Winter Wonderland Black Tie Ball Manchester 2026

Yes, this is a shared party. The main party room is where dinner is served, and also where all the live music takes place during and after dinner. You won’t be asked to share a table with other groups, you’ll only be seated with your group.

Yes, no matter the size of your guest list you’ll have your own tables. You won’t have to share the table with anyone outside your party group.

Yes.

Your All-Inclusive Standard ticket includes unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks.

For £31 +VAT per person, you can upgrade to All-Inclusive Plus.  This gives you unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks — plus 6 single spirits (with or without mixers), or glasses of Prosecco.

With all options, all-inclusive drinks are served from 8pm until 12.30am.

This is a ‘black tie’ event. The best excuse to dress up and celebreate Christmas in style.

Having said that, the `black tie’ dress code is not compulsory. We’re relaxed about it and will leave it up to you to decide what you wear. There are no bouncers on the door glowering at you for wearing the wrong type of trousers and we won’t turn you away.

For men, if you fancy going full `black tie’, the look consists of a tuxedo, dress shirt, black bow tie and shiny patent leather shoes. However, if that isn’t your style, don’t worry.  A normal suit will be just fine.

For women, this is a rare and special opportunity to wear a formal gown — although, again, you don’t have to. If a full-length, floor-swishing number isn’t your thing, opt for the refined sophistication of a knee-length cocktail dress.

Yes they will. Once you’ve booked, we’ll send you a function sheet. Use this to let us know the names and dietary requirements of any guests. We’ll inform the chef so that each person is catered for appropriately.

The only exception to this is Kosher food. This cannot be prepared at the hotel, it comes via a separate caterer and incurs an additional charge. Call us on 020 7183 3821 and we’ll talk you through it.

To secure your booking, we’ll need a deposit of £55 + VAT per guest at the time of booking. The balance will be due 6 weeks (42 days) before the event.

We’ll be as flexible as possible. Please let us know about any changes before 1st November and we’ll do our best to accommodate them. Provided there is availability, we can add to your booking — although please bear in mind, we can’t guarantee this.

If you want to add guests, contact us on 020 7183 3821 or email [email protected]. We’ll let you straight away if there’s availability. If there’s enough space for additional guests, full payment will be required in order to secure the booking.

The minimum is 8 people. The maximum number for this event is 500.
