Introduction to Christmas Party Venues

Knowing your budget and headcount ahead of time will point you toward the right type of venue early in your search.

Minimum-spend venues tend to offer better value if you're working with a tighter budget, since your food and drink spend goes toward the total rather than paying a separate hire fee. Dry hire is good for those wanting full control over the space, and these venues are worth booking early as they're in high demand during party season.

Manchester really comes alive in the run-up to Christmas too, with a sprawling Christmas market across Piccadilly Gardens, St Ann's Square and Exchange Square, plus ice rinks, light trails around Cathedral Gardens and festive parades adding to the atmosphere around your party. It's one of many strong Christmas party destinations across the UK, with its own distinct mix of venues and areas.

Venue Types in Manchester

Manchester's Christmas party venues span bars, restaurants, galleries and activity venues, so there's a good match whatever kind of party you're planning. If you're after somewhere more intimate, private dining rooms suit smaller groups well, while pubs offer a relaxed, informal setting for a more low-key celebration.

I worked with Marie to source a venue for a 2 day work event. She was very professional and efficient and found us a great shortlist of venues of which we booked one. It was excellent and a great recommendation. Great job Marie, thank you!

Deirdre

As we’re remote workers without much direct knowledge of the area, Megan at Venuescanner really saved us with some great suggestions that all met our brief but had enough differences to help us evaluate the best ‘vibe’ for our event. Megan was always there to cater to our evolving brief and was a great coordinator between us and all the other services she recommended. We’ll definitely work with VenueScanner again.

Angus Knight Group

Marie was amazing helping us to source amazing event spaces for 5 leadership summits at TikTok. She was super helpful, took the burden of us sourcing and negotiating deals and super responsive and always on top of everything! I love the service venuescanner provides and we will be definitely be using them again!

Aaron Lawder

I was so pleased to run across VenueScanner as our organization was looking for a place to host our 50th celebration. Jess made the process so easy, asked what our needs and wants were and also found us the perfect location that was within our budget! As small nonprofit this is a great service, I highly recommend them, and we will use them again in the future.

Debbie

Kate was lovely and so helpful in finding us the perfect venue for our conference this year. This is the 2nd year that we have used Venue Scanner and yet again they took the stress out of trying to find something that suits our growing business.
