About The Tobacco Stores
400 Banquet
500 Theatre
800 Standing / Reception
240 Cabaret
Purple and blue lights wash across ancient steel columns as another extraordinary event unfolds in The Tobacco Stores. This 1,858 square metre space captures everything we love about Victoria Warehouse, with exposed brickwork telling stories of Manchester's industrial past while our modern lighting systems transform the atmosphere for each celebration. The sheer scale of this room gives you remarkable flexibility. We've hosted wedding receptions for 800 guests beneath these soaring ceilings, arranged theatre seating for 500 at corporate conferences, and created intimate cabaret layouts for 240. Those original archways frame different areas beautifully, particularly when our events team works with the two adjoining sections to create distinct zones for your celebration. During daylight hours, natural light pours through our floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the raw textures of brick and steel. Come evening, our atmospheric lighting takes over, creating whatever mood your event requires. We've seen fashion shows bathed in stark white light, product launches glowing in brand colours, and wedding parties dancing under warm, romantic hues. Our fully integrated kitchen sits ready to serve everything from canapés for a thousand to formal banquets for 400. The catering team knows these spaces inside out, offering halal, vegan and gluten-free options that work perfectly whether you're planning a standing reception or seated dinner. Twenty giant projector screens and our state-of-the-art PA system mean presentations, speeches and entertainment run flawlessly. Getting here couldn't be simpler, with Old Trafford's transport links bringing guests from across Manchester and beyond. The combination of our industrial architecture, modern technical capabilities and experienced events team makes The Tobacco Stores the canvas for your most ambitious celebrations.
