About this space

St Alphonsus Parish Centre is located just off the inner city ring road in the heart of Old Trafford - only 3.5 miles from Manchester City Centre. We are in close proximity to Chorlton, Stretford and the Old Trafford football and cricket stadia. We are situated within walking distance to multiple public transport links and have a large onsite car park.

The building itself dates from the early 1900s with plenty of original features still intact; adding that nostalgic feel to your event.

Our main function room can accommodate 200 people and comes with cosy booths, bench seating, breakout buffet service, and a large dance floor.

We have a bar facility stocking all the top brands at reasonable prices and also have to offer a fully functioning catering kitchen which allows us to provide buffets and banquets for all occasions and suiting all budgets. Please note, outside catering is allowed at our venue for an additional kitchen hire cost of £60. Customers can choose whether to hire the space with the bar open or have the room-only option.

We can give discount rates for good causes and we are open to providing discounts and special offers for regular and large-scale activities.
