The Old Wellington

The Old Wellington sits at the heart of Manchester City Centre, just a minute's walk from Manchester Cathedral and four minutes from the National Football Museum. Its single private space accommodates up to 50 standing, making it a focused option for receptions, drinks events or intimate gatherings where atmosphere matters. Warm lighting and clean lines give the room a considered feel without being fussy. On-site facilities include flatscreen display screens, high-speed internet, air conditioning, natural light, breakout rooms and onsite catering - a practical combination for events that need both comfort and connectivity. The space works as a contained environment, with everything managed under one roof. Getting there is straightforward. Exchange Square tram stop is a two-minute walk, Shudehill tram stop seven minutes, and Manchester Airport is around 31 minutes by car. For delegates travelling from further afield or arriving early, the central location puts much of the city within easy reach on foot.
