About Manchester Art Gallery
We welcome you to Manchester Art Gallery, where Victorian grandeur meets contemporary elegance right in the city centre. Our building's neoclassical Greek revival architecture creates an impressive first impression, while inside you'll discover a fascinating mix of period features and modern amenities that make every event here truly special. Our Victorian Hall serves as the centrepiece for larger gatherings - its soaring ceilings and ornate details create an atmosphere perfect for wedding receptions, product launches, or networking events. For more intimate occasions, we offer our contemporary glass Atrium, flooded with natural light, and our Gallery Café, which transforms beautifully for private parties and smaller celebrations. Whether you're planning a conference, board meeting, or seminar, our meeting spaces deliver both functionality and inspiration. Each room features screens, projectors, and reliable Wi-Fi, while large windows ensure plenty of natural light throughout your working day. Our lecture hall adapts to various layouts - theatre style, cabaret, or boardroom configuration - depending on your needs. For weddings and civil ceremonies, we provide a remarkable backdrop of pre-Raphaelite masterpieces and centuries of artistic heritage. Couples often tell us their wedding photos among our art collections become treasured keepsakes. Our experienced events team works closely with you to create the day you've envisioned, handling every detail with care. Our award-winning in-house catering team crafts everything from elegant canapés to full three-course banquets using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. We design menus around your preferences and dietary requirements, ensuring every guest enjoys their meal. Being in central Manchester means your guests can reach us easily via public transport, with parking facilities nearby for those driving. When you book with us, you're also supporting our mission to keep great art accessible to everyone in our community.
