You can bring your own food and beverages to retreat locations in Manchester, as many of them allow for flexibility with catering options. For instance, Elizabeth Gaskell's House in Ardwick and Serendipity Labs Manchester in Ordsall are two venues that permit guests to bring their own refreshments. However, it's advisable to check with the specific venue in advance to confirm if there are any additional costs associated with BYO policies or any restrictions on what can be brought in.

The key to a successful company retreat is how much you can engage and involve all team members in activities that promote teamwork and communication. It is best to start with great icebreaker activities to help break down barriers before getting into more in-depth team-building exercises. Additionally, incorporating structured activities and free time for socialising can help balance productivity and relaxation during the retreat.  Also, Manchester has several hiking spots and parks, including Heaton Park and Clayton Vale, which can be fantastic options for outdoor activities or group challenges during the retreat. For more inspiration on retreat activities, check out our ideas on indoor and outdoor team-building activities!

Booked Whole Venue at 14 Newton Street NQ

Chris the owner was helpful every step of the way, super accommodating. We had a great party, didn't have to wait long at the bar, everyone loved the venue. Pizza was brought in from Crazy Pedros by Chris and his team, which went down really well! We had a photobooth, which fit perfectly in the space beside the bar.

Julie, our event manager, was a delight to deal with and a massive help during the entire process. She did her best to facilitate all of our requests, and even greeted us in person on the day to ensure that we were happy with everything. Their facilities are fully usable for those with accessibility needs and the food was outstanding. I would gladly use this venue again for an event.
