Meeting and event spaces that inspire

Manchester Metropolitan University has a wide array of venues to suit your conference, event or summer school:

  • The Business School contains multiple tiered lecture theatres (largest capacity 250, can stream across 3 to 750 participants) a huge selection of breakout rooms in close proximity and exhibition space for up to 40 3mx2m stands across two atria.
  • The Dalton Building is our brand-new venue and closest to the city centre. Home to the Science and Engineering Faculty it’s a truly cutting-edge facility with high tech audio-visual equipment, ample natural light and versatile spaces perfect for conferencing, exhibitions and interactive learning workshops.
  • Brooks Building is the perfect venue for a collaborative conference or summer school. Beyond lecture and seminar room spaces, it also contains a multi-function sports hall, drama studio and large external plaza, all of which is perfect for an event which requires diverse spaces.
  • One of two recent additions to the University building stock, Grosvenor East includes a full theatre and roof terrace overlooking All Saints Park as well as rehearsal spaces, the Northwest Poetry Library, multiple breakout rooms and a lecture theatre.
  • The School of Digital Art (SODA) contains multiple hi-tech facilities and specialist studios. It is the perfect venue for smaller (100 max) conferences which need exhibition space with an emphasis on technical spaces such as TV and radio studios.
  • During the summer, we also have access to 800 ensuite rooms, 500 of which are situated in the brand new Archway Hall of Residence, a stones throw away from Brooks Building.

All catering is provided by our in house team of chefs, with a strong emphasis on local produce and sustainability.
