About this space

The Association Room originally housed the kitchens of Chetham’s Hospital School and retains fascinating features from its historical role.

The old kitchens were converted as recently as 1969 when Chetham’s was transformed into a Music School. An impressive double-storey space, it is ideal for seminars, meetings or dining, with an adjacent kitchen ensuring that fresh, hot food and refreshments can be provided to guests throughout the day.

The Association Room is a flexible, fascinating space full of historical interest, perfect as a venue in its own right or as a breakout from larger gatherings in the Baronial Hall.

FAQ

Yes. Round tables with white or black cloths will be provided, along with a pop-up bar set up and ready for guests.

No. The Baronial Hall is step free; however, it has uneven tiled and cobbled flooring because it is a listed building. The nearest accessible toilets are in a separate building, so the space is deemed inaccessible to wheelchair users.
