About The Alan
The Alan is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.
The Alan is about finding value where it was lost. Offering something new and unexpected in Manchester. Removing the original plasterboard which made the whole building disproportional, lowered ceilings and cluttered furniture. Exposing the history and heritage features, the brickwork, the original windows and the true tall dimensions of the rooms.
Nestled in the center of Manchester, just a short walk from both Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Victoria railway stations giving easy access to the airport, The Alan is the ideal location from which to explore the city.
