A little about this space
The People’s Museum is a well-loved museum in Manchester, this is your opportunity to take over the old engine room for exhibitions and events. The city is a top destination for creatives, independent businesses and musicians alike and this unique venue puts you right in the thick of it all. The space is very large and can comfortably fit 150-200 people either for dinner or standing. Although it is a very large space attached to the rest of the museum, the steps leading down to it offer privacy. The restored Edwardian design often houses the community’s artwork displaying it for guests to enjoy. The ceilings are high making the space airy and spacious. The colour of the walls is warm and inviting and the large curved windows allow tons of light through. It is a unique space and an unconventional choice for a special event.
