About the venue

Oddfellows Hall offers exceptional 21st-century meeting spaces set within the grandeur of a Grade II listed building.

Impressive both inside and out, it stands as a proud reminder of the University's heritage and Manchester's rich history, and creates a striking contrast to the ultra-modern and contemporary Nancy Rothwell and Engineering Buildings just next door.

The intricate Edwardian Baroque style of Oddfellows Hall delivers elaborate, highly decorative features throughout and the meeting rooms, available for booking all year round, have been sympathetically restored whilst offering modern meeting spaces.

References to Oddfellows Hall's past as the home of the Oddfellows Society can be found throughout the building, from the names of the rooms to the crest featured on the striking stained glass staircase window, which reflects the society's motto: friendship, love and truth.

This is an ideal venue for interviews, away days, training events and smaller conferences.
