Birthday parties
VENUE HIRE
Host a truly memorable children’s birthday party at Manchester Museum, where fun and discovery go hand in hand.
PARTY PACKAGES FROM £180.
Celebrate surrounded by world-class collections, with easy access to our incredible galleries, giving young guests the chance to explore, discover, and create lasting memories with friends.
Our basic party package includes exclusive use of our party room and adjacent foyer space on Saturday mornings (10am–12pm), with an hour to set up beforehand and packdown afterwards. The foyer is ideal for catering, while the party room offers a comfortable, flexible space equipped with a projector, bean bags, and PA system, perfect for music or a favourite film.
To make the day even more special, you can enhance your party with optional guided tours, goody bags and packed lunches, creating a celebration that’s as unique as your child.
Once your initial room hire booking has been confirmed, you will receive a booking form where you can select and confirm any optional add-ons for your party.
