In 2009 we were delighted and privileged to be one of the first organisations to host our Association Gala Dinner in Manchester Cathedral in 600 years. The history and setting of this medieval building was an incredible experience on the night and is a great asset to Manchester in being able to provide a unique setting for Associations (such as ours) and other corporates to host memorable events /dinners.”
Doosan Corporation, an Official Patron of The Open Championship (also known as British Open), hosted its Gala Dinner in the Nave of Manchester Cathedral in 2012. The setting was a fitting place for our Chairman to host a myriad of world’s decision and policy makers; we were very pleased to be able to hold our dinner at Manchester Cathedral. The history and setting of this medieval building was an incredible experience on the night for all of our guests who attended from across the world.”
The European Nuclear Society (ENS) had the privilege in organising the ENC 2012 Dinner in the magnificent space which is Manchester Cathedral. Our dinner hosted in this prestigious venue was one of the highlights of ENC 2012 social calendar. We would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks to Manchester Cathedral and to Anthony O’Connor for your openness, flexibility and warm welcome extended to us. The professionalism of the team, together with the hospitable welcome and the music played by the Cathedral Organist, Christopher Stokes was wonderful. The dinner and entertainment went smoothly and to plan, this was very much appreciated by the delegates who had journeyed to Manchester from all over the world.”
Two years ago ICMIF, a global insurance federation for mutual and cooperative insurance companies, had to relocate their biennial conference from Tokyo to Manchester due to the Japanese earthquake. With six months to go, finding a location for a gala dinner for 400 people in the city centre was not easy. However, we found the absolutely and unexpectedly perfect venue in Manchester Cathedral. From the moment we walked in for a planning meeting, to be warmly greeted by Anthony and his team, we knew we would have a success on our hands. The evening itself was stunningly spectacular, with the backdrop of the elegantly gothic and beautifully illuminated cathedral around us, the scene was set for the most successful and enjoyable evening I have ever been involved with. Thanks to Anthony O'Connor (Director of Fundraising), Sue Cottingham (Design and Entertainment) and Jamie from Pickled Walnut (caterers) all of our delegates from all of the world were amazed, awestruck and truly honoured to spend such an entertaining evening in magnificent surroundings. I do hope someday that I will be able to use the venue again.”
