Conferences

At the Monastery
The
perfect place
to
clear the mind

In ancient days, the wise ones escaped the workaday world by going on retreat so they could take time out to think clearly. Nowadays we call this concept conferencing! Our modern day Monastery has been designed for just that purpose.

An urban retreat
on your doorstep

The Monastery is the perfect urban retreat, situated just 10 minutes from Manchester City Centre. Reconnect with your inner wisdom and insights. This is a place where you can listen to your thoughts, and hear them clearly.

Welcome
to the
future

We can connect an Apple TV to an HD screen, so you can instantly throw up presentations from iPhones or iPads. Our Wifi is free. In addition, we can add augmented reality to your event for that extra little touch of magic!

Versatile and
beautifully designed
spaces

With multiple options for meeting spaces and break out rooms, we can adapt to whatever you need from meetings for 10 to 450 people. You can also hire our 4D Immersive Pod for an unforgettable experience.

Having so many wonderful events at The Monastery creates the incredible aura which has become the hallmark of our beautiful venue. It’s an honour when you have your Conferences with us!  Paying attention to every last detail is built into our DNA. We want to ensure that everything is exactly as our clients request. Taking the burden of organisation on the day is a big part of our job, working alongside the event planners as best suits our clients. Anticipating changes in requirements is also part of our job as we know that occasional ‘adjustments’ are inevitable.

Ensuring that guests at our events enjoy their day with us is paramount.  An important part of this is the quality of the food and drink that we offer, as well as the speed and consistency of service delivery.

Not only that you will be helping the building keep maintained and in a fantastic condition by holding your event here!

The Monastery has the most versatile spaces that you’ll find in any events venue, offering incredible flexibility in ensuring plans for the day exactly match the needs and guest numbers for all of our clients.  For precise details of those spaces, a PDF of our floor plans is available by clicking here.
