With the Christmas holidays around the corner, the team at Virtual Hideout want to tell you what we like to do in Manchester during the winter months!

Obviously, our favourite thing to do is play a VR session! With our new and improved dual headset rooms, players can play with and against each other on multiplayer games. Some of our favourite multiplayer games are Elven Assassin and Beat Saber - but we get pretty competitive, so be warned!

On our days off, we will also head over to our sister company, Breakout Manchester, and try to break out of their escape rooms. Their rooms range in difficulty and each one has a different theme, so there is something for everyone!

As we are located in the Northern Quarter, one of Manchester’s most popular districts, we are surrounded by amazing bars and restaurants. We are grateful to work so close to Northern Soul which has delicious mac and cheese dishes, as well as Pieminster which we are right next to! Just a few doors down, you can find Bird & Blend Tea Co. for an eco-conscious brew, or head across the street to Black Dog Ballroom for a pint and a game of pool!

One must-see attraction during winter in Manchester is our world-famous Christmas markets! Spread over the city centre, you'll find a plethora of beautifully festive stalls offering all your favourite food and drink to fill you with delicious Christmas cheer! Piccadilly Gardens is just a stone's throw away from us at Virtual Hideout and will be transformed into the magnificent Winter Gardens over the Christmas period - you definitely won't want to miss it!
