About The Outside (New..)
300 Banquet
450 Standing / Reception
When the sun hits those old railway arches just right, The Outside transforms into Manchester's most atmospheric open-air venue. We've taken 450 square metres of former freight depot and created something special, where industrial heritage meets modern celebration under strings of festive lights. Picture your guests mingling beneath the original steel beams, drinks in hand from our dedicated outdoor bar, while live bands or DJs perform on the central stage. The space flows naturally between covered sections and open areas, with colourful murals bringing warmth to the exposed brickwork that tells the story of this place. We've arranged picnic tables and tiered benches throughout, creating natural gathering spots where conversations spark as easily as the atmosphere builds. Our versatile layout works brilliantly for everything from summer festivals to winter markets. The DJ box and stage anchor one end, while the bar keeps energy flowing from the other. When Manchester weather turns, our covered areas and available heaters mean the party continues regardless. Those industrial bones aren't just for show, they create incredible acoustics that make live music performances truly memorable. Just minutes from Piccadilly Station, your guests find us easily whether arriving by train, tram or taxi. We handle groups from intimate gatherings of 50 to full-capacity festivals of 450, with our experienced team coordinating everything from production requirements to security needs. The Outside has hosted buzzing street food markets, unforgettable product launches, and day-into-night celebrations that guests still talk about. Whether you're planning a corporate summer party, a music festival, or a retail pop-up, this space adapts to your vision. The raw industrial backdrop, combined with our modern amenities and flexible setup options, creates an event space unlike any other in Manchester.
