Kid's musical theatre in Manchester

“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!”

“Last night's show was well presented it involved children of all ages and abilities who all displayed confidents.”

“Titfield Thunderbolt Matinee - fantastic show - exceptionally professional -just a plea for air con. we were melting!”

“Beautiful location. First class show and amazing volunteers running the theatre.”

“Brilliant summer camp, very well organised. My son really enjoyed it. Thanks to Chanel who was great throughout!”

“I cannot recommend Stagecoach enough - we had a wonderful experience during the summer holidays where we joined the workshop for Revolting Children from Matilda. I was put at ease straight away when Ceri welcomed us and reassured me the children will have fun and will be well looked after, having never left my children anywhere I was anxious. Once I picked them up my mind was put at rest immediately and our boys wanted to go back the following day and go earlier. The work all of the children produced was to a very high standard and this was all rehearsed in less than a week. Stagecoach workshop had such a positive huge impact on both of my sons to the point where we have now joined up for their next term, we are literally on countdown for when the term starts. We cannot wait for the next production, which will be the Christmas show! Thank you Stagecoach Team ☺️”

“Good nursery with very nice people looking nicely after our son who is always need and clean, started saying some words during the little time he has been with WOW KIDS very wonderful and kindly staffs.”

“Laura choreographed our wedding dance for us and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! We loved every second of learning the dance at Laura’s beautiful dance school and it was amazing to be able to show the dance to our friends and family on the wedding day. It was really special for Laura to choreograph our dance as I’m an ex student of Laura’s. We would highly recommend Laura for all of your dancing needs whether you’re looking for wedding dance classes, adult classes or classes for your child.”

“My little girl came to Dawson’s, lacking confidence and not wanting me to leave the room, Miss Niomi was brilliant with her so patient, and now she enjoys dancing so much and even went on stage in front of hundreds of people for the show . Highly recommend and a million thanks to Niomi as she wouldn’t have done it without you ❤️”

“I cannot recommend BSA enough! Since joining BSA 16 years ago, I am still a part of the family now. It is a dance school where confidence is built and friends are made for life. With amazing teachers and opportunities, it is no wonder I couldn’t wait to go back and join adult tap. If you’re thinking about sending your child to dance, there really is nowhere better than Bates Stage Academy!”

“Corey has been a member of Stage and Screen since March when he joined part way through the rehearsals for The Sound of Music having been cast as the role of Max. We honestly can not speak highly enough of Sophie and Matt and all the staff at Stage and screen. They have nurtured and encouraged Corey to be the best he can be on stage whilst making every weekly session enjoyable. The end of year performance of The Sound of Music was just amazing, super professional with great casting and so much talent! I would also like to add that Corey has made a great group of new friends who have the same common interest and champion/encourage eachother along the way. Corey absolutely loves going to rehearsals and can not wait to be part of the next show Legally Blonde whilst also being part of the stage and screen community. I can not thank you enough for giving Corey a great platform to continue his love of performing in musical theatre.”

“Just been to watch 'Everyone's talking about Jamie'. Wow, just wow. What a brilliant production. I cried, properly cried and I turned to my friend who was also crying. The acting capability was outstanding. The venue, lovely, small and perfectly adequate. Never been to a show at the Playhouse before, but would 100% return. What an amazing night watching some talented young and older actors.”

“I've just returned from watching the show at RNCM, my 2 granddaughters were dancing today, I just wanted to say thank you for putting on a truly amazing show, I felt privileged to be able to watch such an amazing spectacle of dancing and music, the story resonated with every parent/grandparents, it was a truly beautiful performance from all ,thankyou xxx”

“Great venue for gigs. Reminds me of a mini Manchester academy. Will definitely watch more bands here. Beer prices 4.70”

“It's a nice little place, if you want to take your little one or have any apointment depending on what, receptionist is very nice & friendly, super welcoming.”

“Visited while staying in Manchester with my daughter & grandchildren. Introduction of a lovely little cafe with seating is a bonus”

“Love how this is a proper pub for adults. Love how Maggie and Karl are so welcoming when I occasionally take my autistic kid. We really appreciate how you mix things up a bit for us. Alex especially loves Debs and Kerry. Big thanks to you all xxx”

“DOMINIC WILL LOOK AFTER YOU! Pizza was lovely, cheesy dough balls were great. Everything was tasty and hot. Our server was Dominic, he was very helpful, friendly and polite. He offered good service and supported us with the app! Would definitely come back again.”

“My son has been attending J star academy for 3 months now and honestly I have found the whole experience with him amazing. I have seen his confidence grow and watching the recent performance put together with the acamdemy brought a lot of happiness. Highly recommend this academy for parents looking for activities with their young ones.”

“So pleased I've discovered the atmosphere bar. Located within the university house this is the university's main SU bar but also well used by Peel Park visitors. The bar is located on the first floor of the building and is easily missed if you don't know it's there. Once inside there are three distinct and different parts of the bar. Firstly the main bar and largest space is like a sports bar with plenty of screens to watch live sporting events. Secondly, there is a games bar with pool tables and retro arcade games and darts. Thirdly there is a mezzanine floor which carries a whole different decor and vibe. Much more intermate and lounge like you can easily find your own space to work or have a private drink. I didn't sample the food but it appeared to be very good value for money. The beer selection was excellent and very well priced. £3.80 for a pint of Guinness and £3.70 for a pint of Madri. The Guinness was excellent too. When I'm next in Peel Park I'll certainly pay a visit to Atmosphere.”

“My daughter has been going for a couple of years now, Steffi is amazing, I've never met anyone that can bring a child out of their shell so easily... Fun and frolics with a soft side of seriousness. Couldn't recommend sparkles more. Xxx”
