The UoM team are exemplary and couldn't be better partners to work with on conferences and events. Throughout the process the team are supportive and pro-active, right through from planning an event to delivery and excellent catering on the day. The Whitworth Hall is an awe-inspiring setting to host conferences and the UoM team are every bit as impressive. We love working with UoM and will continue to do so for as long as we can.Joe Roche, GM, FinTech North
The neo-Gothic Whitworth Building is a real Manchester treasure. This elegant, Grade II listed venue offers the stunning Whitworth Hall available for meetings for up to 600, banquets for up to 300. It is also a recognised film location.
Adjoining the Whitworth Hall is the imposing Council Chamber and nearby are six boardrooms seating 12 to 24 delegates. The adjacent Christie's , has a sophisticated and calm atmosphere providing a welcome escape from the business of the day, and can be used for drinks receptions and private dinners.
The Whitworth Building's stunning architecture also makes it a popular choice for weddings. Located at the centre of the campus, it is no more than a 5 minute walk from any of the other lecture buildings including the iconic University Place, where the two venues can be combined for major conferences.
