Easy access for both national and international delegates (the city centre is just 15 minutes by train from the airport), a wide range of venues accommodating events of all sizes and an array of leisure and restaurant options, are just some of the reasons why Manchester is regarded as a world-class conference destination.
Large-scale conferences and events can be accommodated at a number of city centre venues; the largest being Manchester Central. There’s also Manchester University, Emirates Old Trafford and Man United, as well as many hotels offering event spaces of all sizes.
Our venue finders have organised successful events in Manchester at many different types of Manchester venues, from the studios at MediaCityUK, to city centre museums, to luxury country hotels.

You’ll save time using our free venue finding service – we’ll find the best venues to suit your brief; negotiate rates and send all details in a proposal with floor plans and images to illustrate how the space will work for you.

For smaller meeting and events, central Manchester offers a wide range of high quality, flexible venues from academic institutions, dedicated conference and training venues, iconic sports stadia, unique venues and attractions, as well as branded and independent hotels.
Within easy reach of the city centre and the major road and rail links, there are many excellent country-house hotels and resort-style properties suited to a more informal ‘get away from it all’ meeting; perhaps combined with team activities in the venues’ grounds or leisure time in a luxurious spa or on the golf course.
Manchester Airport is a major hub for European and international travel, making it an ideal location for a meeting. With world-class brands on the doorstep including Radisson Blu Manchester Airport, connected to the terminals via a covered walkway and Marriott and Hilton hotels just a short drive away, residential events of all sizes can easily be accommodated.
