About The Cotton Sheds
900 Banquet
1650 Theatre
2500 Standing / Reception
720 Cabaret
The Cotton Sheds spread across 4,533 square meters of our venue, where original brick walls rise to meet towering ceilings that once sheltered Manchester's cotton trade. These vast industrial halls now host conferences for 1,650 theatre-style, banquets for 900, or standing receptions for up to 2,500 guests. Walking into the sheds, you'll notice how the space naturally divides into distinct zones. Shed A features its own bar area and VIP mezzanine overlooking the main floor, giving your delegates a dedicated space for networking breaks or executive meetings. The exposed brickwork and steel columns create natural boundaries while maintaining the open feel essential for large presentations. Our technical team regularly configures these spaces for AGMs, product launches, and company-wide meetings. The comprehensive audiovisual setup includes everything needed for professional presentations, from projection mapping on the brick walls to crystal-clear sound that reaches every corner. Wi-Fi coverage extends throughout, and we've ensured full accessibility across all areas. The flexibility here means we can arrange cabaret-style seating for 720 when you need roundtable discussions, or clear the floor entirely for exhibition stands and demonstration areas. Many corporate groups appreciate how the industrial architecture provides a memorable alternative to conventional conference centers, particularly when launching innovative products or hosting creative workshops. Near Old Trafford with excellent transport links, getting here is straightforward for delegates traveling from across the UK. Our in-house catering handles everything from working lunches to formal dinners, with menus adapted to accommodate all dietary requirements. The sheds connect seamlessly to our other spaces, allowing smaller breakout sessions in The Archives or drinks receptions in The Cellars. Every meeting here benefits from the dramatic scale and authentic character these former cotton warehouses provide.
