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 BeeGees, 10CC, The Buzzcocks, Joy Division/New Order, 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.
