Finding the Right Venue
The University of Manchester has an extensive range of conference facilities, easily accessible by road, rail and air. The choice of facilities means we are able to offer conference organisers maximum flexibility with the option of of using a combination of venues across the different campuses.
We have split our venues into four separate sites: Sackville Street Campus, Oxford Road Campus, Victoria Park Campus and Fallowfield Campus with an overview for each venue including availability periods.

Sackville Street Campus
In these cost conscious times, Staff House Conference Centre offers good value for money. The venue is most conveniently situated and they serve great food! But most important of all, their friendly staff clearly show that they appreciate your business, and they do their utmost to meet your needs

Situated in the heart of the city centre, just 250 metres from Piccadilly Station, and with a multi-storey car park adjacent, the Sackville Street Campus provides a superb combination of venues and on site accommodation, making it ideal for national and international events as well as training courses and day meetings.
Oxford Road Campus
I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your hard work. We have received lots of good feedback already and the venue was very highly rated. Thank you for putting up with all my demands and managing to keep smiling! The food was also highly rated which is something that has let us down in previous years and I am therefore really pleased that everyone liked it so much. The staff were all really helpful. Please pass on my thanks to everyone involved.

Close to the city centre this campus has as its focus, the imposing Victorian buildings based around the Old Quadrangle, which form a haven from the hustle and bustle of the city just a short stroll or bus ride away.
A wide variety of top quality conference facilities, with a mixture of traditional and contemporary styles, are available including the iconic, ultra-modern University Place, featuring a 1000 seat semi-circular auditorium and the historic wood panelled Whitworth building.
Victoria Park Campus
Good venues make a significant contribution towards the overall learning experience for participants. I use Dalton Ellis Hall several times a year and regard it as the best medium size conference and training venue in the Greater Manchester region... participants regularly comment on the standard of lunches... perhaps of most importance is the staff whose attitude is unfailingly friendly, warm and helpful. There is a real sense of being looked after. I would highly recommend Dalton Ellis Hall

A short distance from the Oxford Road site, just beyond the Whitworth Art Gallery and Whitworth Park, is the historic area of Victoria Park. Many of the Victorian mansions are still there today, some having become well-equipped University halls of residence, providing event organisers with a choice of modern and traditional conferences facilities.
Fallowfield Campus
I would like to take the opportunity to thank you on behalf of NIKE and everyone involved in MUPC for the hard work and effort from all the staff at the University that went into making this event a great success. The event was a great success for NIKE and Manchester United, delivering an unforgettable experience to all the teams and some future stars of football. It was a pleasure to work with you again, and I look forward to working with you again in the future. Many thanks again for all your contributions and please pass on our thanks to the rest of the team

To the south of the city, the Fallowfield Campus is very much a separate "Conference Village", a collection of venues, all within walking distance of one another which provide the ideal and compact location for larger conferences and sporting events as well as training days. These include the historic Ashburne Hall, the corporate ambience of Chancellors Hotel and Conference Centre and the large scale meeting facilities and sports grounds of the Armitage Centre.
