- Whether under-18s can stay all night, if it's a family party

How many birthday party venues are there in Manchester?

How far ahead should I book a birthday venue?
Friday and Saturday nights go first, especially from late November to New Year. Book Saturdays 6 to 8 weeks ahead if you can, and ask about midweek or Sunday rates, which are often lower.
Do I have to pay to hire a pub function room for a birthday?
Often not directly. Many pubs waive the room fee if your group spends a set amount at the bar or on food. Our guide to minimum spends explains how that works.
