Hire Us

Castlefield Gallery is available for hire for breakfast meetings, seminars and evening drinks receptions. 

As a public art gallery, Castlefield Gallery holds up to eight art exhibitions a year that are researched and curated by the gallery’s Curator. Our exhibitions include  work by regional, national and international contemporary visual artists and provide a unique backdrop to your events and a stimulating talking point for your guests.

The gallery space is arranged over 2 floors. The larger of the two is the lower gallery space, with the upper space lending itself perfectly to more intimate events.  Features of the recently renovated gallery include a balcony overlooking the double height space and huge windows along two sides of the gallery.  The space can accommodate up to 100 people for a standing function/drinks reception, up to 45 people theatre style and between 3-14 delegates for breakfast meetings. (Exact guest capacity is dependent on the concurrent exhibition)

All public spaces in the gallery are fully accessible.

Located behind Deansgate train station Castlefield Gallery is conveniently situated with fantastic public transport links via bus, train or tram in addition to nearby car parks.
