The Grosvenor on Grosvenor Street in Manchester rents out the whole venue for up to 800 guests, with 220 of them seated, and offers three smaller private areas for groups of 50 to 200. It describes itself as a party venue, and its private hire page pitches the full takeover as a corporate event space for business events that want more energy than a function room.
Seminars and company events
The full venue includes two bars, a stage area with a full PA system and a giant 6 m screen. That setup suits a company launch, a staff party, a product presentation with an audience or a large networking evening. For presentations in a smaller group, the Peep Show Lounge has a 60-inch screen and takes up to 50 guests, with 30 seated. The venue also lists a photo booth, carousel horses, beer pong, pool, an indoor garden and a balcony among its features, which gives teams activities for an evening without hiring extras.
Weddings and receptions
The official pages read do not offer weddings. The venue presents itself for birthdays, parties and corporate events, so couples should confirm directly before planning a reception here.
Rooms and capacities
The full venue holds 800 guests standing or 220 seated. The First Floor Balcony holds up to 200 guests, 110 seated, with a private bar, a private entrance and a view of the 6 m screen and stage. The Indoor Garden holds up to 60 guests, 40 seated, with table service and a view of the screen. The Peep Show Lounge, an alcove on the first floor, holds up to 50 guests, 30 seated, with table service, a private area and the 60-inch screen for presentations. The venue offers a brochure for each space.
Accommodation
The Grosvenor is a venue and does not list bedrooms. Organisers booking guests from out of town need to arrange rooms elsewhere.
Catering
Three food and drink packages are listed. Small plates are a selection of the kitchen's sharing dishes, with dietary requirements catered for. Beer and Burgers pairs any burger with three bottled beers and requires a minimum of 10 people. Pizza and Prosecco pairs pizza with half a bottle of prosecco, also with a minimum of 10 people. The venue also mentions signature cocktails, craft beers and a low and no alcohol menu.
History and setting
