Social Activities

A group of people sit around a table at a restaurant, enjoying pizza and drinks while chatting. Plates and utensils are scattered across the table as they take part in lively social activities.
The image shows a green logo with the words "smile adventures." The word "smile" has a curved line resembling a smile under its "m," reflecting the joy of social activities and shared experiences.

There is always something exciting going on at IH Manchester!

Social activities are available during the week and an excursion in the Manchester area runs on Saturdays. Social activities help you to quickly and easily make friends. We will also help you to explore Manchester. You can also practise your English outside of the classroom.
We know that everybody doesn’t always like to do the same things, so we always offer a choice of activities.
Participating in social activities helps you to improve your spoken English fluency and increase your vocabulary. Some activities are arranged and accompanied by IH Manchester staff, some are suggested independent activities.
No refund can be given following payment for a social activity.

Trips with "Smile Adventures"

Many of our full day/ half day excursions are organised and supervised by “Smile Adventures”. IH Manchester staff do not usually accompany students on these excursions.
On the morning of a “Smile Adventures” excursion students are collected from a Manchester city centre meeting point and returned there at the end of the trip. During the excursion, students will be allowed time to independently explore the location they are visiting in small groups, usually for approximately 2 hours. During this time students will not be directly supervised by “Smile Adventures” staff and will be required to return to an agreed meeting point at an agreed time.
