Sixes Cricket Manchester, Whole Venue

I booked Sixes as we were seeking an all-in-one event space, caterer and social team activity and had been frustrated by the lack of agility and seemingly unreasonable charges from other such businesses in central Manchester. Whilst our event was far from unique, we did have a specific set of requests from arrival time and organising the space in a certain way to ensuring that we could deliver the presentation in our preferred format and I'm pleased to say that prior to the day the Sixes company events manager Dan was responsive and reassuring and on the day of the event the venue manager Grace was an absolute star. The Sixes team on duty in Manchester were very attentive and proficient and dealt with our specifically timed agenda and logistics with confidence and assurance. The venue was just perfect for our informal AV presentation interspersed with interactive demonstrations and couldn't have worked any better. We then moved from the open planned space into the games room for food and games before heading back to the nets for Social Cricket. The food was simply great, a choice of a Burger or Pizza with countless options for toppings and suchlike (which we had pre-ordered ahead of the day and the venue were able to accommodate vegan, gluten free and intolerances) and everybody enjoyed it. The whole team at Sixes worked hard to bring the food from the kitchen to the room ensuring it was hot and fresh and we had no complaints. After eating and a couple of drinks from the extensive drinks menu we moved to the nets to play Cricket in the simulator. A mix of ages and experience was met with enthusiasm by all and the experience on offer is miles away from the traditional automatic bowling machines of old. You stand in front of a large digital screen with a small rectangle in it and as the bowler approaches and delivers a speed and type of ball of your choosing through the hole (you can even select famous bowlers and specifically simulated world cup cricket overs,) it's excellent and great fun! Overall, I couldn't recommend the venue highly enough. The attitude and effort of the duty manager Grace and her dedicated team are a credit to the Sixes brand and the venue itself is a well-thought out and designed space offering the perfect blend of function and fun. Highly recommended for the experience that we had and should the opportunity arise to be in Manchester again seeking a venue for such an event we wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Absolutely incredible service! We had the best day ever. The batting cage was so fun and being able to change the difficulty levels for each person was a fantastic idea! Niall was amazing, so friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious I enjoyed the make your own pizza and the flaming candy floss, what a rush! Cocktails were unique and tasty too. Cannot fault it

Booked for 5.45 but didn’t get in the actual cricket until 6. Roasting hot and air con wasn’t working but the heating was on full blast in the toilets . iPad ran out of charge which runs the game , machine ran out of balls. The whole thing seems a bit tired and in need of refresh
