About Venue
Victoria Warehouse is an event space like no other in the heart of Manchester.
Our heritage in the cotton trade has been a symbol of strength and innovation in the city for more than a hundred years. Now, we’re channelling that spirit into Manchester showmanship.
The historic nature and unconventional surroundings of Victoria Warehouse have inspired Britain’s greatest brands. Co-op, Topshop, Mini, Jaguar Landrover, Kellogg’s and Manchester United have all chosen us to deliver an eclectic mix of sports and music shows, parties, gala dinners, conferences and meetings. And the verdict was unanimous: we are the venue for enthralling events.
But it’s not just a venue. Victoria Warehouse is supported by a team that know two events are never the same. They work hand in hand with our clients to adapt the space for large and small-scale events alike. Victoria Warehouse can be anything you want it to be. The limit is your imagination.
A beautifully refurbished, urbanised basement, The Archives have a raw, industrial charm. Exhibitions, award dinners, drinks receptions, conferences, meetings, and networking events all thrive between these walls.
Capturing a historic and eclectic theme, The Archives feature stripped-back brickwork and statement flooring, offering an unconventional setting that can accommodate most event concepts. From private parties to product launches, this renovated warehouse will mould to the theme of the occasion.

- Events By KnightAugust 2025
A brilliant industrial-style venue with loads of character. I’ve worked in many spaces, and this one really delivers for high-energy events. Great team and ideal for creative productions or live shows. Always a pleasure working here.

My friends and I paid £45 each to watch a low quality screen of the performance because the concert was clearly over-sold. We queued for over half an hour to get drinks and by the time we got them, there was no room to find a spot where we could actually see any of the performance. The drinks selection was decent but prices were pretty high. Unfortunately won’t be attending this venue for a concert at home again, may as well just watch it on YouTube.
