@northbooklove @tinycharlotte72 - do you know anywhere?
@northbooklove Have you tried The House of Books & Friends? houseofbooksandfriends.com/upcoming-event…
@northbooklove Go norther. Newcastle, Sunderland
@northbooklove We are having a retirement do at the Briton protection pub on Friday night we are paying about a £10 for a hot buffet bit of an old man's pub but have a function room upstairs
@northbooklove There’s the upstairs of the Slug & Lettuce on Piccadilly Garden’s which has an outside terrace also - they have a contact form online. Double Tree Hilton at 1 Piccadilly (likely to be a bit more expensive), Velvet which is on canal street can hold up to 120 ppl. Dukes 92 is nice
@northbooklove Have you tried asking a school?
@northbooklove The Anthony Burgess Foundation was created for exactly this kind of event.
@northbooklove @vpeanuts Have you tried the peer hat? It’s a pub but they have a stage and seating downstairs
@northbooklove Contact @QueerLitUK possibly? They have an excellent event space downstairs, and bar/coffee shop/ bookshop upstairs x
@northbooklove If my house was bigger you could come here. I Sadly can't attend your events due to Agoraphobia.
@northbooklove Social refuge/queer lit!! Love it there, open and has a bar. Super inclusive and I think they just take a cut and don’t charge stupid amounts
@northbooklove Albert’s Worsley on the East Lancs Rd has function rooms, not sure what they charge but it’s a nice place.
@northbooklove What about House Of Books and Friends or was that the original venue
@northbooklove MMU Students Union is pretty big and has a bar (also hot food!) I know someone that would know more if that helps?
