The 30 Best Cutting edge facilities in Manchester

“My prostate problems arose following a relatively routine eye operation; basically, after the operation, I found I could not urinate. A catheter was fitted and there followed nearly five months under the care of a local NHS hospital with visits to A and E, UTIs, large amounts of blood in the urine, extreme pain, soreness, and such like. At one point I was hospitalised for eight days and an emergency operation was performed to cauterise bleeds from the prostate. Quality of life suffered. Day-to-day tasks became a trial, visits were curtailed and holidays cancelled. Finally, I was referred for a HoLEP procedure under the NHS but, because of the long waiting time and the loss of quality of life I opted for the operation to be performed at Spire Manchester by Mr Matthew Liew. The operation was performed within a few weeks from initial consultation. At that initial consultation, the procedure was thoroughly explained and all my questions answered. I was extremely satisfied with the treatment that I received during all my time at Spire Manchester under Mr Liew's care. Post-op, the staff were kind, attentive and supportive. They explained how the operation had gone and what to expect in the coming days and weeks. My recovery so far has followed what was outlined; blood in the urine ceased after about ten days and incontinence has diminished week by week and although still present it has only been six weeks since the operation; it is manageable and much improved since the early weeks. What has changed is my general quality of life. As my wife said, it's given us our lives back since we must be aware of the impact that this has not just on ourselves but on friends and loved-ones too. We are extremely grateful for everything that Mr Liew and the other staff have done for us and we would highly recommend this route to anyone. If I can add any further detail I would be delighted to do so.”

“As a new golfer, I first went to Richard for a club fitting. I was immediately impressed by the data analysis he presented to me after I tested a number of different brands and models of irons. This allowed us to make an informed decision when choosing the set to order. Once my set of irons arrived I initiated my first block of lessons at The Golf School. As anyone will know who plays golf, there are so many elements to a golf swing but the highly technical launch monitors, camera systems and teaching aids that Richard uses at his facility really help you to understand your swing and see the impact when you make changes. When things don’t go so well you can more easily identify which area you need to work on too. The indoor facilities allow you to continue with lessons and practice no matter what the weather, enabling further improvement throughout the winter season when you might otherwise have not been out as much as you would have liked. Richard is a great communicator and he ensures you have a clear understanding of his teaching. He is informative and friendly and delivers his lessons in a relaxed environment. I am incredibly pleased with the progress I have made since having lessons with Richard and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their game technically but also psychologically.”

“The technician came and fixed the DPF issue on the Range Rover Sport. He clearly understood what he was doing and arrived on time. I was very pleased with the professional job he carried out.”

“Sarah did a great job on my 0 skin fade on the back and sides, giving me a clean and perfect blend. With the professional help of Ash, she achieved an amazing result. She was friendly, professional, and made the whole experience easy. I would highly recommend her.”

“Nestled in the bustling heart of Manchester Arndale at Unit R3, Halle Place, Market Street (M4 3AQ), Immersive Gamebox transforms a compact room into a high-octane augmented reality playground. This isn't your standard arcade—don lightweight motion-sensing visors, and suddenly, walls pulse with interactive projections, surround sound engulfs you, and every gesture controls the action. Games like Shaun the Sheep's Mossy Bottom Championsheeps or Angry Birds pit teams against puzzles, races, and battles, all in 60-minute bursts of collaborative chaos. For kids' parties around age 8, it's an absolute winner. Tailored for ages 8+, these experiences demand no prior gaming skills—just enthusiasm and movement. My group of eight-year-olds squealed through sheep-herding mini-games and alien invasions, their energy perfectly matched by the physical, team-based fun that builds camaraderie without screens glued to faces. Private boxes for 2-6 players (multiple for larger parties) mean no strangers crashing the vibe, and dedicated birthday packages add pizza, fries, and unlimited squash in a post-game lounge—pure party fuel for £20-£30 per child.”

“Took my son here for his 16th birthday. He went on the A320 with Alex. Alex was very patient and explained everything he was doing. The place is extremely well set up and easy to find. My son absolutely loved every minute of it. Would 100% recommend it to friends and family.”

“I have had several visits over a number of years and found them to be very interesting and got paid in the process. The facilities are wonderful and the staff are excellent they will look after you very well. There is TV, pool, computers and a great food service so give it a try you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Brian Slipper.”

“If you want a barbers/male grooming salon with a focus on detail and style, this is absolutely the place. Situated just outside Altrincham in what is becoming the male grooming quarter this little independent business is without any doubt the best in the area.”

“I have had laser hair removal which has been very effective and I am very happy with the results! I also booked for a facial with them and they gave me a tailored approach to my problems. I will continue going here :)”

“Thank you so much for the fabulous haircut and styling! The layers and blow dry have truly transformed my look, making me feel like a celebrity! I couldn't be happier with the amazing job you've done MRS. S. Many thanks x”

“Grateful for the invaluable opportunity to study at AMBS over the last two years. Interacting with a diverse cohort of individuals from various academic, professional, and cultural backgrounds has been incredibly inspiring. The Global MBA experience here goes beyond the curriculum, offering profound management skills and broadening horizons. Studying at AMBS was especially impactful for me, coming from both technical and humanities backgrounds rather than a business one. It provided precisely what was needed to acquire essential knowledge, skills, and a network, fostering a more business-minded perspective.”

“My husband was recently discharged from the care of Prof Ben Grey following surgery for removal of a kidney stone. We felt very fortunate to have a surgeon so outstandingly skilled and experienced as Prof Grey. He took time to explain our options very clearly so my husband felt able to make well-informed choices about his treatment. Prof Grey was always positive and caring which lifted our spirits throughout. Prof Grey's secretary, Nicola, was tremendous: always approachable and very efficient; often a detailed letter summarising our discussions and next steps would have popped up in our email by the time we had arrived home from our consultation. We highly recommend Prof Grey and the Manchester Urology Group.”

“The whole service, from the receptionist to the hair dresser, was amazing. Everyone there is very welcoming. It is pricey, yes, but you cannot compare how much they know about their stuff with any other place. Coming back again, absolutely.”

“I had a very positive experience at the Dalton Street Envie clinic in Manchester. I have now had 3 treatments and the results are amazing from the first session. I have been looked after by Monika and all my appointments are with her. She is very nice and professional. She explained everything in detail. She made me feel comfortable during the entire process. I could notice results from the first laser session, hairs grow really slowly and I have some spots where the hairs are not growing at all. I would definitely recommend Envie to anyone wanting laser hair removal. Anna D.”

“Well designed building. Large open spaces inside of ground floor atrium with large lecture theaters. Smaller rooms around upper floors. Many with no windows may feel more constrained. Well planned external space and campus with a short walk to main campus.”

“The National Graphene Institute in Manchester stands at the forefront of cutting-edge research and innovation in the field of graphene. It serves as a global hub for scientific breakthroughs and technological advancements, bringing together brilliant minds from around the world. With state-of-the-art facilities and a collaborative environment, it fuels groundbreaking discoveries and drives the future of graphene applications. And not to forget 'Birthplace of GRAPHENE'.”

“Good business campus with plenty of facilities for students. Not students are as well welcome though some services are restricted to students.”

“I would regard it as the best experience of my life, the one that had transformed me into what I'm today. I felt so welcome since the first day to the last. The players, the coaches and the staffs were very supportive and friendly. The organization is run very professionally and the coaches are well qualified with a high degree of reputation. All players are treated equally which motivates the players to work hard and strive to bridge the gaps between themselves. There is a healthy competition that results in the growth of oneself as well as everyone around him. They molded me into a tough, competitive and a highly skilled individual. It was a fantastic learning curve and they instilled in me the fighting footballing brain. The knowledge gained was immense and that gave me a tremendous amount of self confidence. The training sessions were such fun that I miss them every single day since I left MIFA. If given an opportunity, I would love to go back there not just because of football, but because MIFA is a family.”

“Suanne and Abbi were amazing. They were thorough and professional ticking all the boxes to ensure my purchase was safe ensuring I was getting the best value and protection. They were warm and understanding and patient. You will definitely want to be in their hands if you are a first time buyer. Thanks for making my journey a good one. My family will now happily settle into our own home.”

“Excellent experience at the urgent treatment centre in Wythenshawe from caring staff and with minimal waiting - thank you!”

“Just excellent. I stayed one night to work locally. My bag was lost on the flight up, the hotel staff were super friendly and helped me with a few bits. Great breakfast also. When things go wrong it comes down to how people help and assist you. I would definately stay again. Many Thanks”

“I’ve just started at GBS Manchester this month, and honestly, it’s been a great experience so far. I’m not sure why there are so many negative reviews, but from what I’ve seen, things have been really good. My teacher is excellent — he explains everything clearly and always makes sure we understand, even if it takes a few tries. You can tell he’s genuinely passionate about what he does, and that makes a big difference!”

“this school is the best and the teachers care for the students”

“North Manchester General Hospital provides dedicated care with professional staff and a wide range of services. While some areas could benefit from modernisation, the commitment to patient wellbeing is clear. Overall, a supportive environment focused on quality healthcare.”

“Fab service as always! I was referred to Chris via a specialist I saw and it was the best thing he could have done. Chris helped me get back running after 2 bad calf tears where other physio's hadn't managed to. He gave me a strength and conditioning programme individual to my needs. Chris is very knowledgeable and supportive and offers advice which has helped me loads. Chris comes very highly recommended.”
