Venues

Nothing inspires attendees or provides wow-factor like a famous sporting venue. For large scale conferences or smaller meetings, sports venues have an incredible legacy that’s guaranteed to excite and motivate, and there’s often the opportunity to add to your experience with stadium tours too.

Our home city, Manchester, is famous for football with Manchester United and Manchester City attracting tens of thousands of visitors a year and Emirates Old Trafford which has just had its biggest year for cricket on record. All three venues have extensive facilities, great transport links, and promise to add a truly unforgettable element to any event.
