The University of Manchester Conferences & Venues

The University of Manchester Conferences & Venues sits within the Oxford Road Corridor, offering a substantial conference operation with capacity for up to 1,000 delegates across 16 spaces. University Place theatre A/B spans over 770 square metres and accommodates up to 1,000 in theatre style, while Whitworth Hall provides a distinctive alternative at 391 square metres for up to 675. Both spaces sit within a venue that includes breakout rooms, onsite catering, AV equipment, a sound system, high-speed internet and air conditioning.

The venue's recessed lighting and white ceilings give the main spaces a clean, considered feel. Manchester Piccadilly Station is a ten-minute walk away, with the Piccadilly Tram Stop reachable in six minutes. Manchester Airport is approximately 25 minutes by car. Manchester Museum and Manchester Central Convention Complex are both within an 18-minute walk.
