About Elizabeth Gaskell House
Victorian grandeur meets modern functionality at Elizabeth Gaskell's House, where we've carefully preserved the literary heritage of Manchester's celebrated writer while creating versatile spaces for today's gatherings. Our meticulously restored residence serves as an inspiring backdrop whether you're planning a board meeting, celebrating your wedding day, or hosting a special event. We've maintained the original character throughout the house - the Study remains lined floor-to-ceiling with books, creating an atmosphere that sparks conversation during intimate ceremonies or focused meetings. The Drawing Room features our cherished boudoir grand piano and period furnishings that transport you to the Victorian era while providing comfort for your guests. Natural light floods these spaces, enhanced by the views of our award-winning south-facing garden. For business gatherings, we offer three purpose-built meeting rooms - the Brontë, Darwin, and Nightingale Rooms. Each accommodates up to 35 delegates comfortably and comes equipped with deluxe screens and hearing loops. We can arrange your preferred layout, whether theatre-style for presentations, classroom setup for training, or U-shaped for collaborative workshops. The Servants' Hall and garden provide natural breakout spaces where attendees can continue discussions over refreshments. Our wedding couples particularly love the flexibility we offer. Friday and Saturday bookings guarantee exclusive use of the entire house, allowing you to flow between spaces throughout your celebration. We're fully licensed for civil ceremonies, and our private bar keeps the celebration flowing smoothly. The garden creates stunning photo opportunities in every season. Accessibility remains a priority - we provide disabled parking on-site and ensure all guests can enjoy our spaces comfortably. Our dedicated coordinators work closely with you to bring your vision to life, whether that's an afternoon tea in the Servants' Hall or a full wedding reception flowing through our historic rooms.
