great facilities, and the learning environment is very comfortable and welcoming. I’ve learned so much since I joined, not just in English and Maths, but also about communication, teamwork, and confidence. I feel really happy and safe here, and I enjoy coming to college every day. The Manchester College has given me a great experience, and I’m very thankful to be part of it. I would definitely recommend this college to anyone who wants to improve their skills and achieve their goals.”

“I just want to say a massive THANK YOU for making my wedding dreams come true!! You transformed the William Turner Suite into something dreamy and magical, and I am still in awe on how beautiful everything looked. All our guests were complimenting how beautiful the table settings were. The flower arrangements, most especially, were so gorgeous! I really can't put into words how happy we are for what you did. Thank you for putting up with all the stress w/ the planning! We really appreciate it”

“Bottomless brunch was amazing. The Irish waiter was so kind and attentive. Tysm to him ❤️”

“I’ve ordered cocktails from the drinks drop a few times now and it’s been ace every time. Great menu, really great drinks and they arrive as expected ready for the weekend.... I've already recommended to loads of mates who all loved it also, so can’t recommend highly enough. Brilliant!”
