About
People's History Museum
People’s History Museum offers a distinctive event setting in the heart of Manchester, combining striking historic architecture with contemporary spaces overlooking the River Irwell. Known as the national museum of democracy, the museum occupies the Grade II listed former Hydraulic Engine House and provides an unusual backdrop for corporate events, meetings, receptions, dinners and celebrations.
Located close to Spinningfields, the venue combines a central Manchester location with spaces full of character and industrial heritage. From light-filled rooms with riverside views to atmospheric museum spaces, People’s History Museum is particularly well suited to organisers looking for an alternative to a traditional hotel or conference venue.
