Why Hire
etc.venues Manchester is particularly strong for organisers who need a genuine conference venue rather than adapting a hotel or hospitality space for a corporate event. The combination of a 300-capacity main suite and numerous supporting rooms makes it especially effective for conferences requiring multiple breakout sessions, training programmes or complex agendas.
The dedicated conference wing also gives larger events the opportunity to create a more private environment, while the venue's integrated technology, in-house catering and experienced event team reduce the number of external suppliers an organiser needs to coordinate.
Its location is another major advantage. With Manchester Piccadilly, Oxford Road and Piccadilly Gardens all close by, the venue works well for both local delegates and national events bringing attendees into Manchester by rail.
