Hosting an affordable event in Manchester is entirely possible if you follow a few easy steps!
Hiring an inexpensive function room in Manchester is best done during the low season to secure the most affordable rates. Weekdays are generally less pricey than weekends, with mid-week days like Tuesday or Wednesday offering the best deals. Additionally, booking your event during non-holiday periods can help reduce costs, as venues often charge higher rates during popular times like Christmas and New Year. Early bookings can also benefit from lower prices and more availability.
It essentially depends on the venue, but worry not! Manchester has many amazing event spaces that allow it. Check out function rooms such as Work + Play 2 at Malmaison Manchester, with a hire fee of £350 per day, or the Heated Outdoor Terrace at The Urban Courtyard, available from a minimum spend of £655. To find all the spaces that allow bringing your own drinks, simply check the "BYO alcohol allowed" box in Tagvenue's filters. Using these filters, you can also view venues that allow external catering, which is another excellent way to cut costs when organising a function in Manchester!
