Cinema venues are a unique setting suitable for both private and corporate events. If you’re looking for an unconventional party concept, why not organise a screening night of your favourite movie or even a marathon of your favourite series? Birthday parties are one of the most popular private events hosted in private cinemas in Manchester!
Private screening rooms in cinemas are also a great solution for professionals. If you’re a filmmaker and want to screen a premiere of your newest project, organise a special critics showing or promote your movie to a larger audience, why not hire a screen at a cinema in Manchester? If you need to organise an awards ceremony or product launch, private cinemas can be an exciting and novel choice. Thanks to the venues’ large screens and modern audiovisual technologies, cinema rooms are also a perfect setting for hosting presentations and conferences, especially the large ones!
If you are organising a longer event at one of Manchester’s private cinemas, you’ll probably want to provide some snacks and refreshments to your guests. Depending on the venue, you’ll have several options to choose from. Some spaces sell food and drinks on site, either in the form of a per person event package or at a cinema bar. You might find that many spaces only provide typical cinema fare, such as popcorn and sweets, but others can provide professional catering, including breakfasts for morning events and canape menus for evenings. Not all private cinemas have catering services, but most will allow you to hire external catering.
Most private cinemas are located in Manchester city centre, especially around Deansgate, Spinningfields, and Chinatown. If you're looking for more independent screening venues, you should consider heading to New Islington. You should also be able to find some spaces near Trafford and Salford, if you're willing to leave the central areas of the city.
