Get Your Own Party Pod: The Insider's Guide to Igloo Hire in Manchester

Manchester. A city buzzing with energy, creativity, and a legendary social scene. It’s a place where we work hard and play harder. But when it comes to hosting your own do, finding a space that’s a bit different, a bit special, can be a challenge. And let’s not even mention the famously reliable Manchester rain, which has a habit of showing up uninvited to every garden party.

So, how do you host a brilliant get-together that’s guaranteed to be a hit, come rain or shine? We’d like to introduce you to your new best friend: the garden igloo. These incredible party pods are the perfect way to create a unique, weatherproof, and seriously cool venue right in your own backyard. Forget trying to book a city centre bar; bring the party home instead. As event pros, we’ve seen igloos transform countless gatherings from ‘nice’ to ‘absolutely unforgettable’, and this is our guide to helping you do the same.

Why an Igloo is a Cracking Idea for Your Next Get-Together

We get it. An igloo in Manchester might sound a bit random, but hear us out. These aren't chilly, ice-block structures. They are stylish, heated domes that provide a cosy sanctuary for any occasion. The real magic is how they create an intimate and exclusive atmosphere, turning your garden or patio into a VIP lounge for the night.

It’s about making your celebration stand out. Poptop specialises in these kinds of extraordinary services that go way beyond the typical party offerings. Hiring an igloo allows you to create a memorable and exciting event that surprises your guests and shows off your unique style. It’s a guaranteed talking point and the backdrop for some seriously good times.

From Match Day to Game Night: Ideas for Your Igloo Party

One of the best things about hiring an igloo is its versatility. It’s a blank canvas you can adapt for pretty much any celebration you can think of. Need some inspiration? Here are a few ideas we love for a Manchester pod party.

• The Ultimate Match-Day Viewing Party: Whether you’re red or blue, watching the match is a sacred ritual. Instead of crowding into a packed pub, why not create your own private box? Kit out an igloo with a big screen, comfy seating, and a cooler full of beers. You get all the atmosphere with none of the hassle. It’s the perfect setup for cheering on the lads with your best mates.

• Brilliant At-Home Birthdays: Mark another year around the sun in style. An igloo provides a fantastic party space for an intimate birthday bash, whether it’s a sophisticated dinner, a casual get-together with cocktails, or a full-on karaoke session. You get a special venue without having to leave the house.

• Stylish and Serene Baby Showers: Celebrate the mum-to-be in a beautiful, relaxed setting. A garden igloo decorated with balloons and flowers is a wonderful space for a baby shower. It’s private, comfortable, and feels much more personal than a rented room in a restaurant.

• Epic All-Night Gaming Sessions: Ready to take your gaming night to the next level? An igloo can be transformed into the ultimate gaming den. Blackout blinds, a massive screen, your console of choice, and enough snacks to see you through to dawn. It’s the perfect immersive experience for a legendary tournament with your friends.

• Cosy Christmas Drinks: When the festive season rolls around, an igloo becomes your very own backyard grotto. String up some fairy lights, get the mulled wine warming, and stick the Christmas playlist on. It’s a wonderfully cosy spot for festive drinks and mince pies with the people you love.

Whatever your vision, our suppliers are masters at tailoring their services. From the layout to the lighting, they’ll work with you to make sure the final result is a personal experience that perfectly matches what you have in mind.

Finding Your Spot: Perfect Places for a Pop-Up Pod in Manchester

You don’t need a massive country estate to host an igloo party. They are designed to fit into all sorts of urban spaces, making them ideal for a city like Manchester.

Here are the typical spots where we see them pop up:

• Victorian-Terrace Gardens: The classic Manchester back garden! These long, narrow spaces are perfect for an igloo, transforming a simple yard into a party destination.
• New-Build Patios: If you’re in one of the newer developments around the city, your patio provides a clean, modern, and perfectly flat base for an igloo setup.
• Pub Beer Gardens: Chat to your local landlord! Many pubs are happy for you to hire an igloo for their beer garden, creating a private bookable space for their customers.
• Community-Hall Hardstanding: Planning a bigger community event or fundraiser? An igloo (or several) on a hardstanding area next to a community hall can create an amazing indoor-outdoor flow.

And you don't need to be an event-planning guru to sort it. The Poptop platform is designed to be incredibly simple. All you need is your event date, number of guests, and your postcode to instantly see a whole range of services that are a perfect match for your event.

Choose Your Vibe: Styling Your Manchester Igloo

This is the really fun part: deciding on a theme. The decor is what turns the dome from a cool structure into an immersive experience.

• Industrial-Chic Snug: Give a nod to Manchester's industrial heritage with this effortlessly cool theme. Think exposed Edison bulbs, dark wood or metal furniture, and comfortable leather seating. It’s a sophisticated, grown-up vibe that’s perfect for a cocktail party or milestone birthday.

• The Ultimate Hygge Lounge: When the Manchester weather is doing its thing, there’s nothing better than getting cosy. Embrace the Scandi concept of 'hygge' with soft textures, warm lighting, faux fur throws, and plenty of cushions. It’s all about creating a warm, inviting, and utterly relaxing atmosphere.

• Neon/Glow Party Den: Ready to go all out? Turn your igloo into a mini rave cave. With UV lighting, neon decorations, and a banging sound system, you can create an incredible glow-in-the-dark party that your guests will never forget. Just add glow sticks.

• The Festive Snug: For a party in November or December, a festive theme is a must. Transform your igloo into a magical Christmas snug with fairy lights, tartan blankets, mini Christmas trees, and maybe even a station for decorating gingerbread.

The Details: Cost, Setup, and What's Included
