Hosting a garden party is always a delightful affair, but when it comes to finding the best places for it in Manchester, you have quite a few options to explore. One obvious choice is, of course, to host it in an actual garden space, whether it's your family's or friend's garden or a hired green space. If you are looking for a more unique space than the average garden, check out The Plant Room at Escape To Freight Island,  located in City Centre.

If you don't have access to a garden, don't worry! There are plenty of other outdoor spaces available for hire instead of an actual garden. With a tiny bit of imagination, your perfect garden party venue is closer than you might have thought.

Elevate your garden party by adding some fun-filled activities to create unforgettable memories! Some exciting suggestions include:

• Choosing an interactive theme like “Back to the '80s,” “Pool Party,” or “Floral Fiesta.”
  
• Creating a decorative photo wall with playful props is great entertainment for the guests and creates fantastic photo opportunities.
  
• Adding classic games with a garden-party twist, such as oversized Jenga, horseshoe toss, croquet or giant board games like Checkers or Chess.
