The brand-new members’ club is the brand’s flagship in the North of England
Spanning 44,344 sq ft and sitting within the iconic former Granada Studios in the creative St John’s area, Soho House Manchester serves as the brand’s flagship in the North of England.
Now open and taking on new memberships, Soho House Manchester’s design pays homage to the spirit of the city in the 1950s when the building was in its prime as a television studio. You can expect to see mid-century shapes, bold patterns and carefully selected textiles and furnishings, all emulating the chic and elegant feel of that time.
Members can enjoy three floors of club space, a rooftop and pool, Soho Health Club, bedrooms, and a daily programme of curated events, while providing a vibrant hub for Manchester’s creative community to ‘connect, collaborate and thrive’.
Members enter the Clubhouse from Atherton Street into a welcoming reception area; from there, lifts provide access to Floor 1 for Soho Health Club; Floor 6 for bedrooms; Floor 7 for The Studio; Floor 8 for the Club Lounge, House Kitchen, and Pool & Lounge; and Floor 9 for the Club Bar and Orange Room.
Set just behind the Club Lounge, The House Kitchen seats 49 guests and offers an elevated
dining experience from morning through night. Inspired by the menus across our 48 Houses worldwide, the Club menu includes dishes such as Crab Fried Rice with shrimps, scallops and XO sauce from Soho House Bangkok, and House classics like Brick Chicken with spicy yoghurt, cherry tomatoes, grapes and basil from Soho Warehouse in Los Angeles. Dishes created especially for Manchester, such as the House Pie with monthly rotating fillings and the House Broth also feature prominently. Members can enjoy signature House Tonics, including the Soho Mule, alongside new additions such as the Upside Down Gibson, crafted with Tanqueray No. Ten gin, Cocchi Americano, salt, and a spicy pickled onion developed specifically for Soho House Manchester.
The Pool Lounge offers relaxed seating and dining that opens onto the rooftop, which overlooks Manchester’s creative district. The heated pool spans 3,013 sq ft and is open year-round, with individual loungers, casual seating, and four-post daybeds. A permanent art collection will be available to view at Soho House Manchester, comprising over 100 works by over 50 artists that were born, are based or have studied in the region.
Phase two of Soho House Manchester will see the launch of Soho Health Club on the first floor. The space will include a state-of-the-art gym equipped with Technogym and BLK BOX machines, a group fitness studio, a reformer Pilates studio, and sauna and steam rooms.
The reception area will feature a smoothie bar and a curated wellness retail offering. Members will be able to book individual and group personal training sessions, as well as daily fitness classes ranging from strength and conditioning to yoga and Pilates.
Until the Health Club opens, members can access a range of Pilates, yoga, HIIT, and mobility classes through local fitness partners, along with wellness workshops and a weekly Run Club led by renowned athletes Megan Davis and Jade Reilly.
Now running in 22 cities globally, Soho Mentorship - a scheme that pairs members with creatives from lower socioeconomic and underrepresented backgrounds in their city - aims to grow their confidence, connections and experience. The scheme has supported more than 2,000 young people since 2018 and will launch in Manchester from January 2026.
Each mentee is given a Soho House membership to help grow their network, and members
who take part receive training on how to deliver advice and coaching. Soho Mentorship is run in partnership with Creative Mentor Network.
The Soho Futures Grant aims to increase access to the arts and creative industries for people who face economic challenges or other barriers to inclusion.The one-off grants are offered to select individuals - chosen by a judging panel of Soho House members and team - to help them bring a creative project to life.
