EventCity
EventCity is a box. A very large box. But it’s the magic that happens inside that really counts. We think inside, as well as outside the box, to make life easy for you. As the second largest exhibition space outside of London with 28,000 sq. m.’s of space, free parking we are Manchester’s biggest and most flexible event venue.
The building was constructed in the late 1990’s, and has been used for a variety of commercial purposes over the last fifteen years. In 2010 the building was known as the ‘Museum of Museums’ a heritage and ‘edutainment’ venue, then launched as an official public events & exhibition centre, EventCity, in March 2011. Also ideal for private functions.
