The curved glass wall that wraps around the Lower Quays room catches every shift in Manchester's waterfront light. From sunrise meetings to sunset celebrations, this space transforms with the day, offering something different each time you visit. We've hosted everything here, from wedding breakfasts where guests linger over coffee just to watch the water, to milestone birthdays that spill onto the quayside for pre-dinner drinks. The room holds 65 seated comfortably around our round tables, or opens up for 100 standing when you want people mingling with champagne in hand. The wooden floors warm up the contemporary space, while geometric light fixtures cast interesting patterns as evening falls. We've kept the colour palette neutral, letting the river views and natural light do the heavy lifting. Those floor-to-ceiling windows mean your photographer will thank you, and your guests won't need to step outside for their Instagram moments. Our technical setup handles whatever you throw at it. The projector and flatscreen TV work brilliantly for presentations, while the PA system means your speeches carry to every corner. Wi-Fi runs throughout, though we find people spend less time on their phones when there's water to watch. Catering works however suits you best. Our kitchen team can create anything from formal three-course dinners to relaxed buffets, handling halal, kosher, vegan and gluten-free requirements without fuss. Prefer your own caterer? No problem. We've seen some fantastic food trucks pull up in our free parking spaces. Exchange Quay tram stop sits just outside, making arrival simple for everyone. The space adapts beautifully whether you're planning a cabaret-style setup for 20 or theatre seating for 40. Each configuration makes the most of those waterfront views that make Lower Quays genuinely special.
