Based on Tagvenue data (as of August 2026), users looking for quirky Christmas party venues most commonly go for these venue types:

Manchester is full of unusual venues for your Christmas party but you have to know where to look. Northern Quarter, Spinningfields and Deansgate all have a large number of cool venues to offer. Especially if you are looking for a place with a relaxed atmosphere since many bars and restaurants in these areas offer exactly that. Old Trafford and Ardwick are  less central, areas where you can look for a quirky venue. There you can find spacious halls, which you can decorate to your liking, making them as unique as you want, as well as historical venues that can help give your Christmas party a hip vintage feel.

It depends on the venue. Before you go ahead and buy the necessary materials, contact your venue manager to get the go ahead. More expensive alternative venues would likely want to show off their special decor.
