Your guide to booking a meeting room in Manchester

Looking for a beautiful meeting room conveniently located in Manchester? We’ve got you.

Meetings are the nervous system of any functioning company. They provide the platform for an exchange of ideas, room to brainstorm and mind map and get the collective creativity flowing in the right direction. If meetings themselves are important then were believe the rooms they occur in are too. No one wants to make key quarterly decisions in a broom cupboard, your boss’ face inches from your own. Luckily this oddly intimate nightmare is easily avoided. Manchester doesn’t lack amazing meeting spaces that can be hired out day and night for your professional wants. But what if you’ve never booked a meeting room before? Panic not. We’ve pooled our collective experience (using a very nice meeting room, we should add) and are happy to bring you the guide to booking your own ideal Manchester meeting venue.

Getting the vibe right

Not all meeting rooms are created equal, and some are better suited to particular jobs. If you’re having an internal creative meeting, you may want to consider a unique, out-of-the-box space that can inspire some lateral thoughts. For external meetings, you’ll probably want to stick with the classic, professional setup (think board room style seating with a good view of the Manchester sprawl).

Meeting everyone’s requirements

If you’ve been taken with booking a meeting space in Manchester then you’re taking on the responsibility of making sure that everyone can attend. This means being super vigilant when it comes to aspects like accessibility and inclusivity. Giving prior thought to physical access and dietary requirements to your Manchester meeting is a great way to be a conscientious planner.

Extras maketh the meeting

Think carefully about what your meeting needs to really go well. Tea and coffee are given essentials, and some meeting rooms in Manchester will provide food alongside. Technical capabilities are also an important consideration: are you presenting or brainstorming? Will you need audio and visual tech to bring your meeting to life? What about natural lighting and windows – these seeming afterthoughts can actually have a profound effect on the outcome of your workshop or meeting.

Booking your Manchester meeting room

The final stage to securing a Manchester meeting room is to get your criteria out to all of the best professional venues in the city and receive quality responses without getting stressed. Luckily we can circulate your enquiry for no cost and put you in direct contact with the very best meeting venues in Manchester. You’re welcome.

Frequently asked questions

There are lots of ways to book a Manchester meeting room. You can do the old-fashioned thing and pick up the phone, or email the venue directly. Unfortunately, lots of meeting rooms 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 meeting venues in Manchester and let you enjoy your free time. Easy.

For meetings in Manchester, you are spoilt for choice. Here are a few extra special ones that we vouch for:

The Boardroom, Mercure Manchester Piccadilly - With plush professional furniture and a location that couldn’t be more central, Mercure’s Piccadilly outpost is bound to impress any clients or colleagues.

The Community Hub, The Monastery Manchester - How about a slightly different meeting room? Workshop your ideas within the confines of a literal monastery - need we say any more?

A meeting room in Manchester can start at £50 for a short rental of a small basic room, and go up to £500 or more for a day at a swish venue with facilities and catering. There really is no one answer to this question: so many variables come into play when understanding the cost of hiring a meeting room. How many guests are you planning for? What's the neighbourhood for your meeting? Is the venue for an hour, a day or a week? The good news is that you can find a space 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.
