Let us welcome you to Manchester City Council’s largest and most prestigious park. We can cater for all your requirements from food and drinks through to major events.

Events Management
Why not hold your corporate event in the grounds of Heaton Park. From wine tasting in a marquee to hosting a national festival, Heaton Park is an excellent choice as your events venue. We have many years experience in holding both very large and small events. This regional park is well served by motorways and public transport and is an exciting place that attracts a large audience. If you would like to host an event at Heaton Park please contact Peter Davenport on 0161 773 1085 ext 213 or (M) 07717 660 109.

Filming
Heaton Park is used regularly for film and television productions.  Please contact Peter Davenport with any enquiries.

The Orangery

The Orangery is the principal function room at Heaton Hall and can cater for a wide range of events. Lit entirely by natural light and overlooking beautifully landscaped gardens, the venue creates a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere for any event.

As a distinctive venue for hosting business events, whether it is a training event for eight delegates or a seminar for eighty, light refreshments or buffet lunch, we can help plan the perfect function. Two locations are available, the Orangery or the Stables.

The Orangery is also the ideal venue to host your wedding reception, banquets, evening buffet or cocktail party. The library at Heaton Hall is licensed to hold civil ceremonies, and Smithy Lodge is the perfect place to spend the night after your celebrations.
