The Archives sits beneath Victoria Warehouse's historic floors, where original brickwork meets contemporary design in 300 square metres of versatile event space. We've preserved the raw character of this basement room while adding every modern comfort your celebration needs. Those towering steel columns that once supported Manchester's cotton trade now frame dance floors and dining layouts. The exposed brick walls tell their own story, creating natural conversation starters as your guests explore the space. We can accommodate 350 for drinks receptions, with plenty of room for mingling between the industrial pillars, or set formal dining for 210 guests beneath the warm glow of our adjustable lighting system. Our built-in audio-visual equipment handles everything from wedding speeches to live bands, while the flexible lighting lets you transform the atmosphere as your event unfolds. The statement flooring adds unexpected flair against the heritage brickwork, giving photographers endless creative possibilities. Climate control keeps everyone comfortable year-round, whether you're hosting a summer wedding reception or a December celebration. The room's layout adapts beautifully to different party styles. We've hosted everything from relaxed cocktail parties where guests flow freely through the space, to seated dinners with designated dance areas. The industrial aesthetic provides a striking backdrop that works equally well dressed up with flowers and fabric or left raw for more contemporary celebrations. Getting here couldn't be simpler with Old Trafford nearby and excellent transport links throughout Manchester. Our catering team works directly in the space, ensuring hot food arrives hot and drinks service runs smoothly. Full disabled access means all your guests can enjoy every part of your celebration, while reliable Wi-Fi keeps everyone connected. The Archives brings together Manchester's industrial heritage with everything modern events demand, creating memorable celebrations in truly distinctive surroundings.
