Manchester’s city-centre concert hall, which hires its auditorium and function rooms for conferences, exhibitions and dinners.
What the venue publishes
The Bridgewater Hall says its spaces can accommodate up to 1,800 delegates. The Auditorium, with tiered seating on four levels, is hired as part of an exclusive whole-facility rental. The Barbirolli Room with the Choir Circle foyer, the Charles Hallé Room and the Green Room are offered for conferences, seminars, training and smaller meetings, and foyers can be combined for exhibitions.
The venue says all conference rooms and foyer spaces have natural daylight, that standard room hire starts from 7.30am, and that its concert programme can limit evening availability. Its day delegate packages include room hire, three refreshment breaks, a finger buffet lunch and basic AV as a minimum.
