Aviva Studios is a global destination for arts, music and culture - and an event venue like no other. Born out of Manchester International Festival. Our spaces are without limits. From product launches and brand activations to fashion shows, gigs and public events, do something a bit different here.

At Aviva Studios, we're shapeshifters and explore the art of the possible.

With up to 13,200m2 of flexible indoor and outdoor space and room for up to 5,000 people, our spaces are without limits.

Four unique, flexible spaces are available for you to use in your own way. These can be hired individually or in combination to create large-scale, impactful events, with flexibility throughout.

The Warehouse is a space to make an impact - taller than four double-decker buses and longer than a passenger jet.. It’s a blank canvas, equipped with a retractable wall to the Hall, a universal technical grid, anchor points across the walls, a proscenium door and direct truck access. Accommodating up to 5000 people. The only limit to this space is your imagination. Think epic concerts, large conferences and gala dinners. The Warehouse and Hall are connected by the stage and separated by a retractable wall, this allows you to reconfigure the space.

    Fantastic concert hall! Very modern and arty inside and out, great food and drink options, lots of toilets including unisex all clean. Comfy seats watching Janelle Monae sound quality was brilliant. Only critic took a tumble up the stairs to the seats as they wasn't very well lit during support act and stairs had two steps close together and then a large gap so I miss stepped!

    Very nice place. Huge drinks and food area, and the theatre itself was fantastic. I went here with my two teenage children, to watch Kelly Jones from Stereophonics. Hopefully this place will get a few more gigs that interest me, as I'd like to go again!

    What an asset this venue is to Manchester, so much going on and highly accessible to everyone. I've seen several things here now and have bought the membership, which gets you priority bookings, amongst other things. The staff are first class, the productions will blow your mind and the food and drinks are fantastic. Highly recommend

    Went to explore the building which is near the river - gorgeous setting and building with lots of interesting interiors. Great space for a cuppa and to do some work. There was nothing on when I was there but some brilliant things coming up.

    Went to take a look at the new studios. Amazing large space for events but isn't fully finished yet so not at it's full potential. The food however was delicious from the bar. The veggie options were really tasty and presented beautifully.
