About The Venue
1000 Standing / Reception
200 Seated
Step into The Venue at The Union and you'll find yourself in Manchester's most adaptable event space, where 1,000 guests can gather under soaring skylights or 200 can sit comfortably for presentations. We've hosted everything from thunderous concerts that shake the rafters to fashion shows that transform our open floor into a runway, and each time the space reinvents itself completely. Our stage has seen bands bring crowds to their feet and speakers command attention at conferences. The fully integrated sound and lighting rig means we can dial up the atmosphere from subtle mood lighting to full concert production at the touch of a button. When daylight streams through our skylights, we create bright, energising environments perfect for daytime gatherings. Come evening, our blackout blinds drop and the space transforms into whatever you envision, whether that's a pulsing dance floor or an intimate performance venue. The licensed bar keeps drinks flowing throughout your event, while our catering team handles everything from quick refreshments to full dinner service. We've watched our air conditioning save countless summer events from becoming uncomfortable, and our cloakroom means your guests can properly let loose without worrying about their belongings. Getting here couldn't be simpler. Oxford Road Station sits practically next door, with trams stopping just around the corner. Our event management team works alongside you from first enquiry through to the last guest leaving, handling the technical details so you can focus on your celebration. The Venue's central Manchester location puts hotels, restaurants and late-night transport all within easy reach. From society balls to cultural celebrations, product launches to award ceremonies, we provide the canvas and you bring the vision. Our additional equipment hire means we can accommodate almost any technical requirement, making The Venue genuinely ready for whatever party you're planning.
