36 Standing / Reception

The Drawing Room at Elizabeth Gaskell's House brings Victorian elegance to life with its carefully preserved period details and warm, intimate atmosphere. We've maintained every element that made this space the heart of the household, from the rich red carpet underfoot to the boudoir grand piano that still graces the corner, ready to fill your ceremony with music. Your guests will gather among authentic Victorian furnishings, where floral drapery frames tall windows that flood the room with natural light. The intricate wallpaper patterns and period décor create a genuine historical setting that photographs beautifully from every angle. We accommodate up to 36 guests comfortably, making this the perfect size for couples who want their closest family and friends to share their special day. One of our favourite moments happens when couples make their entrance down the sweeping staircase, a dramatic Victorian feature that adds real theatre to your ceremony. The room's ground-level location ensures all your guests can access the space easily, with wheelchair access throughout and dedicated parking available on-site. We understand every wedding has its own personality, which is why we offer complete flexibility with your celebrations. You're welcome to bring in your chosen caterer and serve your preferred drinks, allowing you to create exactly the menu you envision. After your ceremony, the entire house opens up for exploration, your wedding party can spill into our other period rooms or step outside into our award-winning south-facing garden for photographs and relaxation. Getting here couldn't be simpler, with excellent public transport links connecting us to Manchester city centre. This blend of historical authenticity and practical accessibility makes the Drawing Room a distinctive choice for couples seeking something beyond the typical wedding venue, a space where literary history meets your own love story.
