Whitworth Locke Hotel, The Storehouse

About Venue

Whitworth Locke Hotel is a design-led Manchester venue set inside a restored 19th century mill on Princess Street, combining historic character with a modern, creative atmosphere. The interiors feel considered and calm, with plenty of natural light and stylish details that make the whole place feel effortlessly put together.

It is a really strong choice for everything from Manchester weddings and private celebrations to corporate events, team away days, brand launches, and networking socials. The venue naturally suits both relaxed and professional occasions, giving organisers the flexibility to create something that feels personal, whether that is a lively evening event or a focused daytime session.

One of the biggest advantages here is how seamless the experience feels from start to finish. There is a supportive on-site team to help with planning, along with flexible hire options and the freedom to bring in your own suppliers if needed. Premium touches like on-site food and drink, welcoming communal areas, and the option to create more exclusive style experiences help elevate events without adding stress.

Guests can also stay on site in thoughtfully designed rooms and apartments, which makes multi-day events and destination weddings incredibly easy to manage. With Manchester Piccadilly, Manchester Central, and St Peter’s Square all within easy reach, it is a very convenient option for both local guests and those travelling in.
