“Very great experience. Alexandra park is very family friendly and the air is also very clean. There are hiking paths. Car park. A cafe for quick bites with lots of attractions for both adults and kids.”

“The teachers are brilliant, and it's a great little swimming school!”

“Nice clean facilities..great staff..warm environment... Also gym, sauna too etc 10/10”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Just wanted to thank Meghan from Swim Oldham – I honestly have no words to express my gratitude. The way she managed my little one during his very first swimming lesson was mind-blowing. Without her support, it simply wouldn’t have been possible. I am truly grateful to her and can’t thank her enough!”

“The recption staff were extremely professional & welcoming. We especially enjoyed our evening in the Filament lounge where the staff again were attentive & friendly, especially Migel & Anandhu. The food was excellent & even took into account personal choice in regards to additional spice. 10/10”

“Watched my granddaughter play basketball here. They are well equipped and fit for purpose. Ample parking. If anything, I would have liked a brew! Only a vending machine unfortunately.”

“Fantastic venue! We used this for the street comp, a stones throw from the bus station and a huge carpark next to the centre it's perfect for the commute by public transport or your own, we had the mini bus outside , it was a brill day and the hall was perfect for what we needed.”

“Such a fun atmosphere great for all the family even do kids parties if booked in advance. Fab facilities worth a visit. I was never a gym person till I started there 5years ago made some lovely friends”

“Great facilities steam room and sauna are nice and clean. However mixed changing rooms is a big concern where is all the safety gone for our kids”

“Best Barbers in Royton. Owner is soo friendly as are all the staff. Always give me a great haircut and nice chat.”

“Beautiful scenery, there were a little rocky/sandy beach too. Lovely day out. We walked about 5 miles. It has ups and downs, so the surface is not flat which we liked. There was a pay and display carpark but the security didn't let us in as it was full. We parked up the road. Free of charge. Went in beginning of August.”

“Country park in Royton with toilets, picnic areas, playground and cafe (only open weekends which is a shame) There's a largish car park but also parking on the approach road (if there's space).Lots of routes that are colour coded. Some are quite steep but if you have the strength to push a pram/wheelchair uphill the trails are wide and in good condition - mainly tarmac or hardcore. There are plenty of narrower trails off these for the more adventurous.”

“The best pub in the area! Great food and beer.”

“Daisy Nook is a lovely countryside escape tucked away in Oldham, just outside the city buzz of Manchester. It offers a peaceful mix of woodlands, canals, walking trails, and open green spaces — perfect for a quiet stroll, family outing, or even a bit of photography. The paths are well-maintained, and there’s a calm, relaxed atmosphere all around. There’s also a small café near the entrance for a coffee or snack after a walk. A great spot to reconnect with nature without going too far from town.”

“Really good park, well kept with a great play area for little ones. Nice to have a tennis court and kick pitch too.”

“Absolutely love Strinesdale foot paths and 2 large Reservoir's that allow fishing. It also has free parking and is that vast of a space you can walk round it and not bump in to anyone. Strinesdale also has a few picnic areas and amazing views out to the Pennines. There are 3 different routes you can take for that casual stroll or if you are looking to explore of the beat and track you can end up right in the hills and come out at a little farm house. All in all this is one of my favourite places to walk my dog and would recommend it to anyone.”

“We turned up as a party of 5, late notice on a Sunday evening after a long drive from the West Country. Despite the kitchen about to close, the lady who served us was extremely accommodating and we were soon served with absolutely lovely Sunday roast dinners; delicious food and plenty of it, nothing was too much trouble. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Lovely atmosphere and a nice clean and friendly pub.”

“Absolutely brilliant night, first class entertainment and landlady so welcoming and helpfull everyone extremely thoughtfull and one very kind gentleman bought my wife and I a drink even though we had only just met. Lovely down to earth people can't wait to go again.”

“This is a GEM! One of my happy places. The grounds are very well maintained and it's a delight to walk around.”

“Lovely place to stop off after a long walk and dog friendly great selection of food and cakes and very friendly people”

“Had a couple of beers here on a Friday evening. The guest beer was in great condition and the bar staff were really friendly. Plenty of parking next to the pub. Sports were being shown on multiple screens. Would recommend and visit again.”

“The BEST swim school EVER. Both of my children attend this swim school and have since being babies. My little boy swam a length aged 3 and this is down to the amazing teachers, facilities and lesson structures. Above all, Dolphin promote water safety and encourage your child to learn life saving skills from the baby stage. Couldn’t recommend Dolphin enough. Amazing.”

“My daughter has been with Dolphin Babies/Academy for almost 2 years now, from being scared of water and screaming at the sight of the pool to now swimming 50 metres unaided, diving and progressing up through 3 stages. Amanda has been the best instructor ever, shes now like family to us, my little girl adores her and looks forward to her weekly lessons. I can’t recommend or thank the team enough for their constant professionalism, patience and skill!”

“What an amazing team! My son had his 5th birthday party here last Friday, he had the most amazing time, the staff were all really attentive, and friendly, nothing was too much trouble for them. Highly recommend Sparkles for any child’s party”

“Always have a good night in here, there is live entertainment on a Friday and karaoke on a Saturday, may people enter as strangers but leave as friends.”

“Great, especially now they've sorted out the pool.”

“Excellent venue for swimming, pool and lockers in excellent condition, staff were cleaning everything before we entered the pool area.”
