About AO Arena Bowl (New..)
1000 Banquet
2500 Theatre
4500 Standing / Reception
618 Cabaret
The AO Arena Bowl transforms from empty arena floor to whatever your event demands. We've hosted everything from 4,500-strong product launches with guests flooding the standing area, to intimate seated dinners for 1,000 where the space feels surprisingly personal despite its scale. Our technical setup handles the heavy lifting. The stage has hosted everyone from keynote speakers to full bands, with lighting rigs that can create subtle ambiance for corporate presentations or full concert-style effects for party nights. The PA system carries crystal-clear sound to every corner, whether you're announcing award winners or pumping out dance floor anthems until 2am. Getting here couldn't be simpler - Victoria Station sits literally 70 meters away, so your guests step off trains and trams straight to our doors. Those driving find proper parking spaces waiting, not the usual Manchester scramble for a spot. We configure the space to match your vision. Theatre-style works brilliantly for 2,500-seat conferences where everyone needs clear sightlines to presentations. Cabaret layout suits 618 guests who want to network over drinks while watching entertainment. The banquet setup accommodates 1,000 diners comfortably, with proper elbow room and space for service staff to work efficiently. The Bowl's infrastructure means no compromises. Air conditioning keeps things comfortable even when thousands pack the floor. WiFi handles the load when hundreds of phones start streaming. Power points are where you need them, not where you wish they were. From pharmaceutical launches requiring precision timing to wedding receptions where the dance floor stays packed past midnight, the AO Arena Bowl delivers the scale, flexibility and technical capability your event needs. Manchester's most adaptable large venue space awaits your transformation.
