Community Lounge
A warm and welcoming entry to The Proud Place, the Community Lounge on our ground floor is the heart of the building. A place for visitors to have a hot drink after a drop-in session, or young people to meet before heading upstairs for one of our youth groups. The large bright windows let the light shine into a spacious lounge area. The movable wall allows the space to be changed to suit the needs of different groups, creating a more intimate room at the back of the building for anything from meetings to board game afternoons.

Capacity: 40 seated/75 exhibition events
£350 full day - £230 half day
This is a suggested donation, if you wish to pay with an additional method email - bookings@theproudtrust.org
The Community Lounge also contains our LGBT+ library, a cosy nook for reading, reflection and learning more about Manchester’s LGBT+ history.
