About this space

The Spirit of Manchester Distillery can be hired for a private event-any-time daytime or evening venue rental.

The full hire of the venue is an impressive setting for large-scale occasions, up to 200 guests in the interconnected spaces. From a drinks reception buzzing with energy to a laid-back buffet-style gathering to a party for the whole venue, this is the one-way ticket to owning the entire distillery bar.

Excellent communication
Chloe got back to me super quickly and was very forthcoming with details of pricing and packages. She also offered to help accommodate our request as what we'd asked for they typically wouldn't advertise. The sign of an excellent host!
