About Gallery 16
120 Standing / Reception
60 Seated
Gallery 16 transforms from public art space to private celebration venue with remarkable ease, surrounded by the brooding industrial landscapes of L.S. Lowry and Adolphe Valette's atmospheric Manchester streetscapes. We've hosted everything from intimate wedding ceremonies beneath these iconic works to lively cocktail receptions where guests mingle among masterpieces, creating conversations that flow as naturally as the champagne. The room's generous proportions accommodate 120 guests for standing receptions or 60 for seated dinners, with natural light streaming through tall windows onto warm wooden floors throughout the day. As evening approaches, our adjustable lighting system illuminates both artwork and guests, creating an atmosphere that shifts from bright afternoon gathering to intimate evening celebration. The coffered ceiling adds architectural drama overhead, while the neutral walls ensure nothing competes with either the art or your chosen decorations. Our couples particularly appreciate how their wedding photographs capture both their special moments and these remarkable paintings, creating images unlike any traditional venue could offer. Corporate clients find the artistic setting sparks creativity during product launches and networking events, while private party hosts love watching their guests discover unexpected details in the surrounding artworks throughout the evening. Practical considerations matter too: our PA system handles speeches and background music with equal clarity, air conditioning keeps summer celebrations comfortable, and Wi-Fi ensures social media moments get shared instantly. Our on-site catering team creates everything from elegant canapés to three-course banquets, with menus designed around your preferences and any dietary requirements. St Peter's Square tram stop sits just minutes away, while Piccadilly station is only a mile's walk through the city centre. Our alcohol licence extends until 1am, allowing celebrations to continue into the night, and full wheelchair accessibility ensures every guest can join your event comfortably.
