The Northern Market is a city-centre beer hall and food market in Leeds with three private rooms that hold between 18 and 50 guests. It suits team meetings with a screen, small company events, birthday parties and wedding celebrations. The venue is at 12 Great George Street, LS1 3ED, and is run by the Leeds brewery Northern Monk.
Seminars and company events
The Cinema is the room to look at first for a working session. It is the largest of the private spaces according to the venue, it holds 18 to 30 guests and it is equipped with AV technology. The venue lists business meetings and screenings among its uses, so a presentation followed by drinks can happen in the same room.
The Speakeasy holds 30 to 50 guests and has direct access to its own section of the bar. The venue names corporate events among its uses. It is the better choice for a team celebration, a client evening or a company gathering where drinks matter more than slides.
The Lounge is a raised area set back from the main bar, with a view of the whole hall. It holds 18 to 25 guests and works for a small team night out or a leaving drink.
Weddings and receptions
The Speakeasy is listed for wedding celebrations as well as corporate events. With a capacity of 30 to 50, it fits an intimate reception or a gathering after a civil ceremony held elsewhere. The official site does not describe wedding ceremonies on site, so confirm what is possible with the team.
