Being the UK’s second city, Manchester is the educational, cultural and commercial centre for the North West region and therefore an incredibly popular choice of location with meeting planners for meetings, events and conferences.
With an array of venues able to cater for large-scale conferences and teambuilding events to small intimate meeting rooms it’s easy to see why Manchester was reported as the ‘fastest growing city’ economically in 2007.
Well situated with access by road via the M6, M56, M62 and M61, efficient train links to all major cities nationwide plus Manchester International Airport catering for international conference delegates, the city continues to regenerate, developing from an old industrial town into a centre for research, innovation and ‘cool’ thanks to a vibrant music and arts scene.
Venues and meeting spaces come in all shapes and sizes, whether academic venues, country houses, city centre hotels or illustrious sporting venues, none more so than Manchester United Football Club. This unusual venue boasts a conference centre, banqueting suite for 1,000, museum and restaurant, all with first class facilities. Alternatively, Manchester City Football Club and Lancashire County Cricket Club are also unique sporting venues with exhibition centres, conference suites and banqueting suites able to cater for both large and small events. Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Manchester with its numerous sites including Sackville Street and their joint venture One Central Park are academic venues offering a wide range of meeting rooms and conference spaces, training centres, exhibition centres and banqueting suites. The Manchester Museum and Manchester Town Hall are unusual and historic venues rich in the city’s heritage, whereas The Lowry and the Imperial War Museum North are iconic modern landmarks with outstanding conference facilities. Manchester Central Convention Complex with its 800 seat auditorium, exhibition centre, conference space and banqueting suite for 1000 is truly a spectacular venue for any event in a stunning historic setting. Manchester hotels also offer a wealth of choice, for example the modern Ramada Manchester Piccadilly, Mint Hotel Manchester and Manchester Conference Centre and Hotel with their training and exhibition centres and banqueting suites. Those seeking the elegance of the traditional country house historic venue should look no further than The Palace Hotel, Chancellors Hotel and Conference Centre and Marriott Worsley Park Hotel and Country Club, each having flexible meeting spaces, the latter two in idyllic rural settings.
