It's best to book a large conference venue in Manchester at least 6 months to a year in advance. This is especially important if you want to host your event during busy times of the year, like spring or autumn. Booking early helps ensure you get the venue you want and can sometimes get you a better deal.
Serving alcohol is possible at many large conference venues in Manchester, especially in hotels and dedicated event spaces. However, you should check with the venue about their specific rules and any required licences. Venues like Voco Manchester and The Edwardian Manchester often have bar services or allow you to hire an external vendor to serve alcohol.
