Having done 3 days at the centre with school for gcse pe my teen son and friend were keen to come back to improve some of their scores. We booked with Tony who was fab, really knowledgeable, gave great advice and really helped them both. I was really in impressed by the range of different walls/ height, difficulty rating etc. Something there to suit all ages and abilities. My son is already itching to come back. Great experience!

Chads Theatre was founded just after the First World War as Cheadle Hulme Amateur Dramatics Society, performing in different venues in the Cheadle Hulme area. In October 1959 the members opened their own premises and have continued to develop the Theatre ever since, providing a first class venue for its members and patrons. In 1982 the name officially changed to Chads Theatre Company. Chads Theatre has a wardrobe department with costumes available for hire to other theatres and to also the general public.

We visit this theatre on a relatively regular basis. The quality of the performances are usually above average and the venue is a reasonable size with comfortable seating, pleasant bar area and free parking a few yards away.

As a regular annual attendee to the Carver for the January Pantomime I just wanted to ensure that there was a current review on Trip Advisor. The Carver is a really splendid local facility, small and compact with comfortable seats and a good sound system. Just idea for creating an excellent atmosphere for the Panto. I'm fairly sure it was completely sold out this year, so get in early with your ticket requests for next year. As for the latest production The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. I feel it was the best yet, even if I was singled out by Dame Betty (yes, I am THAT 'Jeffrey' from the first night). Anyway, as a grandparent to one of your stars of the show it's very moving to have watched, previously nervous children, mature into confident young actors and actresses, over just a very short period. So the dedication of the Production team and all the help behind the scenes really shines through. It was obvious that the cast were loving the performance throughout and it's fair to say that 100% of the audience thoroughly enjoyed the show too. A just reward for all the long hours of very hard work and rehearsals, and good to see a few more boys involved this year. Very well done to all of the team and cast and wishing you all well on the last night. Looking forward to the next production!

moviESCAPE is Stockport's premier movie themed escape rooms. Built and designed by a team of filmmakers, our escape rooms are designed to put you inside the movies.
Reviewed By SeanEvans91 - Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom
Today we visited MoviESCAPE and it's clear to see the venue is run by movie fans who want to bring the magic of the movies into an escape room venue. With theatre style detailed sets the brand new Haunted House II: Demon's Curse maze was intriguing and immersive with a great use of special effects and some thought-provoking puzzles. Whilst it wasn't particularly scary (hence being targeted at ages 12+) the maze provided that immersion into the story and special effects certainly added towards that atmosphere. Almost like a Disney / indie horror crossover at times it was great fun to be inside the room and whilst we didn't escape in the time allotted there was only two of us attempting the room. One puzzle did throw us completely off but the rather cool way of getting a hint and the way in which the hint was delivered was almost pushing me to ask for help on every puzzle as the audio replies gelled with the room so effortlessly. Detailed, immersive and great fun! Would definitely revisit again as the Merlin and Sherlock rooms both look absolutely stunning, i'm a big sucker for theming and other than the more simplistic Meth Lab escape room the other rooms were spot on in detail and immersion.

Reviewed By sophiabX7351QA
This was our second visit to X-Genvr. The first time we booked the private room and this time we booked an hour in the arcade - mum, dad and 2 kids aged 8 and 10. This was a surprise for my sons 11th birthday! The kids absolutely loved this place last time, and our second visit did not disappoint! We had ample time to go on whatever we wanted to, the games were amazing (the bikes and the roller-coaster are a must!!) and the staff were yet again brilliant at making sure we got the best out of our time there. The kids had an unbelievable time, and must have thanked us 100 times for taking them back. We'll definitely be returning!

The plaza theatre is under continuous refurbishment, after being used for quite a few years by Mecca bingo. Many of the original features of the building ( from 1932 ) are still there. Very good guided tour by volunteers, Peter and the rest, took us backstage, dressing rooms, projection area. Afternoon teas, and various light menu can be had in the cafe, Monday to Saturday 10-00/4-00. The theatre is again thriving with all types of shows, from musicals, comedy, dance etc. Went by coach so no problem, but not easy to find parking nearby. Pay/ display on road outside (limited spaces) Main parking top of hill, 200 yrs away. Monthly tours of the plaza £7, Plaza cafe, prices from£5-50 to £16-50 for full afternoon tea. Worth a visit for your, or theater shows. Lovely theatre.
