#HammockTakeover Manchester was a success

Yesterday Simply Hammocks visited Manchester City Centre on a covert mission, to brighten up the concrete jungle with our colourful hammocks - yes, it was time to launch #HammockTakeover!

It went down a storm and the people of Manchester were elated, partly because the weather held out, allowing many commuters, the homeless and shoppers to stop and relax amongst the busy hustle and bustle.

The hammocks were donated to the city and we hoped they would stay up for longer than they did. Unfortunately, the council removed them, but it is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. Without making the bold move I think it would have been an immediate no anyway!

Millions of people saw the hammocks, in person and over social media as the topic hit the local news with a bang. We are now planning our next location, due to the overwhelming success, question is - where should we visit next? For more pictures visit our social media page.
