Looking for birthday ideas in Manchester?

We know that finding a venue the old-fashioned way (where you trawl the internet, contact 10 venues or set your heart on one, only to find that they're out of your price range and not even available on your dates) is a pain, and there are a few pitfalls between you and booking your perfect birthday party venue. Getting the venue-finding process down to a professional art is what we’ve made our mission ever since we took on the events industry. We often get asked the same questions, so here's what we recommend to quickly and easily hire a space in Manchester.

Frequently asked questions

For birthday ideas in Manchester, you're spoilt for choice. Here are a few extra special ones that we recommend:

For an entertaining brunch, head to The Brunch Club for good food and an amazing time.

For a nostalgic birthday, head to Bingo Balls for live music, cocktails, and a dive in one of their ball pits.

There really is no one answer to this question: so many variables come into play when understanding the cost of exclusive hire of a birthday party venue or a private space in a birthday party venue. How many guests are you planning for? Is the venue for the day, an afternoon, or the night? The good news is that you can find a venue for pretty much any budget (okay, almost any budget). Instead of letting the venue dictate the price, our advice is to be proactive and set a budget that you feel comfortable with – this way the right venues can reach out to you through HeadBox.

There are lots of ways to book a Manchester birthday party venue. You can do the old-fashioned thing and pick up the phone, or email the venue directly. Unfortunately, lots of venues are busy and may not get back to you in time. That's where we come in. Give us your enquiry and we'll reach out to the best birthday party venues in Manchester and let you enjoy your free time. Easy.
