Bowlers Exhibition And Conference Centre, Hall

Have always wanted to visit this iconic Manchester venue and was not disappointed. Went to the second forever Manchester event in May. The different arenas are all good and appealing to be. In particular liked the main room. It has such a good rave feel. Door staff are super friendly and easy going. Toilets....Some are better than others. But not to bad. Drink prices are not cheap anywhere these days. And it's about what you would expect here too. Like £8 for a pint or shot and mixer. Crazy that they had fun fair rides indoors here....it is that big inside. Can't wait to go again next year. Would highly recommend checking out this perfect venue for raving.

Bowlers is a fantastic venue area, thought little out of the way for those with cars. They do have an on-site carpal that is limited (pay and display) and it is "reclaimed ground" from a previous building deconstruction. If they invested in propr tarmac for this area it would be fantastic. The BEC also has toilet facilities, good ventilation and easy access to the outside in case of emergency. Two bars, reasonably priced and their own food bar. Again, reasonably priced. The upstairs bar is Star Wars cantina themed.

Really cool place. Went there for a convention/live show. Had a great walk around the convention, wasn't the biggest space for one but it was used well. Great place for a concert as well, the con held a live show at night and it was so good, staff were great.
