Step beneath the buzz of the city and into something altogether more atmospheric. Hidden within Refuge at the iconic Kimpton Clocktower Hotel, The Vault is a rare kind of private event space. Immersive, versatile, and unmistakably central to Manchester’s energy while feeling like a world of its own. Having played host to some of the most exciting parties in Manchester’s history, it is now open for private hire.
Designed to flex effortlessly between occasions, The Vault is made for everything from lively birthday celebrations to live entertainment, sports screenings and seasonal takeovers.
With a capacity of up to 300 guests, it’s spacious without ever losing its sense of intimacy. Whether you’re hosting a high-energy standing reception or an end of season wrap party, the room shifts with the mood of the moment.
There’s a genuine sense of arrival here too. A dedicated private entrance with security presence ensures your guests move straight from city streets into a space that feels entirely their own.
At the heart of The Vault is its 360 degree fully operational bar, complete with draft capability and flexible food service options, perfect for immersive branded experiences.
What truly sets The Vault apart, though, is its creative freedom. Bespoke event branding can transform the space entirely, making it ideal for launches or curated one-off experiences. Add to that a late licence until 3am, and the room becomes something increasingly rare in the city centre: a place where the night doesn’t have to end before it should.
