About this space

The Canal Side Room works really well for workshops, training sessions, and mid-sized meetings. It’s also a nice fit for things like small conferences or even a yoga class. The layout is flexible, so you can set it up in a way that suits how you want the day to run.

The room looks out over the Ashton Canal, which used to carry coal and limestone into Manchester. These days, it’s a steady stream of colourful narrowboats passing by. It’s a calm backdrop that gives the space a bit of character without distracting from what you’re there to do.
