About Gallery café
150 Standing / Reception
100 Seated
Our Gallery Café transforms from a bustling daytime spot into an enchanting private event space when the sun sets. Those magnificent Neoclassical windows that frame the room continue to work their magic after dark, now reflecting the warm glow of evening lighting across light wooden floors and soft green walls adorned with carefully curated artwork. We've designed this space to flow naturally between different event styles. For cocktail receptions, your 150 guests can mingle freely among the mix of cozy armchairs and sleek wooden furniture, while seated dinners for up to 100 create a more intimate atmosphere where conversations flourish over candlelight. The high ceilings give even packed celebrations room to breathe, and our air conditioning keeps everyone comfortable whether you're hosting a summer garden party indoors or a festive winter gathering. Our technical setup handles everything from background music to presentations, with our PA system, projector and flatscreen TV discretely integrated into the space. The reliable Wi-Fi means guests can share moments instantly, though most find themselves captivated by the art-filled surroundings and forget their phones entirely. We're right in Manchester's creative quarter, making arrival simple for your guests. St Peter's Square tram stop sits just a short walk away, while those coming from further afield find Piccadilly station about a mile from our doors. Our alcohol license runs until 1:00 AM, giving your celebration plenty of time to unfold naturally. Our kitchen team excels at everything from elegant canapés that guests can enjoy while exploring the adjoining galleries, to full three-course dinners that showcase seasonal ingredients. We'll work with you to create menus that reflect your taste and accommodate all dietary requirements, ensuring every guest feels considered and well-fed throughout your event.
