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”

“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”

“An amazing place to bring your child(ren). Each class is different and fun. Becky and Loz do a fantastic job of bringing so much excitement, colourful props. Their cheerful and empathetic personality, makes you feel valued. Me and my girl always looked forward to the classes. Thank you for offering your services which are highly recommended. If you've got a child or children under 4 please do them a favour and bring them to toddler sense. It was the best thing I ever done to bring my girl here. She loved this placed and so did I! ❤️”

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

“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.”

“Absolutely brilliant service. Ben was really helpful got a great price for my Rolex watch and was paid out in minutes. Will definitely use again and recommend him to friends”

“Ordered a pastel pink and white hatbox for my sister’s birthday. The delivery was excellent and the flowers were so beautiful. My sister was absolutely thrilled and so am I!”

“The shop has a relaxed atmosphere and is very welcoming. Both artists are top notch. I have specifically been visiting Chardaine for a number of years and she is fantastic, takes onboard your ideas and is very creative. Within the last year we have been working on a full sleeve, I had a few ideas but she elevated these to an artistic level I’m not capable of and by putting my trust in her I’ve ended up with a sleeve which I LOVE.”

“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.”

“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”

“Penetrated Ace, located in Dukinfield, is a standout tattoo studio known for its cleanliness and welcoming atmosphere. Zeb deserves the high praise for his excellent work, I really appreciate the professional service and the quality of the tattoo, making Penetrated Ace a top choice for anyone looking to inked.”

“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!”

“Always enjoy my classes at Act up North and feel I have learnt somthing new every time. Teachers are great and the effort they put into the showreals also are excellent.. Ive been with Act up North for over three years and intend to keep going. Safe fun place to be.. :)”

“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.”

“Service was amazing From Daisy & eunice, Georga who all served at our table and all made our visit more enjoyable and fun.. we will be back. Love the food, compliaments to the shefs and a great selection of some amazing drinks.”

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 had the empanada to start then the rump and the trés leche for dessert and it was all delicious! really recommend the dessert! will definitely be coming back! thanks team x”

“We visited for the first time on Saturday 8th November 2025 and we were served by Simona. She couldn’t have been more attentive. The service provided was excellent and right up there with the food. I had the arancini and the carbonara with sides of tenderstem broccoli and rocket. My partner had the scarpetta and lasagne. We both really enjoyed the food, particularly the dishes I picked. Simona kindly made me aware that the carbonara was traditional and not cooked with cream, which is what I expected but I do know people who have eaten a version of “carbonara” with cream who would definitely appreciate this information for their knowledge and to be aware of what they were ordering. Despite our table being booked for 7pm on a Saturday and the restaurant being very busy, we did not wait long to be served or for our food to come out. It was all well presented and perfectly cooked. I’ve already recommended a number of people to visit since our meal and we will definitely return next time we’re in Manchester.”

“great service. barber does a brilliant job and takes time and care. Thank you very much”

“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!”

“Brilliant interaction with Children and parents. My son is so happy going to Pre school and is learning so much whilst here. Staff are helping massively with toilet training. Meals that are provided are perfect i get notifications on the app to say when he has eaten and how much, really puts a parents mind at rest knowing he is in the right place and being cared for. Staff put your mind at rest if you have any concerns. Lead by a brilliant manager !! Manchester Hyde team are amazing !!!”

“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.”

“My stay at the Townhouse Hotel Manchester was truly wonderful. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. Check-in was easy and fast, and the team made sure I felt comfortable right away. The room was clean, stylish, and very spacious, with a comfortable bed and everything I needed for a relaxing stay. I especially loved the modern bathroom and the little touches that made the space feel premium and inviting. The hotel’s atmosphere is elegant yet cozy, creating a perfect balance for both leisure and business travelers. The location is another huge highlight right in the heart of Manchester, close to shops, restaurants, and public transport. Despite being in the city centre, the room was peaceful and quiet, allowing for a great night’s sleep. Overall, the Townhouse Hotel exceeded my expectations. Excellent service, beautiful rooms, and a fantastic location. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting 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.”

“I came in a for a trim, Damien was fantastic highly recommended”

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