About Reception Area
50 Banquet
70 Standing / Reception
50 Cabaret
Seven floors above Manchester's bustling streets, our Reception Area transforms private gatherings into something extraordinary. This semi-private space wraps guests in natural light through floor-to-ceiling windows, while Manchester's skyline creates an ever-changing backdrop that shifts from golden hour warmth to glittering city lights. We've designed this space to flow naturally between different event styles. For standing receptions, we accommodate up to 70 guests who can move freely between the plush blue and yellow seating areas and the open spaces perfect for mingling. The cabaret-style setup works beautifully for 50 seated guests, particularly when you want everyone focused on presentations or performances while still maintaining that relaxed party atmosphere. Contemporary artwork lines the walls, creating conversation pieces throughout the room. Above, suspended greenery brings an unexpected natural element to this urban eyrie, softening the modern lines while adding visual interest. The space feels both polished and inviting, sophisticated without being stuffy. Our location on Deansgate puts you at the heart of Manchester's energy, with transport links making arrival simple for all your guests. Inside, practical touches ensure everything runs smoothly: reliable Wi-Fi keeps everyone connected, air conditioning maintains comfort regardless of the weather, and our flatscreen TV handles any presentation needs. The Reception Area works particularly well for birthday celebrations where you want something more refined than a typical party venue. Corporate groups appreciate how the space transitions from professional presentations to relaxed networking as our bartenders serve bespoke cocktails alongside carefully selected canapés. The semi-private nature means you maintain your own atmosphere while still feeling part of Sora's vibrant energy. Our lift access to all floors ensures every guest can join the celebration comfortably. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or using the full capacity, this versatile space adapts to create exactly the atmosphere you're after.
