Outdoor venues in Manchester are best enjoyed in spring or summer months. Some of them are covered or partially-covered, so your party can continue even if it starts to rain. Some spaces, such as The Urban Courtyard, do feature heaters that will keep your guests warm in cooler weather. Apart from that, the majority of outdoor spaces are connected to a bar or a restaurant, so you can always ask the manager if there’s an option to move your event indoors if the weather decides not to cooperate.
