About Event Area
100 Banquet
150 Standing / Reception
50 Cabaret
Two AA Rosettes grace our kitchen here at Podium, where Executive Chef Dave Ashton crafts seasonal menus that transform into unforgettable party experiences. Our Event Area sits within the Beetham Tower on Deansgate, its floor-to-ceiling windows framing Manchester's skyline while flooding your celebration with natural light. We've hosted countless milestone birthdays in this space, watching as 150 guests raise glasses during cocktail receptions, or settling 100 friends and family around beautifully dressed tables for anniversary dinners. The room's high ceilings create an airy atmosphere that works equally well for lively product launches or intimate wedding celebrations. Black leather seating lines the walls, offering comfortable spots for guests to catch up between dancing, while the patterned carpet and wooden accents add warmth to the contemporary design. Our bar team pours everything from local craft beers to classic cocktails, with several English sparkling wines that pair particularly well with Chef Ashton's robust, inventive dishes. During parties, we adapt our service style to match your vision, whether that's elegant canapés circulating through the crowd or a seated dinner showcasing the best of our seasonal menu. The built-in PA system handles speeches and background music effortlessly, while air conditioning keeps everyone comfortable even when the dance floor fills up. Corporate celebrations often make use of our cabaret setup for 50, perfect for awards evenings or team celebrations where presentation screens complement the festivities. The space flows naturally, allowing groups to move between mingling areas and dining spaces as the evening evolves. Wheelchair access and lifts to all floors ensure every guest can join the celebration comfortably. Just a short walk from both train station and tram stop, our central Manchester location means your guests can arrive easily and, perhaps more importantly, get home safely after a night of celebration.
