The Lounge

Stunning chandeliers and large period windows distinguish The Lounge, creating an open, airy quality rare among Manchester Hall's more enclosed spaces. The room maintains what venue materials describe as "a regal quality perfectly maintained since the building was first opened" in 1929.

Standout Elements

Those chandeliers have been in place since 1929, creating a period authenticity that reproduction fixtures cannot match. Combined with generous windows, they define a space that feels simultaneously grand and welcoming.

Event Suitability

The Lounge's versatility makes it valuable across wedding days, serving as a bridal preparation room in the morning hours and then transforming into a drinks reception space or private dining venue for evening celebrations. Corporate clients use it for conference breakout sessions or intimate dinner events.

Architectural Character

Where many rooms emphasise the building's Masonic solemnity through wood panelling and limited windows, The Lounge embraces light. Large windows fill the space with natural daylight, while original chandeliers provide evening elegance. The combination creates luxurious versatility—the same room functions differently during the day and at night.
