About Communal Project Space (New..)
24 Classroom
16 Banquet
30 Theatre
60 Standing / Reception
16 Cabaret
The Communal Project Space at esea contemporary opens directly onto the Northern Quarter's creative streets, where large windows frame the energy of Manchester life outside. We've watched this bright room transform from morning workshops to evening receptions, its polished wooden floors catching the light differently as the day unfolds. Artists have projected installations across these white walls, startups have pitched to investors seated cabaret-style, and community groups have filled the space with conversation during standing receptions for up to 60 people. The flexibility works both ways, whether you need 30 chairs in neat theatre rows or 16 guests around banquet tables sharing ideas over lunch. We keep the practical elements simple and reliable. The PA system carries voices clearly across the room, Wi-Fi handles whatever your presentations demand, and our whiteboard has sparked countless brainstorming sessions. Natural light pours through those street-facing windows all day, though we can adjust the atmosphere as needed for screenings or presentations. Our kitchen serves everything from working lunches to reception canapés, with halal, vegan and gluten-free options always available. Prefer your own caterers? We're happy to accommodate. The entire space is step-free and fully accessible, with major transport links just minutes away. What makes events here different is the rotating exhibitions throughout our venue. Recent hosts have told us how the East and Southeast Asian art sparks unexpected conversations, how presentations feel less corporate when creativity surrounds you. Our team knows every coffee shop and post-event spot in the Northern Quarter, and we're always happy to share local recommendations. Book the Communal Project Space for seminars, product launches, artistic showcases or intimate receptions. We'll help shape the room to match your vision.

The Centre is very well located, in the centre of Manchester and offered a comfortable space for the meeting I had organised. The staff were very helpful and communicative, and I felt welcomed on my arrival. I was given all the information prior to the meeting. Thank yo...
