Victorian Hall at Manchester Art Gallery

About this space

The Victorian Hall is the original grand entrance to the Royal Institution.

Filled with natural light from the expansive skylights, and artworks from the collection, guests will enjoy the period features of the imposing Victorian architecture.

Utilise our in-house equipment to wash the space with coloured lighting, add a bar, a twinkling dance floor, a string quartet or even a brass band to welcome your guests! All your event needs taken care of.
