About The Viewing Gallery (New..)
30 Banquet
30 Standing / Reception
Dark wooden floors meet industrial steel in The Viewing Gallery, our converted shipping container that holds up to 30 guests in what feels like your own private world above the action. We've lined the walls with jewel-toned cushions that guests sink into while small gold-based tables catch the warm lighting we've carefully positioned throughout the space. The container's open side frames the energy of our Ticket Hall below, giving you that brilliant combination of having your own space while still feeling connected to Freight Island's buzz. Groups celebrating milestone birthdays love how they can retreat here between dancing, and corporate teams use it as their base during product launches, popping down to the main floor when they want to join the wider crowd. We originally built this space thinking about private dining, but it's evolved into so much more. Engagement parties spill out naturally into the venue below when couples want to expand their celebration. Brand activations use the elevated position to create exclusive experiences while their guests explore our food vendors. The industrial container walls provide excellent acoustics for presentations, though most bookings prefer the relaxed seating arrangement for cocktail-style gatherings. Getting here couldn't be easier with Manchester Piccadilly just minutes away, and our location in the old Depot Mayfield railway arches means your guests will find us without any fuss. The space works beautifully for intimate celebrations where you want something different from a standard function room. Those original shipping container bones give every gathering an edge that typical venues can't match, while the plush furnishings ensure comfort throughout your event. Our team handles all the logistics, from coordinating with our food vendors for catering to managing guest access between The Viewing Gallery and the main venue spaces below.
