Feriehus i Ancoats

You will arrive at the farm - which has wonderful views over the Peak District Hills and Combes Reservoir. We will make sure you are refreshed and give you a short talk on the Alpacas; * how to keep you and your Alpaca safe during the walk * how to put your Alpaca at ease and gain the most from your experience. * the care and husbandry tasks that we provide for our alpacas Whilst we are talking to you, we will match you to the Alpaca which would suit you best. We will then collect "the boys" and go for a walk around our farm - this will be through wooded areas and fields and we will stop along the way to allow you time to pet the Alpacas and get to know them. PLEASE ENSURE YOU WEAR SUITABLE FOOTWEAR. We will stop during the walk for cuddles and photo opportunities. You will be able to feel some of their fleece and if you wish you can collect some alpaca poop if you wish to make some "fertiliser tea" once you return home to help your garden grow! Once the walk has finished, we will have opportunity for more photos and the opportunity to ask questions. You will leave the experience with increased knowledge about these wonderful animals and benefit from some time in their company. There are three alpacas, each visitor will have one alpaca each, if you have a group of more than 3 people, please get in touch. Other things to note Alpacas are friendly animals who have a natural curiosity. They are nervous creatures and can be startled easily so we try and minimise loud noises and quick movement, please ensure long hair is tied back. The alpacas do not like to be drowned in rain - so the experience can be weather dependent.

I will lead you on a culinary journey through Manchester, with up to eight tastings at some of the best food spots across Manchester. These tastings will add up to a big meal (come hungry!). I will reveal some fascinating food and drink stories along the way. From the ice cream families of Little Italy to how our national drink was at the centre of the biggest ever case of industrial espionage! Other things to note If you have any special dietary requirements then please let us know in advance of your tour date.

In this session I invite you to watch me in my kitchen from the comfort of your home as I demonstrate how to cook safely without sight. While I prepare my meal, I’ll share some useful nutritional advice as I explain why I have chosen to use certain ingredients. I will also share helpful tips and tricks on preparing and cooking food without sight. Once the preparation is complete and the meal is cooking, I’ll give you the opportunity to ask any questions you might have about living with sight loss or sports. All you need is internet access and an interest in healthy eating or sports, as well as an open mind. I aim to educate you about how you don’t need sight to live independently, enjoy good food, and be successful. You are of course welcome to cook along with me, but I would prefer it for you just sit back and relax and hopefully learn something new.

We'll meet outside the entrance hall at Manchester Art Gallery. The art gallery is the perfect meeting spot where we’ll spot a few bees in the gallery. I'll explain the significance of the Manchester bee, Industrial Revolution and Cottonoplois. We'll also look at the gorgeous William De Morgan Victorian tiles and Pre-Raphaelite Art. Then we will walk to the Waterhouse Pub to pay homage to the architect Alfred Waterhouse (1830 ~1905) who designed the gothic style masterpiece that is Manchester Town Hall and the incredible bee mosaic floor. Walking around the outside of the Town Hall, as it is being refurbished until 2024, we will walk through Library Walk. Here we can see the cotton flower mosaic floor and spot some more worker bees. Onto "Foundation Coffee House” Whitworth Street, where the workshop will take place for you to make your bee mosaic. All the materials will be provided for you to make your bee. I'll guide you through the mosaic process and technique, sharing my skills and tips on how to make the best bee mosaic. I'm really excited about welcoming you to Manchester, you're going to have the best time. It will be an experience that is unique and I know you'll love. Other things to note No previous experience is needed. This will be an excellent way of meeting new people if you are travelling alone. I'm looking forward to meeting you.

One might think that Manchester is all about Football but, there’s so much more to discover in this amazing City. This is where the Industrial Revolution started, home for many social movements like the Suffragettes, the place where the Communist Manifesto was written, and more than 25 Nobel Prize Winners studied in. Here you will find the First Public English Library of the World and you will be able to see the remnants of the First Passenger Train Station from 1830. Manchester is also a place to discover great music and big names like Joy Division, The Smiths and Oasis. The city underground bars and famous clubs like the Hacienda changed the musical scenario worldwide. Lately Manchester is thriving with more students than ever enjoying the great University of Manchester and everywhere we see new independent bars, shops and cafés that bring a unique feeling into town. I'm so curious about this City and I would love to share my views and the stories I learned here with you. This is a unique experience that will make you travel through time and will give you a new perspective about the Northern Power. Other things to note The start and finishing times are flexible so just message me and we can start at a time that's more convenient for you.
