Linzi Allcock and friend

If a date night is on the cards, then Chill Factore is a great way for couples to jump out of their comfort zone and try something new. So if you’re planning your next date night or your stuck for places to go in Manchester then look no further! Listen up for our top four date night ideas right here at Chill Factore.

Why Chill Factore is perfect for a date night

Whether you’re after first date ideas or planning a date night for your other half, you might be tempted to take them to a fancy restaurant or a trip to the cinema. Both are tried and tested options, but they won’t score you many brownie points for originality.

For something a little unconventional and definitely more memorable, is a trip to Chill Factore. If you are both adrenaline junkies or simply looking for some fun, we offer a whole host of activities that will do just the job. In this article, we’ve picked our top five top date night ideas to give you some inspiration next time you’re on the search for date night ideas in Manchester.

Our top 4 date night ideas!

  1. Release your inner child with our Snow Park!
  2. Hour Lift Passes and your very own après ski
  3. Beginners to the snow? – who’ll pick up skiing or boarding the quickest?
  4. Enjoy watching your partner being put through their paces!

1. Release your inner child with our Snow Park!

Let’s face it, the likelihood of snow in Manchester is never great. The best you can expect is the odd thin layer, which turns into slush within a day. At Chill Factore, we are the only place in Manchester that guarantees real snow all year round, and a date to our Snow Park is the perfect opportunity to release your inner kid. So why not race each other on the Downhill Donuts or pump up the adrenaline as you slide down our Ice Slide?

To calm down after releasing all your energy in our Snow Park, why not top off your date with a toasty visit to one of our cafes down Alpine Street? Hot chocolate with all the toppings will go down a treat!

3. Hour Lift Passes and your very own après ski

If you and your date are both fully-fledged skiers or boarders then our Lift Passes will give you access to our main slope and you can whiz down as many times as you desire. This is a great opportunity to teach your date a few things that they don’t know or why not prove to each other who has the best skills?

As our main slope is open until late some nights, why not create your very own après ski and enjoy great food and drinks without the need to travel? The Lodge Bar and Kitchen is super-cosy and will allow you to cuddle up and top off an exhilarating date.

4. Beginners to the snow – who will pick up skiing or boarding the quickest?

There’s nothing better than a date with a bit of friendly competition. So why not both learn a new skill and set up a competition – who picks up skiing or snowboarding the quickest? If you win, you can claim the bragging rights for a good few years afterwards (or at least until your next visit!). This date night idea will not only kick off some healthy competition but teach you both a new skill that you can bring you closer together.

5. Enjoy watching your partner being put through their paces!

This last date night idea is for those who would get great satisfaction from watching their date get put through their paces. Why not book them on a beginners ski or snowboarding session or watch them climb our climbing wall whilst you sit back and relax in our viewing gallery with a coffee, hot chocolate, cake –whatever you fancy. Nothing makes you feel warmer than sitting and watching the cold wintery slope!
