About
The Grosvenor Manchester
The Grosvenor Manchester is a distinctive events and entertainment venue occupying a Grade II-listed former cinema on Grosvenor Street, close to Oxford Road. Following a £1 million transformation, the historic building combines its original double-height auditorium, stage and balcony with contemporary production, bars and flexible event areas.
Available for exclusive hire for up to 800 guests, The Grosvenor offers an alternative to traditional Manchester conference and event spaces. The venue includes two bars, a stage with full PA, a giant six-metre screen, balcony and several smaller areas, making it particularly suited to corporate celebrations, brand events, product launches, networking events and large-scale receptions.

Why Hire
The Grosvenor offers something quite different from Manchester's conventional hotels and conference centres. Its former cinema architecture provides genuine scale and character, while the retained balcony and stage create a natural event environment without organisers needing to transform a blank conference room.
The venue is particularly strong for events where atmosphere and guest experience matter. A capacity of 800 makes it suitable for substantial corporate events, while the combination of the main floor, balcony and smaller areas allows different elements of an event to take place within the same building.
Its built-in stage, PA and giant screen are another advantage for presentations, entertainment and branded content, reducing the amount of infrastructure that needs to be brought into the venue.
