Other indoor attractions include ten pin bowling, laser games, ice skating and water fun at Pavilions Fun pool where you can ride flumes, enjoy the wave machine, Jacuzzi and even an indoor beach.

Taking a walk along the old cobbled streets you will find plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants.  There are many specialty shops of galleries and craft workshops for you to enjoy.

Business is booming in Plymouth with many new businesses in the area. Starting a business can be a very daunting prospect and with expert help most businesses go bust with in the first few years. You may also need some financial assistance, which is where Business Angels might be the right move for you. Angels are often from an entrepreneurial background, and are willing to invest their own capital into a business to help it achieve its growth plans. Unlike banks and other forms of lending, the Angel will invest in your company in return for a percentage share, or equity stake. On top of this they will provide you with their own industry knowledge, expertise and contacts, in order to further help your growth in the market. With this hands on approach by the investor, it is important that a good relationship is developed between you and the Business Angel, as they look to secure a good return on their investment. Individually, Angels are normally willing to invest between £75,000 and £250,000, but if they operate as part of syndicate then this figure could easily be higher.
