About this space

Manchester's best kept secret is exclusively yours when you hire our event space with heated Canalside terrace for your event!

Our event space embrace's the spirit of the Manchester music scene with all our rooms named after Manchester's famously celebrated musicians and the legendary nightspot The Hacienda. With modern artwork and quirky lighting, it makes it ideal for anyone looking for something a bit more contemporary.

Leading directly off the open event space, our Canalside terrace boasts outdoor heating, lighting and seating - ideal if you are looking for something different and want the ultimate city vibe.

Included within your exclusive event space you have access to an LED dancefloor and your own private event bar. You can even take your theming outdoors and light up our hotel in your chosen colours.

The food was excellent, the staff on the evening were helpful and attentive. The drinks vouchers and welcome drinks were brilliant
I needed more tables and chairs set up. But the staff helped with anything I asked for and it looked great.
