This festive season, The Dome in Spinningfields transforms into a spectacular Winter Oasis, capturing the magic of a snow globe.
With its panoramic views from the rooftop and cosy ambience, it's the ideal location for private events (minimum 25 people). They have a range of menus available, from canapes to street food, complete with a variety of drinks packages too.
@ The Oast House on Fri, 17th Oct 2025 - Sat, 28th Feb 2026
Manchester's most beloved winter pop-up is back, and it's bigger, brighter, and cosier than ever. The Teepee at The Oast House returns to Spinningfields, bringing crackling fires, rustic wooden interiors, and more twinkle than Santa's sleigh.
It's the perfect blend of festive cheer and après-ski vibes, with live music every night, house-cooked food, and pints of Staropramen fresh from the tank. Gather your mates, sink into the faux-fur seating, and soak up the snug, candlelit atmosphere.
Celebrate the holidays like never before at Courts Club, which is reimagined as Winter Assembly this yuletide season. Reserve a chalet karaoke hut for your own private party, soak up the twinkling lights and enjoy festive film screenings under the stars.
Treat yourself to warming boozy hot chocolates and feast on festive street food, all set against the backdrop of beautiful Christmas trees and inviting marshmallow fire pits.
While it was once best-known as a gorgeous igloo restaurant in Manchester, The Lawn Club is now the place to check out a pop-up winter yurt with funky fairylights and cosy candles. Grab your loved ones and head to the fairy-lit pergola or book into the tipi for the full festive experience.
@ Sale Golf CLub on Various dates from Friday 5th December 2025
Located at Sale Golf Club, YurtBar Manchester is a cosy, après ski-inspired pop-up that's perfect for Christmas parties. This cosy space is filled with ski racks, fur throws, piste maps and pine trees, and there's even a 360 photobooth complete with falling snow.
Expect live DJs and saxophone players bringing the music, while you sip alpine-themed cocktails, Champagne, wine or beer from the bar. Plus, caterers Hog and Apple are cooking up a pretty tasty menu as well.
From last year onwards, their The Black Friar swapped their outdoor dining pods in Manchester igloos for a Winter Tavern. The space in their award-winning garden offers warming cocktails and hot toddies aplenty, alongside a festive menu, glittering candles, roaring fires and furs to snuggle into. Better yet? There are even cosy individual huts in the garden too.
These Christmas huts in Manchester are ideal for a karaoke party this festive season. Get ready for bombardino cocktails filled with hot rum, mulled wine and eggnog, as well as their famous shots served on a ski, followed by the chance to belt out your favourite tunes across the private ski chalet-inspired space.
