Where to celebrate the King’s Coronation in Manchester


As special day like the coronation calls for something unique to celebrate, which is where Adam Reid at The French comes in. The restaurant has been featured in the Michelin Guide with food described as ‘richly flavoured’ with a playful touch. The set tasting menu consists of modern British dishes with the signature Golden Empire dessert that is a must-try for those who like the finer things in life. With the high quality service and interior inspired by the Belle Epoque, eating at the restaurant is the true definition of a fine dining experience. It’s safe to assume that if the royal family came to Manchester, this is where they’d go out for a meal.

Cocoa Cabana is a venue frequently hired for special events such as baby showers or birthdays. The venue has photo-worthy interiors with beautiful cakes on display. If you’re looking for a place to head to after the coronation ceremony ends, Cocoa Cabana is where you can really treat yourself and relax with your friends. Just imagine devouring those delicious homemade cakes and cupcakes. You can also order afternoon tea and feel like a character from Bridgerton. Just remember to book a table in advance to avoid disappointment.

The coronation ceremony will be one of the most important events of recent years and we think you deserve to feel like royalty. At Richmond Tea Rooms you can have a taste of what living in a palace would be like as it features Alice in Wonderland-inspired interiors. Here you can enjoy a high quality afternoon tea, which includes a selection of finger sandwiches, mini quiche, sweet treats, hot drinks and a glass of champagne. If you have young children, it’s also a great idea to spend the day with them in a way they will enjoy. 

Grafton Arms is known to football fans as a place to share wins and losses with the local community. But on 6^th May, there will be no sides and everyone will unite to witness that special moment together. You can expect the venue to be extra crowded, but the screen is big enough for all to see. You can always order yourself a pint to ease the discomfort if you don’t get a seat, and munch on mozzarella sticks during the ceremony. There’s also a garden where you can get some fresh air and chat with other revellers.

The Feel Good Club is a cosy coffeehouse where you can grab snacks and treat yourself to something sweet (like stuffed cookies and brownies). The interior is airy and filled with plants, which makes it warm and homely. The venue is also located a short walking distance from the Piccadilly Gardens where you can watch the coronation on the big screen. Thousands of people are expected to gather here on the special day so it will definitely be memorable.
