All the drama of the Olympics.
None of the talent.

Absolutely — that's the whole point. The Almost Olympics is designed for every fitness level. If anything, the less sporty your team, the funnier it gets.

Tell us in advance. The Almost Olympics has roles for everyone — Coach, Judge, Statistician, Herald, Anthem Singer, Head of Ceremonies. We've run events for groups with mixed mobility, accessibility needs, and team members recovering from injuries. More jobs than athletes — by design.

Anywhere from 20 to 200. Larger groups on request.

We run events across Manchester city centre, Salford, and the wider Greater Manchester area.

Pricing starts at £59 per person. Add the Awards Ceremony upgrade (with podium and PA system) for £69 per person. Food, drinks, photography, and venue hire are quoted separately. Get in touch for a tailored quote.

Yes — fully. We work with a handpicked network of caterers to match the vibe of the day. Pizza, food trucks, street food, BBQ, drinks receptions — tell us what your team would enjoy and we'll plug them into the right vendor. One venue, one day, one bill.

We've got it covered. Outdoor venues use weatherproof 3G pitches, and indoor options are available on request.

90 to 120 minutes for the games themselves — depending on group size and whether you've added the Awards Ceremony upgrade. Add food and drinks to build a half- or full-day away-day.

Earlier is better. We're a small, highly organised team running a limited number of events each year — we keep it that way to protect the quality. A small deposit secures your date. Don't wait.

Yes to both. We're fully insured, and RAMS documentation is available on request. We'll send it over with your quote if needed for internal sign-off.

We don't handle catering directly — but our handpicked food partners do, and they're set up for everything. Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, halal, kosher, allergies. Tell us what you need and we'll plug you into the right vendor.

We invoice. A deposit secures your date, with the balance and final numbers due seven days before the event.
