Absolutely — here are venue ideas in Manchester, NH that range from smaller, community-oriented spaces to larger seminar/meeting rooms you can consider for your Asperger’s seminar. I’ve especially included more intimate or flexible spaces you might not have thought of, including peer support and community-friendly locations (and notes about On the Road to Wellness in case you want to connect or partner directly with them).On The Road to Wellness<ref>{{cite web|title=On The Road to Wellness|url=https://www.otrtw.org/manchester/|publisher=On The Road to Wellness|access-date=2026-01-02}}</ref>

===== 🟠 Small & Community-Friendly Venues =====

These are great for smaller seminars, peer discussions, or community meetings (20–60 people) — and often easier/affordable to book:

Local Meeting & Community Spaces
* Manchester City Library meeting rooms – Multiple sizes from small (4–15) to larger rooms (25–175). Reserve through the library; good for community talks.

* Manchester Park Building – Conference or meeting rooms at reasonable hourly rates; the smaller conference room holds about ~12. manchestermo.gov<ref>{{cite web|title=manchestermo.gov|url=https://www.manchestermo.gov/DocumentCenter/View/4302/Facility-Rental-information-updated-Nov-2021pdf|publisher=manchestermo.gov|access-date=2026-01-02}}</ref>
* Davinci Meeting Rooms – Professional meeting rooms you can rent by the hour or day. Davinci Meeting Rooms
* Spark Offices @ The Mills – Small professional meeting room for ~8 people (great for workshops before/after your main event). em.liquidspace.com<ref>{{cite web|title=em.liquidspace.com|url=https://em.liquidspace.com/us/nh/manchester/spark-offices/meeting-room-1|publisher=em.liquidspace.com|access-date=2026-01-02}}</ref>

Local Event/Community Venues (Relaxed & Flexible)
* Community Leadership Center (CLC) – Community-oriented space great for local groups.
* The Falls Event Center – Cozy event space for smaller gatherings.
* Spotlight Room at the Palace – Intimate room perfect for talks/discussions.
* AR Workshop Manchester – Creative space that could fit a workshop vibe.
* Queen City Room – Banquet room good for mid-sized seminars.
* Local coffee shops or small meeting spaces — these aren’t formal venues but can work for smaller breakout sessions (e.g., community coffee shops; local residents often suggest these as informal gathering spots).

* SNHU Conference Services – University meeting/conference rooms with professional amenities.

===== ❤️ Peer Support & Possible Partner Venue =====
* On the Road to Wellness (Peer Support Center) – This peer-center in Manchester offers a supportive environment for people engaged in mental health and recovery and operates intentional peer support groups. You could explore partnering with them to host or co-host your seminar, especially if your focus includes lived experience and community connection. They’re located on South Willow Street and provide peer support services to adults in the region. On The Road to Wellness<ref>{{cite web|title=On The Road to Wellness|url=https://www.otrtw.org/manchester/|publisher=On The Road to Wellness|access-date=2026-01-02}}</ref> Note: They aren’t a traditional “event space rental” company — but doing a collaborative event with them might help reach more participants who already engage with peer support services.

==== 🧠 How to Choose the Best Spot ====

Here’s a quick way to decide:
* Under ~15 attendees: Small meeting rooms (Davinci, library small rooms, coworking spaces).
* 20–60 attendees: Community centers (CLC, Falls Event Center, Spotlight Room).
* Larger seminar (~60+): Puritan Conference Center or SNHU.
* Partner/Community focus: On the Road to Wellness or library room + community outreach.

==== 💡 Tips for Booking & Accessibility ====

✅ Ask about accessibility — sensory-friendly setup, quiet areas, lighting, and easy entry/exit.

✅ Non-profit discounts — many community venues offer reduced rates for community or nonprofit events.

✅ Reserve early — popular community rooms fill up fast.

✅ Consider hybrid options — livestream or recording for people who can’t attend in person.

If you want, I can help you draft a sample email to inquire about booking a space (including how to describe your seminar and its goals), or suggest agenda and outreach text for flyers and social media!
