Everyman Manchester St. John's lets organisers hire one of three cinema screens, for 58 to 114 guests, with a licensed bar for receptions before and after. The cinema is in the ABC Building in central Manchester. It suits presentations, client screenings, team events and private celebrations.
Seminars and company events
Each hired screen comes with full sound and projection, and with an HDMI connection for presenting. That makes a screen usable for a company briefing, a product film or a client screening. The cinema also lists corporate events among the bookings it has hosted at its venues. The private hire page presents a ready package: a professional technical setup, menus, the bar and a team that handles the details on the day.
Rooms and capacities
Three screens are available for private hire. Screen 1 takes up to 114 guests. Screen 2 takes up to 71 guests. Screen 3 takes up to 58 guests. The bar can be reserved before and after the screening, for a reception, drinks or an after-party. The venue describes velvet sofas and a fully licensed bar.
A practical way to plan an event here is to match the screen to the headcount, then add the bar for arrivals and networking. For a group of 100 or more, Screen 1 is the only option on the official figures, so ask the team about availability early.
For planning, send the team your headcount, the format (talk, film, panel or reception) and the files you plan to show. Ask which times are available for your date, because the official page does not list hire hours here. Guests who need step-free access should be checked with the cinema directly.
Catering
Menus are built around the booking and run from breakfast to cocktails. The private events menu includes sharing food such as pizzas, sliders, hot dogs and canapes, plus sweet treats. A breakfast selection offers speciality teas and coffees, muffins, fruit platters and pastries. Drinks include beers, wines and cocktails, with alcohol-free options.
History and setting
The cinema occupies the ABC Building at St. John's, in the middle of Manchester, and includes a kitchen and a retro-style bar with velvet seating next to its screens.
Getting there
The address is ABC Building, Manchester, M3 4AS. The cinema is in the city centre, so guests can arrive on foot, by tram or by train and walk from the central stations. Check the official directions link before sending details to your guests.
