The best places to host an exhibition in Manchester

As one of the largest cities in northern England, Manchester is a vibrant metropolis that attracts exhibitions of all sizes. Most event planners begin their search with the Love Factory, central Manchester's premiere exhibition and convention space. Located on Dantzic St, the Love Factory is a former warehouse repurposed into an event venue as the UK's industrial era faded into the past. You have over 11,000 sq feet of space to work with for exhibitions, performances, conferences, and other large capacity events! The AO Arena Manchester is another top option as it has space for up to 21,000 people in the facility. The AO Arena welcomes over a million visitors per year, making it one of the world's busiest exhibition venues. As an indoor sports venue it also hosts professional basketball, swimming, and boxing matches.

Holding a photo exhibition in Manchester

Art exhibitions have different requirements from trade shows or conventions. You'll need amenities like ceiling-mounted lights for art installations. Photo exhibitions also have space for artists to set up displays, tables for book signings, and other personal touches. The Greater Manchester Arts Centre regularly hosts art and cultural themed exhibitions. It's a venue offering not only space for photography to hang on the wall but separate event spaces as well. You can hire one of their meeting rooms for lectures, a screening room for a film on photographic history, and much more! Photo exhibitions can also be held in venues ready to be transformed with the right amenities. Loft studios, warehouses, restaurant dining rooms, banquet halls, and hotel conference rooms are just a few spaces suitable for a photo exhibition. If you're expecting many out of town visitors, consider booking an exhibition space close to hotels, restaurants, parking facilities, and other amenities.
