Situated on Oxford Road at the heart of The University of Manchester campus, Manchester Museum offers a variety of unique spaces available to hire for your meeting or event. Our in house conference team would love to hear from you and support your event. Please contact us and we will get in touch as soon as we can to discuss your request in more detail.
We have a wealth of spaces which were custom-built for conferences and meetings of all kinds. The Kanaris Lecture Theatre can be set for presentations and films, conversations, workshops and team building, boardroom meetings, and so much more. We also offer the Conference Room for smaller meetings, which is a bright and sunny room with views over Waterloo Place and University Green.
We’ve hosted intimate retirement dinners, corporate drinks receptions for hundreds of guests, networking events, and so much more. The natural history displays in Living Worlds and our Fossils and Dinosaurs Gallery provide wonderful talking points – they also make for stunning photo opportunities! We offer a wide variety of catering, with classic and contemporary dishes. We can also set up equipment for background music and speeches.
We offer unrivalled spaces for your special day. From saying “I do” with Stan the T. rex in the Fossils and Dinosaurs Gallery to dining with a polar bear, tiger and a sperm whale in the Living Worlds Gallery, we offer unique spaces unmatched anywhere else in the city. It’s guaranteed to be a memorable day.
