The Spotlight Room
A beautifully renovated event space located right next to the Palace Theatre.

Our History
When we noticed a bar next to The Palace Theatre move to another location in Manchester, we saw an opportunity to buy that space, renovate it and make it into an extraordinary event space for everyone and anyone to rent out. These events include anything from birthday parties to corporate parties. After extensive remodeling and renovation, Spotlight Room at the Palace was completed in the Fall of 2018.
The event venue features an abundance of vintage and modern styles. From original tin ceilings to giant, street-front windows, this event venue is everything you are looking for. The open concept leaves you room to move around, making the setup of any event completely flexible. Dimmable lighting and multiple colored uplighting give your event any type of ambiance you desire.
Each event is highly coordinated and we are willing to accommodate as many of your needs as we can. Pricing for Spotlight Room is a set fee, depending on the type of event. The space is able to accommodate 100 people. Time is typically based on a four-hour period, but exceptions may be made depending on the event.
