About The Wayfarer (NEW.)
80 Standing / Reception
80 Cabaret
Four taps gleam behind the private bar upstairs at our Swan Street venue, including a perfectly poured Guinness that sets the tone for any celebration. We've watched countless parties unfold in this wood-panelled room, from 40th birthdays that stretched into the early hours to corporate gatherings where teams finally let their hair down after months of hard work. The space holds up to 80 guests, whether you're planning a standing reception or prefer cabaret-style seating. Rich leather booths line the walls beneath warm lighting, while marble-topped tables provide elegant spots for guests to gather with their drinks. The fully stocked bar means no one misses the action queuing downstairs, and our bartenders know exactly how to keep the atmosphere flowing. We've set up the room with everything modern events need. The PA system connects seamlessly to Spotify, or bring your own DJ equipment to keep the dance floor moving. A projector and screen handle presentations or photo slideshows, while reliable Wi-Fi keeps everyone connected. The air conditioning keeps things comfortable even when the party heats up, and natural light during daytime events adds a refreshing touch. Our location where the Northern Quarter meets Ancoats puts you right in Manchester's creative heart. Wheelchair accessibility ensures everyone can join the celebration, and nearby paid parking takes the stress out of arrival. Transport links make it simple for guests travelling from across the city. From milestone birthdays and engagement parties to leaving dos and reunion celebrations, we've hosted them all. The combination of classic pub character and contemporary amenities creates exactly the right backdrop, while our events team handles the practical details. No noise restrictions mean your celebration can build its own momentum, creating those spontaneous moments that make a great party unforgettable.
