The former house of Manchester's most famous Victorian writer, Elizabeth Gaskell's House is a truly unique venue for meeting rooms, events and weddings.
Our meeting rooms range from historic to modern and come equipped with a TV screen for presentations, lectures and training. Whether you need a theatre layout, classroom or U-shaped for group work, we'll be happy to accommodate.
Private dining parties will find an elegant space in the Servant's Hall, with seating for everyone to enjoy afternoon tea or a buffet. Perfect for an office party or business lunch, the hall is also the perfect space to host your wedding breakfast or reception.
Fully licensed for civil ceremonies, you'll be able to host an intimate gay wedding in our book-lined study or grand drawing room with a grand piano. With its own private bar, a beautiful garden for wedding photos and plenty of spaces for you to use, the house is a gorgeous venue for your wedding. When you hire on a Friday or Saturday you'll have guaranteed exclusive use of the house!
