Natasha and her team were absolutely lovely — friendly, helpful and incredibly well organised. Nothing was too much trouble, and they made everyone feel welcome from the moment we arrived.
The catering was also outstanding. Both lunches were delicious, but the chicken curry on the first day was particularly memorable!
I would highly recommend The Nest as a conference and events venue.

“The Nest is a beautiful modern space, perfect for hosting a corporate event. The staff were incredible, very attentive throughout the event. Every small detail was thought of, for example showing myself how to work the blinds and the temperature control etc. We got lots of compliments from the delegates throughout the event. The catch box was a great touch too, to make our event more interactive. The food was delicious too, and all our dietary requirements were met!”

“Thanks so much for all your help in organising the event – what a great find! It’s really difficult to find accessible venues in the Manchester area, with parking, suitable for our event so we were really pleased to have found The Nest. We were a little worried as we didn’t view the venue in advance – but the communication I received made me feel confident that the space would work – and when we arrived we knew we’d chosen the right place. “

But the best thing about the venue other than being of the highest standards is the staff, they make it work with a can-do and friendly attitude.

Natasha was amazing and maintained contact throughout our stay and made sure we delivered the best service to our customers.”

“What an amazing, bright, spacious, modern venue with fantastic acoustics. This venue was the home to over 140 ladies plus stall holders and caterers for an event I hosted to raise money for Breast cancer. Nothing was too much and nothing is forgotten by the wonderful Natasha. We used most of the venue with its high ceilings and quirky breakout areas. Definitely recommend it for a corporate event, training or private entertainment. 10/10 from me!”
Olayinka Seriki - UKTogether
“We love everything about this venue, a unique and hidden gem in South Manchester with a fabulous host, Natasha who made everthing seemless from the booking of the venue to how she managed our event on the day. Natasha was an exceptional host, her team did beyond what is expected. The scandivian feel of exterior and interior design of the building makes it very attractive. The use of colours, the hanging unbrellas in the ceiling in the main hall makes the room very welcoming and our guests were blown away. Impressive, high tech audiovisual equipments, electric warmer in the kitchen.”
Steve, Neighbourhood Officer, Manchester City Council
“Just want to say a huge thank you for your support and help in putting on what was such a successful event ion the 23rd. I knew we were in good hands but with all things stuff happens that can make for a nervous run up to the actual day. But as usual all went very well and worked out brilliantly and you as usual were awesome.”
Ministry of Justice
“The venue is superbly designed and the layout worked really well for us with the conference room and the break-out space. The staff were incredibly supportive and despite having another event at the same time were on hand to help in any way. The room was fully set-up and ready for us already. Holding our event at this venue most definitely added to it’s success and allowed for it to run smoothly.”
Angela, Training Programme Lead
“What a fantastic venue and catering – Natasha was incredibly helpful across the tow days.”
