About Agora
80 Theatre
80 Standing / Reception
20 Cabaret
The glass roof transforms everything about the Agora. We've watched countless product launches and networking events come alive under the natural Manchester light that floods this 80-person space throughout the day. Corporate teams particularly love how the daylight energises their workshops, while evening gatherings take on a different character as the city lights filter through above. Our flexible layout means your event works exactly as you envision it. We can arrange theatre-style seating for 80 guests when you're presenting to a full house, create an open reception space for the same number when networking is the focus, or set up intimate cabaret tables for 20 when you want deeper conversations. The segment artwork sofas offer comfortable breakout areas, and our stackable chairs move easily when you need to reconfigure mid-event. Tech setup happens smoothly here. The 80-inch flatscreen displays your presentations in sharp detail, while our Poly G7500 conferencing system connects remote participants without the usual technical headaches. We've placed power sockets strategically throughout, so laptop batteries never become an issue during those longer strategy sessions. The Agora sits in the heart of Manchester's startup district on Portland Street, with both Oxford Road and Deansgate stations under 10 minutes away on foot. This Grade II listed building adds character to your events, while the lift access ensures everyone can join comfortably. Our external catering partners know the space well and can deliver everything from morning pastries to full evening receptions. We've hosted everything here from investor pitch nights to team celebrations, product reveals to industry panels. The cloakroom keeps coats organised, the Wi-Fi handles whatever demands you place on it, and the semi-private nature of the space gives your gathering its own identity within our innovation hub.
