Victoria Warehouse, The Tobacco Stores

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.

New for 2023, The Tobacco Stores represent the epitome of innovation. Recently converted into two areas, the 1858sqm space is intertwined with exposed brickwork, floor-to-ceiling windows, original archways and ancient steel columns.
Built in 1925 as a storage warehouse, The Tobacco Stores spans over our largest space, The Cotton Sheds, and its landmark position offers landmark views over Old Trafford football ground.
Its two adjoining spaces can be cordoned off to differentiate activity and consists of a fully-integrated kitchen and extensive PA system including 20 giant projector screens. It’s vast size allows for myriad uses across day and night from team building, to private functions, to contemporary product launches.
The Tobacco Stores is legacy to Manchester manufacturing and craftsmanship and its exuberant architecture, alongside our creative event team, will help shape ambitious concepts to impress delegates and colleagues alike.
