Now at this point, you’re probably thinking that we’re full of it, but there really are a lot of unusual party venues in Manchester. You can find all sorts of spaces for hire, such as old industrial age mansions, a full-blown cathedral and an actual hangar with a Concorde parked inside. Sounds like a bit too much? You can always shake things up by booking something like one of the city’s many old warehouses. Many of them have been updated with high ceilings, lovely brickwork and decor pulled straight from old-school theatres.
So, which parts of Manchester offer the best choice of unique party venues in town? Going up and down Quay Street will put you in contact with a variety of unique party venues alongside their more mundane cousins.
