The exposed beams above your head have witnessed decades of Manchester's working history, and now they frame your celebration at The Venue. This 3,842-square-foot former warehouse space brings industrial character to events for up to 280 guests, where original architecture meets modern functionality in ways that surprise our clients every time. We've kept the best parts of this heritage building, the high ceilings that create natural acoustics, the structural beams that add architectural interest, while installing everything you need for contemporary events. Our professional stage comes equipped with microphones and speakers, ready for your band's soundcheck or your CEO's keynote address. The flexible layout means we can arrange our blue upholstered chairs in theatre style for 275 attendees, create banquet seating for 150, or set up cabaret rounds for 168 guests who want to mix business with pleasure. Dark drapery frames the space, working with our stage lighting system to shift the mood from bright and energetic for daytime conferences to atmospheric and intimate for evening celebrations. We've hosted wedding receptions where couples exchanged their first dance beneath these beams, charity galas that raised thousands for local causes, and corporate seminars where industry leaders shared their expertise. The acoustics handle live music beautifully, whether that's a jazz quartet or a full band getting the dance floor moving. Harper Road location puts you close to Manchester's transport links, and our free parking means your guests won't circle the streets looking for spaces. The Mess Café downstairs provides pre-event refreshments or interval catering, while our kitchen team prepares everything from canapés to three-course dinners using locally sourced ingredients. Every booking supports our charitable programs, helping ex-offenders rebuild their lives and tackling food poverty across Greater Manchester.
