about eventcityEventCity launched as ‘the exhibition space’ in March 2011, and has since hosted numerous jaw dropping events and shows. It has over 28,000 sqm of space spread over 4 halls, 3000 FREE car parking spaces and a 60 bay coach park. At EventCity, we benefit from our TRAFFORDCITY location which is visited by over 40 million people every year, has 4 hotels on site and 6000 hotel rooms within a 5 mile radius. Surrounded by world-class retail, leisure, entertainment and commercial facilities, from skydiving to skiing, trampolining to treadmills, we are in the midst of a vibrant destination that’s on the doorstep of Manchester City Centre and everything it has to offer. Just 20 minutes from Manchester International Airport, and with direct access to Manchester’s motorway links and national rail network, this is a destination that’s altogether different and just waiting to be discovered. EventCity is the ideal venue for any type of event - from a small social gathering to an exhibition for hundreds of thousands and everything in between.

It covers just under 6,000 sqm, which can be sub-divided into 3 sections (each being 2,000 sqm). Black star cloth is available in Hall 4, around the entire perimeter, which doubles up as black drape if needed. It is fitted with dark grey carpet tiles, environmental lighting (colour wash, pinspots, cable dimming system and rigging), a state of the art zoned sound system and trussing and rigging points.
