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 an 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.

    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!

    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.
