Entertaining experiences in Stockport

“Great set up and the escape room was great fun. We did Sawtopsy and really enjoyed it. The room had a lot of physical locks - combinations and key based.”

“We had our son's 11th birthday party here recently, and it was a great experience - it's such good value, especially the bowling time, the arcade games and the food is lovely. Aleina in particular was a wonderful host who took really good care of us all. This is the third year in a row we've had birthday parties at the Light, and it never disappoints!”

“Brilliant theatre. The oldest little theatre in the UK. Excellent regular variety of shows very well acted. Good bar area. The seating is comfortable and tiered so that all seats give a good view. Parking available next door with a lovely helpful chap who deserves a mention. Some notable present and past honorary members such as Sir Ian McKellen, Dame Sybil Thorndike and locally born Dame Wendy Hillier.”

“Went to see Barbie with some friends. The seats were very comfy, lots of room. The popcorn was really fresh and the hotdogs were okay. The movie watching area was cool instead of freezing (great stuff!) and it was super clean! Staff were courteous and nice”

“Had my son’s birthday party here on Sunday 3rd. It was the least stressful birthday party I’ve ever hosted. The 3 guys planned and organised everything and Lucy in the background making sure all the food was correct. Well catered for, one of the boys was lactose and they made sure he had everything. Everyone had such a fantastic 2 hours, kids and the overgrown kids as well. Would highly recommend. Thank you for making his party a great one.”

“Good shop, never too cluttered always has something on sale aswell which is brilliant if your struggling but want to treat the kids to something new. Staff are always friendly I’ve never had a bad experience with anyone and I’ve been coming to the shop for 8/9 years ish. It’s always clean too never dusty things on shelves, I recently was missing part of my online order so emailed with all the information they obviously got the email and responded with a resolution within 24 hours the one time I’ve had a ‘problem’ and I’m happy with the way it’s been handled. Basically now the item is sold out they have offered to refund me or swap it for a different doll with next day delivery or I can collect the same doll from further away as Stockport haven’t got it. I got apologies, I got the doll sorted out and we’re all humans mistakes are going to happen it’s how they respond to the complaint that makes a difference. The doll will be here in time for my child birthday and that’s what matters! I’m happy with the response because at a different shop all together I’m still 4 months later trying to prove I never recieved anything, entertainers systems are all kept up to date as they were able to tell instantly my item hadn’t been dispatched rescinded quickly.”

“Couldn't fault this place for my 7 year olds party, Shannon was a great coach. Perfect for 11 energetic kids , well organised, friendly staff and they went above and beyond to make sure my son had a special birthday. Great food and extremely accommodating as we had to re - organise the 1st party at very short notice due to illness .would really recommend for a hassle free party !”

“Great experience with the family for my daughter’s birthday. We did the tea party room. Harder than what we thought it would be but very good fun. Very well put together and great back story when we started to set the theme. Would definitely recommend and will be returning to do another escape room in the near future.”

“Amazing the cubs and beavers loved him 5 *”

“These classes are great! I’ve just finished taking my son to the 0-3 month classes which have been so perfectly pitched for his age group. I was nervous about taking my newborn to a class but Natalie is such a great leader and has made such a fun, supportive environment. Cannot recommend these classes enough!”

“The service was efficient and the staff were so friendly! Our shopping trolley was broken so we ordered a new one, and in minutes the new one was ready to collect. They helped us put the new one together right there in the store and they even disposed of our old one for us!”

“Easy to book tickets good seating plans”

“The staff are fantastic at this hotel. I stayed with my dog and nothing was too much trouble. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. There was a bit of noise from some of the other rooms but nothing too bad. Mainly young people enjoying themselves so it quietened down after a minute or so.”

“A great venue for parties. Beautifully decorated and a perfect space for what I had in mind. Sean and team were really friendly and helpful and helped to create a great atmosphere. PA/Hire a DJ package was seamless and easy to use. Bar prices were good and had a great selection. Thanks to Sean and team at Squad House, highly recommended.”

“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”

“Chestnut Theatre School is just fantastic! My daughter has been going for two years, and it's been amazing to see her come out of her shell. She used to be so shy, but now she's much more confident and loves going to her drama classes. The teachers are so kind and really know how to make the kids feel good about themselves. It's not just about acting; it's like a little confidence boost every week! If you have a shy kiddo, I highly recommend giving Chestnut Theatre School a try – it's made a real difference for us!”

“Full disclosure: I am not a customer. With that being said,… This establishment is made with love, passion, blood, sweat, and determination that came from its owner, Jori Lakars, aka Hott Mama, aka The Mama who always gave herself goals and standards that benefited the world to the fullest and implemented the highest standards possible. A quick glance at her path shows that she has been successful in the industry well known in a way that the number of 5 reviews or social media followers will not reflect. I met her personally only once before she moved to England about 17 years ago. She was working in a popular tattoo shop in Wicker Park that I won’t name. ( if you know, you know) the had long ravenous hair and substantially fewer tattoos. Although I had met many women who were in the industry, few were celebrated by their peers. The shop posted a large banner in the front window that said ‘we have a female tattoo artist.’ I had never seen that before even in a liberal city like Chicago. Soon after that, every shop in the area had at least one ‘female.’ She went on to work at many of the best rated shops and worked on the best artists in the business as clients. When she moved, we were sad yet proud to see that she was following her passion overseas. She would wonder up one of the top artists anywhere she worked. She finally got her own place and put every ounce of work into it. Sadly, she had just acquired two young brilliant talents just recently. A couple of weeks ago, she passed away in a car accident without any warning. I t is a shock that she is gone and her energy is eternally resting. I have known her half of my life and I have never known anyone like her. A true inspiration and individual person who is driven to create. If you are lucky enough to have had a moment with her, you know what I mean. Love to her local community from Chicago. We were all lucky enough to be together for as long as we could,…… Cheers to Jori.”

“Fantastic Bar with amazing people running it, and such a friendly crowd inside all round great atmosphere. Superb drink choice, with beers (north/ South my favourite) and cocktails a plenty (Gin Bramble my wifes favourite). They really go all out to look after you and your dogs too. My pug loves going, I have a pint she has some biscuits!”

“It was good family fun with our party of six. Christmas theme. Some clever props and animations. Elf powered? But a few clues helped us through the parts.”

“We had an amazing time here. The kids loved the variety of games and experiences. They were helped at all times by brilliant, attentive and knowledgeable staff. They really took care of everyone there and had a lovely manner with the kids. It is great value for money and we will definitely be back!”

“The teachers here are very supportive and understand each child’s individual needs. My child is happy and always participated in new activities and her confidence has grown tremendously. Thank you so much Manchester learning zone! Highly recommended ❤️”

“An absolute drinkers paradise with friendly, efficient service. It’s only Monday and we have 11 of the 12 cask ales pouring plus additional craft keg lines. A truly fantastic pub to visit and lament that there’s not more like it.”

“I cannot recommend this garage enough. I waa being quoted £600 plus for a replacement clutch on my VW golf. Hillgate auto replaced the clucth with a genuine LUX part at fraction of the cost.”

“Great garage and owner. They are honest and rectify any problems you may have. Would recommend Sean and his garage.”

“Hosted my daughter’s 2nd birthday at Pure Imagination and couldn’t recommend it more. Sally was so helpful during the party and helped us set up before. The role play toys were just perfect for my daughter and all her friends. Fantastic party venue !”

“"Some to Watch over me" absolutely brilliant performances by all the cast. Takes you on an emotional and thought provoking journey. The human will to survive and its sense of humour in all situations. Well done to all involved. A great theatre and very welcoming crew.”

“Great tour of the local Stockport Brewery, Bernice on reception was helpful and Gary took us around the brewery with his facts.”

“Absolutely amazing priced, lovely Cinema and although small very comfy.”
