About Circle Foyer
350 Banquet
500 Standing / Reception
The glass walls of our Circle Foyer frame Manchester's skyline like a living artwork, transforming throughout the day as sunlight moves across the city. This expansive space on the circle level accommodates 500 guests for cocktail receptions or 350 for seated banquets, with blue carpeting that grounds the soaring contemporary architecture. We've watched countless events unfold here, from charity galas where guests mingle against the backdrop of city lights to corporate dinners where the panoramic views spark conversation between courses. The abundant natural light makes daytime exhibitions particularly striking, while evening receptions take on a different character as Manchester illuminates below. Film crews and photographers regularly choose this space for its dramatic interplay of architecture and cityscape. The open floor plan adapts to your vision, whether you're planning formal round tables or creating distinct zones for networking. When combined with our adjacent Barbirolli Room, the Circle Foyer becomes a natural reception area where guests gather with welcome drinks before moving to the main event. We've seen it work beautifully as a registration space for large conferences, a showcase area for product launches, and an atmospheric setting for wedding cocktail hours. Our events team understands how to maximise the foyer's flexibility. We can section areas for catering stations without disrupting the flow, position bars to encourage circulation, or create intimate conversation corners within the larger space. The proximity to Manchester Piccadilly station means your guests arrive easily, stepping from the bustle of the city into this light-filled retreat. Every event here benefits from the same attention to detail that makes The Bridgewater Hall Manchester's premier cultural venue, with our technical capabilities and experienced coordinators ensuring your celebration, conference, or reception runs exactly as you envision it.
