The Monastery Manchester is a Grade II* listed heritage site, once listed alongside the Taj Mahal and Pompeii as one of the world’s top 100 most important and endangered sites. Following a £12m restoration scheme, The Monastery has taken its place as one of the UK’s most inspiring venues, it leads the way in hosting a variety of events such as gala dinners, award ceremonies, weddings and much more! Owned and operated by the same Charitable Trust that saved it from dereliction over 25 years ago, all proceeds from events held at The Monastery help the Trust to maintain the heritage site as well as supporting the local community through charitable projects in Education, Skills, Arts and Health.
The Monastery is ideally located just a stone’s throw from Manchester City Centre and 2 miles from Piccadilly Train Station making it perfect for any guests travelling to the city.
The Great Nave, the main event space at the Monastery Manchester, with its unique and inspiring architecture, can seat up to 350 comfortably with a dance floor. The chancel floor of the high altar creates a natural stage and uses the beautiful reredos as the backdrop. The Great Nave is proceeded by the Welcome Wing, which can be used as a drinks reception area. Guests will also have access to the internal courtyard gardens.

"I recommend using the venue booker! Jenny was absolutely amazing; from sourcing a number of venues to getting me and my event booked in successfully. She was very patient and friendly even when I asked her 1001 questions and changed the details of my event, she was happy to help. She was very fast at replying and on job with chasing up venues. Very good and professional service. Thank you!!! Even through the pandemic, jenny made my event possible. I would use the venue booker again. "

The Venue Booker is a fantastic service, not only finding the best venue for my event but the constant support throughout the build-up and event itself. Professionalism throughout with great communication. Nothing was too much hassle which made the process effortless! Highly recommend and will be back in the future!

Morning Jenny! Everything went very well thank you and the venue was a huge success!! Thank you so much again for finding such a gem! I am still getting lovely emails now so a big thank you for all your support Jenny!! I have been singing your praises all week!
Sarah Grant, GKN
I'd be pleased to recommend Jenny, The Venue Booker. I knew our request was going to be a tall order but she rose to the challenge, negotiated some cracking rates and retained her patience and professionalism despite some spectacular dithering at our end!
Kelly Austin, Expedition & Wilderness Medicine
Easy to work with and cost-effective. In 2014 The Venue Booker was asked to identify a suitable, new venue for Chambers’ prestigious Medical Law Lecture. Jenny not only met the brief by finding the right venue but she also secured it on favourable terms.
