Event
Tours
These
aren’t just the usual tours but have an added extra
ingredient to really make the experience memorable. We aim
to keep guests on the edge of their coach seats or on the
tips of the toes. Some of the tours involve actors, some involve
music, some involve taking part in sports, some involve big
bangs! The tours can be as long or short as you want them
and, as always, are tailored exactly to meet your requirements.
General
Tour
An introduction to the region and its unique character. General
tours are offered for Manchester, Liverpool, Chester, Cheshire,
the Peak District, the Lake District, Lancashire Witch Country
and the North Wales’ castles and coastline.
Partner
Programme tours
Gameplan has long experience in organising partner programmes
including guided visits to stately homes and art galleries
such as Lyme Park, Speke Hall, Chatsworth House, Manchester
Art Gallery and the Walker Art Gallery with tea or pub stops
thrown in. Contact us and we will provide the perfect day
away from the conference venue.
Ale
Trail
A guided ramble around an A-Z of Manchester, Liverpool or
Chester pubs. We look at the amusing story of drinking and
pubs whilst partaking of your favourite tipple be it real
ale or mineral water. The tour can be brought alive by actors
in Victorian costume acting out some of the more remarkable
stories. You also win local specialities in our dipsomaniac
quiz.
Smart
Cities
This tour is ideal for those who like to dress up and enjoy
the top bars and clubs in town. Manchester and Liverpool have
great see-and-be-seen venues and this could be your opportunity
to sample the best cocktails with the local A-list crowd.
Ghost
Tours
Manchester, Chester and Liverpool are full of ghost stories.
Gameplan offer customised terror in all of these cities. We
will make your hair stand on end as we visit dark nooks and
crannies with ‘ghosts’ poised to leap out.
Ticket
to Ride - The Beatles Tour of Liverpool
From ages eight to eighty there is a little piece of Beatles’
music in everybody’s life. Discover the remarkable story
behind the greatest super group of them all in this two and
a half hour of the Beatles’ Liverpool. There are frequent
stops to allow photographs to be taken plus, if required,
sing-a-longs, games and a quiz with prizes.
The
Manchester Rock Tour
A rock and rollercoaster around the city centre and suburbs
of Manchester visiting the sites associated with the bands
and songs that have put the city on top of the world’s
playlists. Bands include The Hollies, Herman’s Hermits,

The Fall, The Smiths, James, Simply Red, The Stone Roses,
The Inspiral Carpets, Happy Mondays, Take That and Oasis.
Beyond
the Street - Coronation Street Tour
Coronation Street is a TV institution. Unfortunately the street
set has been closed to the public so with this tour we take
a look at the many locations that have been used off-set.
The tour includes activities, script readings and, if you’re
lucky, an opportunity for guests to meet a street star.
This
Sporting Region
The North West is at the centre of sports in Britain. Take
an informative and humorous tour of the region’s sporting
traditions including visits, as required, to Manchester United,
Manchester City, Liverpool, Everton, the National Football
Museum at Preston, Lancashire Cricket Club, the famous golf
courses of Royal Birkdale, Lytham St Annes and so on.
