Venue Hire Manchester
Born from Manchester's cotton trade.
Built for Manchester's greatest events.
Hire a venue like nowhere else in the city.
One Building. A Century of History. Endless Possibility.
Victoria Warehouse was built in the 1920s for the Liverpool Warehousing Company, a cotton storage facility that became one of Manchester's most remarkable buildings. For close to 50 years, Kellogg's, McVitie's, and Cadbury's packed their products into The Bays. Today, those same walls host conferences, weddings, exhibitions, and celebrations for some of the world's most ambitious organisations, from 20 people in The Cinema to 3,500 in The Cotton Sheds. Get in touch today and find out what over a century of Manchester character can do for your event.
Call us on 0161 974 1200, email info@victoriawarehouse.com, or use the enquiry form below. We respond to all enquiries promptly - don't wait, your date may already be in demand.
