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 700sqm, The Bays are our most popular event space. Built in 1932 for cotton stock, and later storage for Kellogg’s, McVitie’s and Cadburys, 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, lecterns, mics and relay screens, giving you a hassle-free event solution.

Chris Currie Photography
Chris Currie Photography definitely recommends Victoria Warehouse as a wedding venue. Victoria Warehouse offers a unique and memorable setting, blending industrial heritage with modern luxury. This helps to create a unique setting and backdrop to one of the best days of your lives. The staff are lovely and so welcoming. My job as a photographer was made so much easier by how well I was treated. Totally recommend the venue!

I love the place and gig. Had good fun
Prue
It always feels terribly laid out, but it's better now there's no bars on the dancefloor. Always a squeeze, always a bit too warm, and the drinks are mad expensive. They always make the entry super long walk through a muddy carpark even when there's no queues too? Aware it's a gig venue so there's always gonna be jostling and marked up bevs, but its my least favourite venue in the city. Toilets are decent, bar staff are super nice and attentive.
