About this venue
Empire House is a banquet and events venue at 2 Empire Street, Manchester. A current third-party directory lists it among Manchester function rooms and venues for hire and provides a telephone contact. Local reporting says it served events and received a permanent premises licence in 2023, while Fatsoma lists a ticketed Christmas Eve party at the same address for December 2026. Public hire is supported by the directory listing, but no operator website, room inventory, hire rates or current event capacity was found. Skiddle displays a 500-person nightclub capacity, which remains unverified.
