Why should I use VenueScanner?


There are tonnes of venue discovery sites in the UK and each will tell you that they’re the best. We’re no different, of course. But we do have reasons to back up this claim.

The first - and most important - is that our venue-finding platform is easy to navigate. Simply tell us a little about your event: the budget you’ve got to work with, the area you’re interested in and the number of people coming, and we’ll have a shortlist of suitable spaces in front of your eyes in no time. Doesn’t matter whether you’re organising a fancy corporate event or a humble gathering at a community hall, you’ll find something suitable here.


Another reason is that we’re particularly well represented in Manchester. There are just shy of 1,000 venues on our platform and they’re spread across the different districts of our wonderful city, from Salford to Spinningfields and Castlefield to Didsbury. We strive to offer the best bar venue hire Manchester has to offer, so if you know a venue that we should be featuring, drop us a line on [email protected].

One final reason to use VenueScanner to find an bar venue in Manchester is our people. They live and breathe venue discovery. They could talk about it for hours. Sometimes they do talk about it for hours. The point is: they are fountains of knowledge when it comes to venues and event-planning, and they are here to help you find your dream space in whatever way they can.
