Victoria Warehouse Hotel Venue Hire M17

 Victoria Warehouse- a completely unique, entirely innovative event space right at the heart of one of Europe’s most exciting cities, Manchester. Victoria Warehouse is about much more than any standard, off-the-shelf, pre-packaged, seen-it-all-before event space that you’ve ever come across. Our historic, landmark building and the rooms within have seen venues come and go and will still be standing long after many have been forgotten.

It’s all part of what make Victoria Warehouse unique and the events we stage equally so. Maybe there’s an event or project on your mind. If so, bee it a music concert, gala dinner, theatrical performance, exhibition, recording studio anything in fact, Victoria Warehouse have the facilities and the abilities to make it real.

Built in the 1900s, the flesh and bones of Victoria Warehouse has stood as a symbol of this city’s industrial strength and innovation for around 100 years, but it’s what’s happened under its skin that makes it a venue to really capture the imagination. A huge and massively flexible floor space means we can adapt to any event, a fact testified to by the diverse range of people, products and occasions its played host to.

The venue are proud to say that brands like BMW, Gap, The National Youth Music Theatre, The Warehouse Project and Jamesons have chosen to have Victoria Warehouse stage their events but the venue like to share its success with its home city too. By staging art exhibitions; experimental music and theatre shows, sporting events and cultural happenings that demand our particularly versatile space.

Victoria Warehouse actively seek out unconventional artists and events like these, not only to give them a place to flourish, but to continually feed the veune’s own vision. On top of this, the venue’s boutique hotel, spa, bar and bistro-style restaurant now occupy part of the first and second floor of the Victoria Warehouse Hotel, adjacent to the event space.

The Warehouse has 5 versatile event spaces:

Room 1

At 1185 sqm, Room 1 is the largest space available at Victoria Warehouse. Due to its square format and vast ceiling height it’s the perfect event room; Room 1 offers a stunning backdrop for a variety of event concepts. Room 1 has the service infrastructure to hold large performance events such as music concerts, sporting events and conferences. This means all event production (lighting, rigging, etc.) can be extremely easily installed.

It also works in its most natural state; excellent for creating warehouse type moods on photo-shoots and film locations.
