Manchester Central Convention Complex

Manchester Central the convention complex in the heart of the city In the 19th century, Manchester was one of the few cities in the UK to boast a large open meeting space in the heart of its centre. Back then, the area was known as St Peter’s Field, people from all over the North of England would meet at St Peter’s Field to debate issues of the day, be it free trade and labour reform or the burgeoning movements towards equality and democracy. Today the area is known as Petersfield, this historical part of the city is home to Manchester’s modern meeting place - a convention complex where people from all over the world can meet in style and comfort, trade ideas, do business and hold great events. At the heart of Petersfield lies one of the UK’s most flexible venues, which has been part of the Manchester skyline for over 150 years. If you were stood within its huge vaulted arches at the turn of the last century you’d be surrounded by suitcases and steam trains, but sophisticated exhibition stands are now the order of the day. In 1986 Manchester Central Railway Station was reborn to form the Greater Manchester Exhibition and Event Centre, more commonly know as G-Mex. The conversion of this landmark building was revolutionary as one of the first urban regeneration projects in the UK. G-Mex has been home to an eclectic and demanding range of events during its life; high profile political conferences, worldclass sporting events, gala dinners for

thousands, jumping pop concerts and even an indoor funfair and dance arena. The year 2000 saw the opening of the adjacent Manchester International Convention Centre (MICC) which created a focus for re-development and renewal. In January 2007, the combined facilities of G-Mex and MICC started using a new name - Manchester Central, this name is used to refer to the whole facilities onsite including a convention auditorium, a host of breakout rooms, corporate facilities, and not forgetting 13,500 sq m of exhibition space. The overall facilities within the area are known as Manchester Central Convention Complex, a name that is now firmly established within the international event marketplace. Manchester Central is currently undergoing a multi-million pound development programme. The plans include a new and extended foyer area plus extra catering and seminar spaces that will add to the venue’s appeal as one of Europe’s major convention and exhibition complexes. The development, which will cost in excess of £20 million, has been carefully planned over three phases to avoid disruption to the venue’s ongoing operation. Designed by the award-winning architects, Stephenson Bell, the development will be both sympathetic to the Grade II listed frontage as well as bringing substantial operational benefits to clients and users of the venue.

Manchester Central is a combination of exhibition and conference facilities that form a unique convention complex right in the heart of the city. For event organisers, Manchester Central has the flexibility to handle all size of events from intimate corporate functions to large scale high profile international exhibitions and conferences. The complex boasts two exhibition halls, a purpose-built auditorium and breakout rooms, plus a suite of corporate meeting facilities. The main exhibition space, Central Hall, provides a single column-free area that can be used for conventional exhibition layouts or for more unusual installations that utilise the height and character of the interior. Central Hall can also be subdivided into two smaller halls. The year 2009 promises to be an exciting year for Manchester Central as the Convention Complex is undergoing a multi-million pound redevelopment programme, which will provide greater ease of access throughout the site and additional facilities.

We’re making Manchester’s meeting place bigger and better… Work has started on the second stage of Manchester Central’s major redevelopment, creating even more choice and even better services for conference and event organisers. The first stage of the development – the creation of a new entrance and foyer space – was completed on time in November 2008, ensuring that events and conferences can continue as normal during the second stage of redevelopment work.

The next phase of the development will create additional capacity, flexibility and accessibility for Manchester Central, including a new look frontage to Central Hall that will reveal even more of the magnificent Grade II listed building.

More flexible conference, exhibition and event spaces, including corporate meeting facilities for 40 – 4,000 delegates New foyers, providing additional circulation and event spaces Clearer views of the building’s Grade II listed frontage Improved catering facilities and new public restaurant Better access and technical facilities Visit the Manchester Central website for more information or call our sales team now to discuss your next event on 0161 834 2700. www.manchestercentral.co.uk/redevelopment

The building’s £20 million facelift will give a contemporary new look to one of Manchester’s best-loved landmarks, as well as significantly enhancing the levels of service excellence that event organisers and visitors can expect.
