Wedding · 50 guests · November 2025
My wife and I had a wonderful wedding here, would recommend to anyone looking for an elegant Central Manchester location. Debbie Kay, the event planner at the gallery, is a delight to work with and worked harder than we ever could have asked to make our day everything we could have dreamed. Thank you to everyone at the gallery!

Corporate Event · 40 guests · July 2025
The Victorian Galleries at Manchester Art Gallery was the perfect venue for our 20th anniversary celebration dinner this week. The tables were beautifully decorated and everyone was really helpful and friendly which gave a lovely atmosphere. Everyone was talking about what a fantastic and really special evening it was and we have some wonderful photos. Lorna's organisation and help in putting this together for us made it feel like everything was taken care of and her advice and guidance was invaluable.
