We really enjoyed hosting the event there. The room was a great size and suited our needs, the staff was very helpful, and the lunch buffet and snack service were both excellent.

Planning a business function in Manchester and looking for a corporate event venue? These tips will surely come in handy:
-
Consider the location – the majority of corporate event venues in Manchester are located in the city centre (think Spinningfields, Deansgate or the Piccadilly Gardens area). No matter which area you choose, make sure you check the venue’s transport links and parking facilities nearby.
-
Write down all the facilities you will need – such as whiteboards, projectors, flipcharts etc. Before the event, ask the venue manager if they’re able to provide them.
-
Remember that some of your guests may have special catering needs – get to know your attendees’ needs and make sure you’re able to provide halal, kosher, gluten-free or vegan catering options. A well-tailored food menu is crucial for a successful corporate event.

Verified Reviews of Corporate Event Venues in Manchester
The Victorian Galleries at Manchester Art Gallery was the perfect venue for our 20th anniversary celebration dinner this week. The tables were beautifully decorated and everyone was really helpful and friendly which gave a lovely atmosphere. Everyone was talking about what a fantastic and really special evening it was and we have some wonderful photos. Lorna's organisation and help in putting this together for us made it feel like everything was taken care of and her advice and guidance was invaluable.
Excellent communication with Jacob, he catered to our every request and ensured the event went smoothly. All our requirements were met on the day and the staff was lovely and helpful. Venue was pretty as well.
Laurie and team were fantastic at helping us set up and organise our event. I would highly recommend.
Erica could not have been more helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. The location was ideal for both public transport and car parks.
Very easy to deal with and arrange, Oliver and the team couldn't have been more helpful and answered every question we had. Room was great, big projector screen which was easy to connect to. One whole whiteboard wall with magnets was really useful. The venue in general is a really clean and pleasant setting and there was plenty of space for downtime. We didn't go for the hot drinks package but we had a tab for the cafe which we settled at the end of the day, and that worked perfectly for us.
The staff were fantastic from sending the quote all the way through to the day of the event. The Concorde tour had rave reviews from all of our attendees, it most certainly made all of our days. The tour guide was phenomenal.
Victoria was super attentive The venue space was lovely Other staff on the day very helpful All tech worked well
