The most common pricing options are: per hour, per person, per day, per session and minimum spend. Which one you choose depends on how much time you are willing to spend in a venue and how many guests you are going to have at your private event.

Essential Tips for Hiring Private Party Venues in Manchester 

The earlier you start looking, the better your options, especially if you’ve got a specific date or area in mind. And speaking of areas: Spinningfields is great if you want something sleek and classy, while the Northern Quarter leans more alternative and creative. Don’t forget to consider how your guests are getting there. Check transport links and parking ahead of time. The size of your guest list matters too. Having your numbers confirmed early helps you pick a venue that fits without overpaying for space you won’t use.

How to Hire a Party Venue in Manchester on a Budget:

Manchester makes it doable. Lots of venues here are happy for you to bring your own food, which is great if you’ve got special dietary needs or just want to keep costs down. Community halls are another smart choice: they’re usually dry hire (you bring everything in), but that gives you total control over your spend.

Minimum spend venues are a solid hack, too. You’re not paying to hire the space, just agreeing to spend a set amount on food and drink, which you were probably going to do anyway. And if you’re open to being a bit flexible, look at off-peak days or times. Weekday afternoons can be way cheaper than Saturday nights.

Also, don’t sleep on locations just outside the city centre. Salford Quays, Harpurhey, and even parts of Piccadilly, often have great spaces for less. If you’re willing to travel just a little, your budget goes a lot further.

Venues like pubs with function rooms and restaurants with private rooms are cheaper during the week and at early hours.

Booked Basement Bar at Foundry Project

The basement bar was the perfect venue for the hen do we organised. It's a great sized space for our 30 person event. Jonny was really professional and helpful from first point of enquiry to answering any questions I had along the way. He allowed me to dress the space the day before as there was no private hire on, which made my life so much easier and was much appreciated. The food was lovely - fresh, varied and catered to everyone including Gluten free. The drinks vouchers and really good venue for money. Staff on the night were friendly and helpful. I was really impressed by my first private hire experience. Thank you :)

Really friendly staff, very accommodating. Great party venue to entertain the guests. Nice having some games as an icebreaker. Everyone really enjoyed the food, very plentiful and went round. Would definitely recommend. Easy booking, great communication.

I hired this venue for my 30th birthday party in December. While other bars request £2000+ minimum spend, this venue only requests a £50/hour fee. This took away the stress of whether people would spend enough to cover it. The staff were super friendly and helpful throughout and responded to my queries quickly. On the day of my party they let me set up 3 hours in advance and had staff on hand to help where needed. My guests had a fantastic time and the venue was great for live music!

Booked The Loft at Revolution Oxford Road

The staff on the night of the event couldn't have been more helpful. There were a couple of things we forgot to bring (e.g. ping pong balls, aux cable) and they went above and beyond to help us sort those. I also appreciated that we didn't have to go back and tidy up after the event since the venue took care of that.

I just wanted to email for you to pass on my thanks to the team at the Gusto for our Private Dining Experience on Saturday 28th October 5:30 onwards. They were immaculate! Their presentation, manner and the room. We had a brilliant day, the food was fresh and on time, the staff were organised and helpful. So thank you for helping organise and also the guys working with us on the day. They made my sister's Hen Party a very special day!

The communication with Ellie was pristine. I booked whilst in a different country so this was imperative to me. She helped with everything and even called me when it was needed. While on location her colleague showed the room to my friend which was very kind of them. When the day of my event arrived I went to see the room the day before and they really did their best to accommodate my requests and event needs. On the day everything went smoothly. The catering was impeccable and the room cosy and comfy. Lunch was a delicious delight and the staff did their best to help make it a luxurious and memorable experience for everyone involved. Thank you all once again.

Alex was of great help in organising the perfect wedding after party for us. All of our guests had a great time and it was exactly like how we had planned it to be. The entire staff (especially the bar staff) during our event were extremely helpful and they assisted us with all of our requests. We’re thoroughly impressed with the professionalism and dedication portrayed by everyone involved in managing & organising our event. This is the place to be if you want to have the best time with your loved ones! The fun part is you get to have different games so it makes for a great socialising experience as well.
