Meeting and event planners will soon have another team building option for delegates in the centre of Manchester.
Plans have just been approved to construct an inland surfing lagoon on a brownfield site off Barton Dock Road in Trafford Park, close to MediaCityUK.
The project - Modern Surf Manchester - will be suitable for beginners, learners and professionals alike.
Designs for the lagoon also feature bar and restaurant facilities and other attractions including a fitness zone and exercise areas.
Modern Surf Manchester will be within easy travelling distance of central Manchester. It could be open by 2023 if all goes to plan.
