Environmental activism in Manchester

“We absolutely adore Siân's SEN Holiday Forest School Sessions. We joined in the summer of 2023 and quickly fell in love with the holiday sessions. It can be quite challenging when our usual group activities come to a halt, as our entire family thrives on structure and routine. Our daughter has an immense passion for the outdoors and revels in any messy or sensory play. If it were up to her, she'd make the great outdoors her permanent home! Right from day one, Sian extended a warm welcome and dedicated time to truly understand how our daughter prefers to engage. She has patiently built a strong connection with our daughter at her own pace. The activities provided are nothing short of amazing, especially for our daughter, who immerses herself fully in sensory experiences (as you can see in the photos!). Furthermore, the lunch and snacks offered here are fantastic. Our daughter can be quite particular about her safe and unsafe foods, but every visit here has her enjoying the delicious lunch provided. We sincerely appreciate the tremendous effort you put into creating safe and nurturing environments for children with special educational needs. ❤️”

“Awesome customer service! Didn't have what I wanted on the day so they ordered it for me and sent it to my home with no postal charge.”

“I feel is not big enough for what you pay but is not bad I give it 5 stars for all variety of fishes and playground for kids in side some activities but you have to pay extra for them the video I took is from the main aquarium inside witch is beautiful”

“Loved working there, it makes me sad to see how many individuals has such a hard time there. Some brilliant and inspiring staff with students best interests at heart. I think about many of the individuals I worked with there everyday. Particularly some wonderful students and the hard working science department!”

“First class services from start to finish. The attention to detail in tailoring our itinerary was amazing. Throughout our incredible holiday in India, we were taken care of throughout the trip, with wonderful representatives, fantastic tour guides, and brilliant drivers. The hotels and experiences that were arranged were out of this world, and they really do care about the environment and cultures of where they operate. It was a real privilege to see and experience. What also impressed me about Conscious Travel was their ability to adapt to any last minute requests and deliver, even when you think it was not possible. Our holiday was unbelievable and it’s all thanks to Conscious Travel. I highly recommend Conscious Travel to anyone and I will definitely be using them for future travel plans.”

“We have booked our last four ski holidays with Get Me To The Alps, and every experience has been outstanding from start to finish. They take all the stress out of planning by handling every detail with professionalism and care. From choosing the perfect resort to arranging accommodation, transfers, and lift passes, they make the entire process so straightforward that booking a ski holiday becomes a pleasure rather than a chore. What really sets them apart is how helpful and responsive they are at every stage. No question is too small, and they’re always quick to provide advice or updates, which gives you complete peace of mind. It’s rare to find a company that combines excellent customer service with such efficiency, but they truly deliver on both. Knowing that everything is organised by one reliable company means we can simply relax and look forward to our trip. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Get Me To The Alps to anyone planning a ski holiday – they make the whole experience seamless and enjoyable every single time.”

“Wonderful cafe/bar in the heart of Chinley Village. Stumbled across it today and will definitely be back. I had a few craft ales but will be back for the food and coffee, looked delicious. Also can't speak highly enough of the staff. Sarah was particularly great.”

“Just got back from a amazing trip to Falklands, South Georgia & Antarctica. I meet Simon two years ago at the Travel Show he helped to make my trip of a lifetime come true, going through all the options available covering everything that I was hoping to cover within the trip. Wildfoot (Sylvia) arranged all my flights and transfer which all went seamless which allowed me to just enjoy the trip. I would recommend Wildfoot Travel to anyone who is considering going to Antarctica.”

“Absolutely brilliant, my 4 month old Springer had an introductory swim here, brilliant interaction from Michelle there with my pup. She loved it there, I'd highly recommend.”

“Absolutely fantastic work!! My dog looks amazing and the staff member who dealt with me and my dog was very clear on what they were going to do. Thank you so much.”

“Not used in the conventional sense but two kind guys from the scout hut helped my son when he was knocked off his motorbike outside the scout hut. They stayed with him until I got there, gave him an ice pack and helped move his bike.”

“I keep being asked how my visit was by Google but I've only ever known this as a pub. It looks fantastic inside. I drank in there from 1986 upto 1995. To turn this into what in guessing is a young child's pool must have been such a gamble but it seems to have been a very clever one. I wonder if such imagination will go into other pubs that close. But please not another takeaway.”

“My girls had a great time! Easy bookings, parking was zero problem and seen to very quickly. The scenery is incredible and even though there's a little café at Pony Patch you can always go to the garden centre next door. Staff are very friendly, all ponies are looked after very well. Outside jungle gym available, indoor bouncy castle and indoor sand pit. Kids can pottery painting and the pony rides are great enough to put a smile on your kids faces. Wheelchair accessible and toilets are in the area.”

“Great place for a walk. Keep in mind that It's a bit muddy this time of year.”

“An absolute gem tucked away with it's own land and great accommodation”

“Had a great walking experience at Alkrington Woods Nature Reserve. Beautiful trails, peaceful surroundings, and plenty of fresh air. It’s a lovely spot to relax, connect with nature, and clear your mind. Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy quiet walks and scenic views!”

“Visited again last week. I absolutely love this place. Hidden gem. Great place to bring teenagers who prefer quiet, young adults who may be anxious and not enjoy the crowds. Can walk around as many times as like and discover all animals. Gorgeous pigs, donkeys, goats and chickens enjoying themselves. There are ping pong tables for a quick out side game, children's play equipment. A river to walk along. A cafe to sit have a snack and drink. Squirrels running up and down the trees. Some animals look like they are rescue animals and are obviously being taken care of by the farm.”

“Great stay at this quiet remote cottage. Good spot for exploring the beaches around the Llyn Peninsula. Very comfortable and has everything you could want. And amazing sunsets!”

“One of Tamesides hidden gems. The main entrance has 2 big open spaces for ball games etc. A young children's play area with a gated sand pit and further up the hill an older children's play area with climbing frames. But the best bit is the public orchard at the top of the hill and the wildlife sanctuary plus a plethora of wild walking paths. Popular with dog walkers (please pick up your dogs waste) and families alike. A good stroll around Cheathams will get the heart pumping and is a joy for the eye. 10/10.”

“Went right from the carpark for a cycle ride. Walked to the canal later Will visit again and cycle left. Love these old rail track rides. I'm very nervous on the roads so this is a fantastic alternative.”

“It's a nice park with a large play area, farm to walk around and plenty of space to play. Ice cream van always seems to be there at the weekend and the cafe is ok albeit a little slow when very busy. Parking can get busy at peak times”

“Stuart gives his whole life to rescuing Animals in need! At his stage in life, to still be working tirelessly, with very little help is to be admired. Please support if you can, donations are always welcomed.”

“Nice park. Lots of things for everyone. Great for dogs, lots of sniff spots and places to run. Park entrance needs a bit of tidying up though if anything.”

“Awesome place for a walk and to see some top railway history really nice area.”

“I am a research student at University of Bolton. And this university has outstanding faculty. All of the people here are so friendly. The environment in here is amiable. I love my uni. ❤️”

“My children have been going to Wild Space (weekly) for a couple of years now and show no signs of wanting to stop, which with a teen to please is testament itself to how great Wild Space Forest School is! Trudy is a fantastic leader and the whole place has a lovely welcoming, friendly vibe as well as a beautiful position conveniently placed in the heart of beautiful Diggle. Throughly recommend.”

“Joe is a wonderful speaker. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and makes learning great fun. His animals are super chilled and healthy. Looking forward to seeing you again Joe.”

“Really brilliant location, lovely staff! Great freedom for little ones!”

“I am so happy that I found Forest Feet! My son started in September and has loved every moment being there. As a first time mum and the parent of a SEN child it was quite nerve wrecking to find a nursery that would suit my sons free spirited nature as well as give him everything he needed for his development. Nikita is such a kind hearted and loving individual who has a real passion for children to develop in an environment and ethos that promotes self-esteem, creativity, confidence and independence. She leads her team in this ethos and has some amazing staff in the nursery. Nikita has worked tirelessly to create and adapt to my sons needs which has been an immense support to not only him but myself also. The nursery compromises of an indoor space with a Montessori layout where children can learn and play independently. The outdoor area is wonderful with various activities for the children where they can freely explore and play within nature. If you are looking for somewhere that allows your child to grow holistically at their own pace with the loving support of great individuals then this is the place for you!”
