FAQs about 21st Birthday Party Venues in Manchester
How much should you spend on a 21st birthday party?
As with any birthday, there isn’t a particular number that you should spend on your birthday and we recommend creating a budget that you are personally comfortable with. In Manchester, you should expect to put aside around £300 to £5000 to hire a venue for a respectable 21st birthday celebration. Here are some details of the different pricing types you'll encounter:
- Minimum Spend. Many venues in Manchester operate on a minimum spend basis. This means that instead of paying a direct hire fee, you agree to spend a certain amount on food and beverages during the event. The typical minimum spend ranges from £400 to £1,000 per session.
- Hire Fee. Some venues charge a flat hire fee for using the space. The hire fees can vary widely, from as low as £250 to as high as £2,000 per session. This fee generally covers the cost of renting the space and may include basic amenities such as tables, chairs, and audiovisual equipment.
- Hourly Rate. For those who prefer a shorter event or more control over the total time spent at the venue, some places offer an hourly rate. The hourly rate for venue hire in Manchester typically ranges from £50 to £150 per hour. This can be a cost-effective option for smaller, more intimate gatherings that don’t require an entire evening.
- Event Packages. Another common pricing model is per person, which is especially useful for package deals that include food, drinks, and entertainment. Prices per person usually start from £20 and can go up to £60. These packages often include a set menu or buffet, a certain number of drinks per guest, and sometimes additional services like entertainment or decorations. (All data from Tagvenue.com)
How do I hire a 21st birthday party venue in Manchester on a budget?
For this particular event type, the most common pricing option in Manchester is minimum spend, which is practically a cheat code for keeping your birthday party low budget. With a minimum spend, you commit to spending a certain amount on food and drinks, instead of having to pay out of pocket for using the venue.
To understand the minimum spend pricing option better, check out our blog post on the topic.
What can I do in Manchester for my 21st birthday?
The city is full of fun activities for you to choose from, such as:

- Creative activities, meant for those who prefer to commemorate their birthday with a new art piece to add to their collection. Take your friends to a paint and sip evening, a pottery class or a jewelry making workshop.
- Food and drink experiences, such as a cocktail-making class, cooking class or even just sitting down on a several-course meal at a renowned restaurant. This option is perfect for any big foodie out there, just looking for a reason to splurge on a tasty meal.
Or you can always go the old-fashioned route of drinking, dancing and chatting with your mates in one of the many casual pubs in Manchester!
