Mobile bar hire in Manchester, from a converted horsebox.
Mobile bar hire in Manchester for weddings, brand launches and warehouse parties.
Bar hire built for Manchester events
Manchester has a strong bar culture, so guests notice when the drinks are an afterthought. Our mobile bar hire in Manchester is built to hold its own: a bespoke menu, two uniformed bartenders as standard, scaled to your guest numbers, and a bar that's set up and pouring within around 90 minutes of arrival.
Converted mills and warehouses often come as empty shells, which is exactly where a self-sufficient bar earns its keep. The horsebox brings its own running water and amber lighting, so you don't need to build a bar into a space that was never designed for one.
Manchester's mill and warehouse venues are made for a horsebox bar — high ceilings, raw brick and a bar that arrives already looking like the centrepiece.
Every booking is part of our mobile bar hire service: two uniformed bartenders as standard, scaled to your guest numbers, plastics as standard with glassware on request, and set up and pouring within around 90 minutes.

Wedding bar hire in Manchester
Wedding bar hire in Manchester tends to split two ways: industrial-style city weddings in mills and warehouses, and country-house or marquee weddings out towards Wilmslow and the Cheshire border. The horsebox suits both — raw brick and timber on one side, lawns and festoon on the other.
We'll plan arrival drinks, the toast and an evening bar around your running order, with signature cocktails named after the two of you. See our full wedding bar hire page for timings, staffing and drinks packages.

Ways to book the bar
It comes down to three simple questions:
- How long? Up to 4 hours, 4–8 hours, 8–12 hours.
- Who's paying for drinks? Guests pay, You're treating them, A bit of both.
- Or just the bar? Dry hire — see dry bar hire.
Need the room to match? Book two or more Lunar services for a multi-service saving — our packages bundle the bar with sound, lighting and light-up letters.

Mobile bar hire Manchester — questions
How much does mobile bar hire cost in Manchester?
Every Manchester event is quoted individually against guest numbers, how long you need the bar and who's paying for drinks — guests, you, or a bit of both — or dry hire with your own stock. Send us the date, venue and guest count and you'll have a clear quote within 24 hours.
Do you charge travel to Manchester?
Manchester is more than 30 miles from our Coventry base, so we add a clear, agreed travel figure to the quote up front — never a surprise line on the final invoice.
Which Manchester venues do you work at?
We're not tied to a venue list. The horsebox is fully self-sufficient, with its own running water and amber lighting, so it suits most indoor and outdoor sites with vehicle access. We'll liaise with your venue directly on access and licensing.
Can you supply the alcohol licence in Manchester?
Yes — for staffed hire we handle the licensing. For dry hire, licensing sits with you or the venue and we'll talk you through what's needed.
How far in advance should we book?
Peak Saturdays in summer typically go 9–12 months out. Midweek and off-season dates are often available at much shorter notice — always worth asking, and we reply within 24 hours.
