“Absolutely amazing dojo to train in, always get a good sweat on, Katsu Sensei is amazing, Anna sensei and all the others are also very well versed in Shotokan karate, I came from a different style all together, but training with the Shuhari Shotokan fam, has now left me at green belt, graded today, 4 belts away from black I think, just amazing !”

“Just attended a 1-day session with my daughter to make a silver ring. Had such a lovely day - Lisa was amazing ... explained everything so clearly and was so kind and patient with everyone. Would definitely recommend”

“Shinka Jujitsu Academy is the perfect place to learn how to defend yourself, grow in confidence, and to improve your physical and mental fitness. Fed up of being intimidated by uncomfortable encounters around the city, I wanted to learn some self-defence and so decided to try Shinka Jujitsu Academy. From the first session, I was immediately made to feel welcome. Instead of walking into the macho, intimidating environment I was worried about (especially as a woman with spaghetti arms!), I was surprised to find a supportive community made up of students of all ages and genders. Dave, or Sensei Dave, uses his decades of jujitsu experience to help students learn and achieve their personal goals- whether it be to compete, gain belts, master self-defence or simply improve their fitness and confidence. Shinka's instructor offers a great blend of discipline, practical training, and patience all packaged with a hint of terrible dad jokes! Thanks to Shinka Jujitsu Academy for helping me gain confidence, as well as improve my asthma and overall fitness! If you want to learn to stand tall, to have the self-confidence to know you can protect yourself, and to have fun whilst doing so, Shinka Jujitsu Academy is the place for you.”

I will forever be grateful to everyone at happyfeet for helping my daughter grow into the confident young lady I always hoped she would be.”

“This was my first time witnessing ballroom in real and live action~ quite frankly, I’ve never experienced anything like it! The atmosphere was incredible! Everyone was so kind, caring, and woven with such genuine passion- I am lost for words! I didn’t even dance, but with every incredibly created dress, dance and character that whizzed past- all coming together with so many stories to tell and to watch unravel, reveal and experience form the sides, through every fleet- pleat and ember- absolutely swooned and took me away in its lift for hours- euphoric! So deeply moving and passionate, as if I was the one dancing with them- it makes you want to just get up and dance! The Quick Quick Slow dance studio alike were very warm and welcoming- even for a newbie like myself who had no idea what to expect- and this goes for competitors alike! I was ushered in and enlightened with how some of the dances were conceived- what moves meant- even how it felt to feel them too; an insight that elevated with every show-stopping event I witnessed! So much encouragement and unreal passion! This has been an experience that I’ve waited to see for years- all the way from little ‘ol Shrewsbury too~ I even awoke the next morning with effervescent dreams of joyous jives and swinging like a serenade under a new lover’s light- ballroom; roaring and revelling in the tunes for hours on end! I’ll definitely be back again! I hope so too. The only downside was that I knew I eventually had to go back home! :)”

“Dave and Andrea are a hardworking, caring helpful couple who are a credit to the community. They took on my daughter for school work experience to help her out, as she has a strong passion for diving & fish, she has ended up completing a open water scuba and dry suit course. They have gone above and beyond to fight her anxiety and have fit in around her crazy gcses schedule for lessons, coursework and the test. They are well prepared for dives & stock everything you need in their shop. New, second hand, rental or buying, they also offer cylinder refills and a service department. They are backed by a fabulous team around them of really nice, helpful guys. They are like a diving family. We have just spent the weekend with them diving at capernwray & they really made us feel like part the family. We met some lovely families and are thrilled with the service we got. We are about to relocate and are gutted we have to start again but they have still offered their services if we need any advice or help. What more could you want?”

“Hsd 2, 12inch pizza and large fries with 2 milkshakes. Food is very good. My milkshakes was watery but when I phoned them up to explain my concern about the milkshakes they promised and delivered 2 10/10 milkshakes. Great service and great food and milkshakes.”

“A charming and cozy little pub that feels refreshingly different from the typical Greene King franchise. The bar staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, engaging in delightful conversation that added a personal touch to our visit. The food was excellent – we tried the sharing platters and were pleasantly surprised by the generous portions and great value. The pub’s Christmas decorations were beautifully done, creating a warm and festive atmosphere that made our experience even more enjoyable. This is easily one of the best Greene King locations we’ve visited locally, and we’ll definitely be returning!”
