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.

Meeting · 18 guests
· December 2024
Room was beautifully set and clean. Staff were wonderful and friendly. Food was delicious and spot on what was needed after a long presentation.
Wifi connection was a little dodgy and we kept needing to reconnect to speak with our external colleagues who were dialling in.
Not sure if our afternoon tea and coffee ever arrived (unless this was refreshed whilst we were outside the room.. but the mugs weren't relaid so assume not).

The space is incredible.
The support from the events manager was excellent.
The communication was excellent from the moment of enquiry.
We had an unexpected issue to deal with on the day (nothing to do with th Gallery) and the events manager dealt with this calmly and expertly
