New Century Christmas Party 2025

New Century is one of Manchester’s most talked-about venues - a Grade II listed building with a history rooted in music and culture, now reimagined as a modern space for food, drink and events. During the Christmas season, New Century comes alive with festive energy, making it an incredibly popular spot for corporate Christmas parties and private celebrations right in the heart of the city.

New Century offers three very different spaces, all available for private hire. New Century Hall is the showpiece - a large-scale event space with its original wooden panelling, illuminated ceiling and sprung dance floor still intact. It’s designed for big Christmas parties, whether that’s a seated dinner for 420 guests or a more informal standing reception for up to 900 people.

On the middle floor, New Century Kitchen offers something a little more realxed. It’s a vibrant food hall that flips into a social party space by night, complete with its own stage, PA system, terrace and even a tucked-away private bar. With room for up to 600 standing, it’s ideal for companies looking for a Christmas event that feels more like a night out.

For smaller groups or those looking for something more intimate, The Basement is a music-first space with state-of-the-art sound and lighting. It’s perfect for late-night parties, live acts or DJ-led events with a Christmas twist.

Whatever space you choose, every event at New Century comes with in-house production, security and event management, plus plenty of options for food, drink and entertainment. From three-course festive dinners to street food, DJs to live bands, our Christmas Party Specialists will help shape the night around your group.

Located in Manchester’s NOMA district, just a short walk from Victoria Station, New Century is as central as it gets. If you’re searching for a Christmas party venue with history, character and plenty of flexibility, New Century delivers.
