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.
Made up of two adjoining areas totalling over 300sqm, The Bays are our most popular event space. Built in 1932 for cotton stock, and later storage for Kellogg’s, McVitie’s and Cadbury’s; their rich history and interesting architecture make them ideal for corporate and showcase events.
A large pre-function space with a feature bar leads into the main room, which is complete with a full AV package. This includes screens and projectors, colour-changing down lighters on the pillars, a PA system, staging, microphone and relay screens; giving you a hassle-free event solution.

Came last night for the Bil Muri gig as a disabled person. The temperatures were excessive but ive never felt more supported in a space with such great accessibility assistance. We were supported by the staff so well. They came and offered drinks multiple times while there. Someone came to sell merc muliple times as the stand was not accessible but they did everything they could to support us. The accessible area was in a great spot. The only down side was the railing was a little to high for me to see over but there was space to see through the railings. Please pass on my thanks and love to the staff who were a credit to the team. It was genuinely wonderful to be able to access gigs again. I cranked my hog and smashed Brews (water) 🦅🐗
