About Audit Room
16 Boardroom
16 Banquet
20 Standing / Reception
The Audit Room sits at the heart of Chetham's Library, where the College Warden once retreated to his private study centuries ago. Today, this intimate wood-panelled chamber welcomes up to 16 guests for boardroom meetings or private dinners beneath its ornate plasterwork ceiling, unchanged since the 1600s. Running your hand along the oak refectory table, you'll find curious burn marks that local legend attributes to Dr. John Dee's alchemical experiments. Whether fact or folklore, these scars add character to a room already rich with stories. The original timber ceiling rises above period panelling, while tall windows frame views of Manchester's medieval architecture, flooding the space with natural light that catches the warm tones of the wooden floors and walls. We've carefully integrated modern touches without disturbing the room's historic atmosphere. High-speed Wi-Fi keeps you connected, while our flatscreen TV and projector handle presentations smoothly. The antique furnishings remain functional, creating a workspace where 17th-century craft meets 21st-century needs. Corporate groups often book the Audit Room for strategy sessions and team meetings, finding that the scholarly atmosphere encourages focused discussion. Private dining here feels particularly special, with candlelight reflecting off the dark wood as conversation flows around that storied table. During breaks, we can arrange library tours, letting your guests explore where Marx and Engels once debated their theories. Victoria Station lies just a short walk away through the Medieval Quarter, with hotels and restaurants nearby for those travelling from further afield. For reception-style gatherings, we can accommodate 20 guests, though the room feels most comfortable with smaller groups who appreciate the rare opportunity to work or dine in what remains one of Manchester's most atmospheric historic spaces.
