Corporate

Manchester Hall offers an exceptional setting for corporate events of every scale and ambition. From intimate board meetings in oak-panelled chambers to large-scale conferences beneath gold-shimmered domed ceilings, each of our eleven function rooms brings its own distinct character to the business at hand. Whether you're launching a product, hosting a gala dinner, or bringing teams together for strategic planning, your event unfolds within one of Manchester's most remarkable architectural landmarks. In this Grade II listed building, nearly a century of history meets contemporary sophistication.

Beyond the practical, Manchester Hall delivers something more challenging to quantify: the impression your event makes on those who attend. Clients and colleagues are impressed by sweeping barrel-vaulted ceilings, polished limestone columns, and intricate period detailing that no purpose-built conference centre can replicate. It is a venue that elevates the ordinary business meeting into an experience — one that reflects ambition, attention to detail, and an appreciation for doing things exceptionally well.

Our dedicated events team works closely with you to craft every detail, from room configuration and audio-visual requirements to bespoke catering menus created by our in-house culinary team. High-speed Wi-Fi, professional PA systems, and state-of-the-art presentation equipment come as standard across our spaces, while flexible layouts allow rooms to transform seamlessly from daytime conferences to evening networking receptions. For larger gatherings, the John Rylands Rooftop accommodates up to 500 guests, offering panoramic views across the Manchester skyline — a setting that transforms any corporate occasion into something truly memorable.
