Sometimes the most persuasive advertising isn’t advertising at all. Check out the Google reviews for our Manchester meeting, training and conference venue and you’ll quickly discover outstanding feedback like this:
“Run like a 5-star hotel, this venue beats all other 'typical' meeting places hands down. Attentive staff, great food and top-notch facilities make this by far the best venue I've attended.”
Better still, that’s just one of 162 independent reviews that have delivered a 4.6 star (out of five) Google rating for our Manchester venue.
So, why so many rave reviews?






Conveniently located
Well, for starters, our venue is easy to reach. It’s located in the heart of the city within Manchester’s Piccadilly District at the centre of a transport hub with easy access to mainline and tram stations (in fact the tram stops just outside our door).
Conference and event space for up to 300 attendees
The venue is located on the eighth floor and provides wonderful panoramic views of this vibrant city overlooking Piccadilly Gardens.
Choose from 15 private meeting rooms of various sizes – perfect for training, workshops and brain-storming while the spacious private wing is ideal for larger events of up to 300 attendees.
Award-winning food
Whatever kind of event you have in mind, you can be assured that the quality of our food will ensure it’s a memorable one. Our award-winning chefs use the freshest seasonal ingredients to create snacks, breakfast and lunchtime dishes that won’t just fill you up, they’ll fire you up!
All our venues are purposefully designed and include:
- Robust and secure infrastructure to provide high speed Wi-Fi and seamless hybrid event connectivity
- Built-in AV including multi-screens that can be branded
- Floor-to-ceiling windows that allow plenty of natural light
- Vibrant colours that stimulate and inspire ideas and creativity
- Striking design and provocative art that reflect the surrounding area and prompts conversation among attendees
Our training and event venues are ‘supercharged not superficial’
All our training and meeting spaces are far more than just ‘spaces’. Unlike many event venues, ours are purposely designed – often from the ground-up – to host meetings, events and conferences. That’s why we say our venues are ‘supercharged not superficial’
