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.
Dinner Packages from £55 per person.
The Monastery is fully accessible for wheelchairs and buggies.

The Venue Booker provided us with a fantastic selection of venues to view for the two events we enquired about – each of these met our brief, several offered something really special and most of them came with discounted rates that we would not have been able to achieve on our own. The service is free of charge and Jenny is friendly and helpful. We will definitely use them again.

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.

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!
