Parents looking for new, fun things to do with the kids this summer can now add Flight Club and Electric Shuffle to the list as the competitive socialising venues announce the launch of kids’ summer sessions.
The Social Darts and shuffleboard bars are each welcoming tweens and teens aged 12 and up throughout the summer to get in on the action and play alongside the adults. Both ideal family activities with a difference, including the added element of some good old family rivalry to up the stakes.
Flight Club
Flight Club’s Social Darts brings camera-tracked scoring and big-screen replays to a classic game of darts, reimagined for the 21st century. There are seven games to choose from, including the newest addition, Limbo – a Social Darts take on the party classic, where players must score lower than the previous player’s throw to stay in the game. The venues themselves lean into a fun fairground aesthetic, complete with signature fairground lights and a carousel horse.
When:Sunday–Friday, 10am–4:30pm
Where: Flight Club, 98 King Street, Manchester M2 4WU
Electric Shuffle
Electric Shuffle’s high-tech shuffleboard uses the same smart camera tracking to keep score automatically – no arguments over who won. Two brand-new games have just launched across its venues globally, taking its roster to six: Studio 21, the shuffleboard equivalent of Blackjack, and The Edge, a test of nerve that rewards players for landing their puck as close to the edge as possible without falling off. Interiors play on retro 70s vibes, with musical influences running throughout.
When: Every Sunday, 10am–4:30pm
Where: Electric Shuffle, 201 Deansgate, Manchester M3 3NW
Groups with children at Flight Club and Electric Shuffle will play in a dedicated area, so everyone gets a great game without treading on the toes of adult groups elsewhere in the venue.
If you’d like to experience a family session, for yourself or someone on the team, let me know and we’ll get it booked in.
