Ballrooms in Manchester tend to book up quickly, especially during popular seasons. Booking at least 6 to 8 months in advance is best to secure your preferred ballroom. This gives you ample time to plan and make any necessary arrangements for your event. By booking early, you'll have a better chance of reserving the perfect ballroom and ensuring everything goes smoothly on the day of your event.

In Manchester, you can find ballrooms in various sizes to suit your needs. Smaller ballrooms in the city can seat around 40 people, such as the Ensemble Rooms at Stoller Hall in Manchester City Centre. This beautiful venue is conveniently located within a short distance from Manchester Victoria railway station, making it convenient for guests.

On the other hand, larger-sized ballrooms in Manchester can accommodate anywhere from 300 to 600 guests. We recommend checking out The Grand Ballroom at The Lowry Hotel in Greengate near the Irwell riverside. Its spacious and elegant setting makes it the perfect choice for grand events and celebrations.
