Hexagon Room at Lowry

The Compass Room costs £1,400 for evening hire (18:00-00:30) or day hire (12:00-18:00). The room includes floor-to-ceiling windows with 360-degree views, private balcony, private bathrooms, bar area, and furniture. Basic AV equipment is included in room hire costs.

The Compass Room has a minimum booking requirement of 80 people and maximum capacity of 180 for dinner (reduced to 160 if space for dancing is required). The venue cannot accommodate events below 80 guests in this space.

Hot fork buffet starts from £16.75 per person (£12.00 for children), 3-course meals from £34.00 per person (£15.00 for children). A minimum of 80 people for catering is required for the Compass Room, and a minimum buffet is mandatory for evening events.

External catering is only permitted for religious purposes. If approved, there's a separate dry hire package costing £4,500, which includes dry hire of the Compass Room and kitchen with furniture provided.

The venue sends a booking contract that must be signed on pages 3 and 12. Once the signed contract is returned, a deposit invoice for room hire only is sent. The booking is not confirmed until the signed contract is received.

The venue operates on a "joint first option" basis when multiple clients are interested in the same date. This means dates are held for interested parties, but it becomes first-come-first-serve once multiple enquiries are received for the same date.

Prosecco costs £36.00 per bottle, wine from £24.00 per bottle, bottled beer £6.00 per bottle, and elderflower presse/juices £4.50 per litre. Canapés are available at £14.00 per person, and tea/coffee costs £2.25 per person.

The venue confirms that their chicken is certified halal. They have finger buffet options available and can accommodate various dietary requirements, though specific details would need to be discussed during event planning.

After signing the contract, the venue prefers direct email communication rather than through the Hirespace platform, as the platform blocks additional email addresses. You'll be connected with their event planning team to discuss specific event details and requirements.

For smaller groups, the Hexagon Room costs £850 plus VAT and offers contemporary space with LCD projector, screen, and PA system. However, it may exceed budget for smaller events, and the Compass Room has an 80-person minimum requirement.
