The 30 Best Enjoyable shopping experience in Manchester

“My partner and I were trying to find a honeymoon and were really struggling so I reached out on social media and found Kevin, he put his all into finding us exactly what we wanted and gave us amazing deals. Kevin is always very friendly and professional and makes sure to give his costumers exactly what they want at the best deal possible. Highly recommend Kevins services.”

“Leanne took some incredible photos of our family, including our dog! Leanne is amazing at what she does, and really does show a passion for photography. Leanne was very kind and patient with my newborn and my eldest daughter and really took her time to get the best results. Thank you so much for the lovely photos! We will definitely be returning highly recommended!!”

“Top Barbers down to earth and decent prices, would defo recommend!!”

“Another excellent haircut from this place. This time from shiro who did a brilliant job. Staff here are really friendly, chatty and good to have a laugh with. I enjoyed meeting Pablo the parrot as well!”

“What a fantastic experience at family owned Totally Wicked Farnworth. As I’m new to vaping I came away with a wealth of information and advice from Chris including hints and tips. It’s refreshing to buy an item whereby the seller has an in-depth, vast knowledge of the product and no ‘hard sell’. I can’t recommend highly enough for a terrific shopping experience.”

“My son got his hair cut here today and it looks absolutely amazing! Super stylish and it's made a nice year old very proud and confident. My son can also be a difficult customer for a barber as he has difficulty sitting still, so you can add good with children to the list.”

“Found this little gem after my previous barber of thirty years retired. Traditional set up and a great haircut with good conversation.. perfect.”

“Visited last night for the first time, what a great relaxed venue! The knowledge and advice on the wine was amazing, we tried the mystery reserve wine (red and white) which was great! Definitely visit if you are in West Didsbury”

“Very friendly. Great choice of products and excellent prices.”

“Best barbers in Hyde! Extremely popular so try to avoid going during peak times. Every time I drive past, they have 5+ people waiting to have a haircut but given they have 5 barbers working there full time, the wait isn't too bad at all”

“Fantastic monthly trim as usual by mikey, always look forward to a chat and story from the main man. Can’t recommend enough, one of the original fourboys!”

“Shan was super helpful today and went above and beyond to make sure we understood everything. He took the time to explain all of our options (especially with care plan and product maintenance) and answered every question with patience and clarity. Friendly attitude made the whole experience easy and stress-free. We really appreciated the time he put into helping us place our order.”

“We have ordered breakfast for delivery from here a number of times now and I can honestly say it’s the best we’ve had in a long time, every single time we haven’t been disappointed. Food is piping hot when it arrives and is beautifully presented you can tell the staff take pride in their food and service. The little touches make such a difference and the staff write little messages on the boxes and receipts saying thank you, or enjoy etc. Will definitely be visiting in person at some point.”

“I took my 19 month old daughter for a measurement and the staff were exceptional. The selection of shoes was brilliant and the staff could not do enough for us. So pleased with the experience, I won't be going to another shoe shop for my daughter ever again. Thank you so much.”

“Had a wonderful experience this morning. Ruby welcomed me with a smile and suggested an addition to my order which was phenomenal. Carlos brought my full order to my table and made sure I had everything I needed. Catherine bused the dishes from my table when I was finished and ensured I was satisfied with everything. I had a lovely conversation with all three of them after I was finished and left feeling very thankful this was the coffee shop I chose while I was in town for a day. Very personable pleasant experience”

“My Visit to the Opera House Manchester My visit to the Opera House Manchester was an unforgettable cultural experience. This historic theatre, opened in 1912, is one of Manchester’s most elegant and iconic performance venues. With its beautifully restored Edwardian architecture, plush seating, and grand interior, it offers the perfect setting for musicals, concerts, ballets, and drama performances. The atmosphere inside was vibrant and welcoming. The acoustics were excellent, and the staff were friendly and well-organized, ensuring a smooth entry and interval experience. The show I attended was brilliantly produced — a true reflection of Manchester’s rich performing arts scene. Visitor Tips: Book tickets in advance through the ATG Tickets website for the best seats. Arrive at least 30 minutes early to enjoy the lobby and grab a drink at the theatre bar. Photography is usually not allowed during shows, so plan to enjoy the performance fully. How to Reach: The Opera House is located on Quay Street, Manchester M3 3HP, near Deansgate. It’s easily accessible by tram (St. Peter’s Square or Deansgate-Castlefield stops), bus, or a 10-minute walk from Manchester Oxford Road Station. There are also several parking options nearby, including Spinningfields Car Park. A visit to the Opera House is a must for anyone who loves theatre, music, and Manchester’s timeless charm — a perfect evening of culture and entertainment.”

“Amazing shop! The staff was beyond helpful and friendly. Also did the tour of the stadium that was an excellent experience. A must for any sport fan!”

“Great selection of frozen foods, and deserts. Limited fresh fruit. Good selection of tins, cakes, raw and cooked meats. Prices are good. Clean shop. Staff are good and helpful.”

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

“Love our new sofa!! We recently bought a sofa from Manchester showroom and the experience was wonderful. Helen & the team were great- very patient & helpful. We ordered the sofa end of January and it was delivered beginning of March - so made & delivered in 5 weeks which we are super grateful for. thank you!!”

“What a pleasant surprise to find a really clean room and hotel; but also to be met by the friendliest receptionist, and assisted by a lovely guy, who carried our ( vast amounts) of luggage up the stairs. Thank you! ( For reference, we checked in at 3.30pm on 4/10/25).”

“Always some nice food ...different sauces and some last minute deals Chicken thighs boneless are nice as well as the new zing chic strips”

“Uniqlo is one of the best every day stores going at the moment. I love the fact you can buy synthetic items all the way up to Merino and cashmere. Great everyday practical clothes at good prices and the service is always consistent.”

“The barber at Swagger is great didn’t rush like some other barbers. Very happy with my haircut”

“Just got back from an overnight stay with my 8 year old autistic son. My sons special interest is vehicles of any description, I mentioned this when booking the room and asked if we could possibly be overlooking either a road or train station. Our room was perfect, he was blown away, we could see trains, trams, buses cars the whole shabang! The staff were all phenomenal, friendly, helpful, understanding of my son and his needs, nothing has been too much trouble. We enjoyed the pool, had room service and ate at the breakfast buffet. All fantastic. I would recommend this hotel, the staff and location are perfect.”

“I've stayed at this Premier Inn many times and I have to say, it's a very good spot. The location is great, with McDonald's just around the corner and Chinatown only a 5-minute walk away. Plus, every time we stay here we discover new parts of Manchester that we haven't seen before. It's at the quieter end of Manchester which is always a plus. The hotel is also very close to the train stop, so it's easy to get around. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. The breakfast is also good, with a decent variety of options available. Overall, I highly recommend this Premier Inn. The location is great, it's at the quieter end of Manchester and it's easy to access other parts of the city. Plus the staff are friendly and the rooms are clean and comfortable”

“Love this little Iceland store always seems to be well stocked. But if you're looking for a home delivery for the same day you really do need to get in before 1pm really because most lots get taken up or that's what I've seen to a found. The staff are always happy to help you even though they always seem busy filling the freezers with new stock. I would definitely recommend to family and friends.”

“So I was out shopping and popped into Iceland In Prestwich to get some food shopping, Store was spotlessly clean, Very well stacked shelves and freezers, Great selection of stock across each department, Polite and friendly staff, Competitive prices and grabbed myself some bargains. Free Parking nearby, Disabled bays, Ample parking.”

“I ordered a 48'' Toshiba TV from here. The price was very reasonable and they were very easily to deal with. The engineer Phil did a fantastic job. He contacted me prior to the visit to advise of his time of arrival and turned up on time and was very professional throughout. I would happily use them again.”

“Yes it's true, ikea is a damn maze and I'm sure if they really searched around, they'd find several missing persons. Ikea is superb for offering a glimmer of inspiration to your new home or your existing one. Theres just so much to see and buy. Anything you see can be found in the warehouse. They're a huge food canteen serving low priced meals and mini shop selling frozen versions of their meals. We very much enjoyed our vist.”
