Amelia has been exceptional over the 2 years that myself and my husband have worked with her. She helped us negotiate our wedding planning through covid, she sourced amazing food and table options, and she was always professional and ready to help. I couldn't recommend her, or the Front Room at the RET, highly enough. x
About Royal Exchange Theatre
The historic building, once the world’s biggest cotton exchange, was taken over by artists in 1976. Today we are an award-winning cultural charity that produces new theatre-in-the-round, in communities, on the road and online.
Exchange remains at the heart of everything we make and do. Now our currency is brand new drama and reinvigorated classics, the boldest artists and a company of highly skilled makers - all brought together in a shared imaginative endeavour to trade ideas and experiences with the people of Greater Manchester (and beyond).
The Exchange’s unique auditorium is powerfully democratic, a space where audiences and performers meet as equals, entering and exiting through the same doors. It is the inspiration for all we do; inviting everyone to understand the past, engage in today's big questions, collectively imagine a better future and lose themselves in the moment of a great night out.
