The Bridgewater Hall Concerts 2025

A fantastic music venue. I saw The Gipsy Kings perform here and it was an amazing concert made better by the great venue. The acoustics within the performance hall were incredible and the seating is all good. I don’t think there is a bad seat in the entire venue. The staff were all super friendly and helpful when within the venue and the outside security were effective and efficient ensuring a pleasant experience.

It’s a beautiful hall with good acoustics. We book the concert with parking however the address was not given except Q Park. The are two other parkings connected directly to the hall. I parked there and had to pay additionally. The address of Q park was on the voucher at the box office.

Bridgewater Hall is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and professionally managed concert halls I've experienced. Over the past three years in Manchester, I've attended many memorable concerts and performances in this venue. It's worth noting that when you purchase a ticket for the first time, understanding which floor you've selected can be a bit challenging, as tickets are labeled with the names of the floors rather than their numbers—Stall, Choir, Circle, and Gallery from the ground to the third. Throughout the year, you can reliably find valuable performances almost every two weeks. Ticket prices vary based on the performance, time, and seat. One strange aspect is that although you purchase your ticket online, you receive it by post within the next 48 hours. Additionally, for some performances, you can find cheaper tickets about an hour before the show starts in the venue.

Been here twice recently and what a hidden gem it is!!! Usually, I only look at 'arena' venues but a gig caught my eye... I'm a wheelchair user and so from the weekdays it said to phone them directly. They answered quickly and they were able to understand my needs and explain the seating arrangements they had to offer and what was best. Booking was easy and tickets posted to me. All floors accessible by lifts and we were shown to our seats. Great view! Very friendly staff everywhere!! It's intimate but on a grand scale, if that makes sense! At this point I have only seen the same show twice. The acoustics were amazing, the sound just... Perfect! So much so, we've booked a few more gigs to attend here!! Had a drink at the bar and all good. Don't know about the food, we didn't eat here. Plenty of places to eat and drink within walking distance and there is a large chain hotel right across the road if you are traveling here. Definitely our new favourite venue!

Went to watch Hans Zimmer v John Williams by the Manchester concert orchestra. Amazing experience. Pictures don't do it justice although we sat at the back you could see everything just fine. Seats were very spacious and comfy. Staff were extremely helpful. Only gripe is it was a bit slow and congested coming out but apart from that it was brilliant. If you haven't been to watch an orchestra there I recommend it. Plenty of toilets and bars on each floor. We worked at the Bridgewater car park around 3 minute walk away.
