A stunning modern, contemporary and flexible space, the National Football Museum is set to become one of Manchester’s most sought-after venues. Available for evening hire, the Museum will be popular with organisers for all styles of event. In addition, on request, Cathedral Gardens can be used for marquees to generate that extra space for product launches, exhibitions and large events.

Hire Us - An Amazing Space For Inspiring Events

With the museum’s Hall of Fame as a backdrop, the Atrium at the National Football Museum is set to become one of Manchester’s most sought after venues for evening hospitality and entertaining.

It is a light, flexible and contemporary space able to accommodate up to 250 for dinner or 400 for receptions. Combine this with state of the art technology – inbuilt colour wash lighting, a suspended LED ellipse and plasma screens that can be programmed to display corporate logos, wording and presentations - and you have the perfect setting for a host of events.

The Hall of Fame will be updated yearly and will feature nationally recognised legends – an inspiration for all attendees. It is a unique space that can be accessed through a turnstile or private entrance dependent on the style of event being held.

Unusually for a city centre there is also outside space that can be used for drinks receptions in the summer months, allowing even more flexibility for events at the museum. Should you require an interactive start to your event please ask for details of hiring the penalty shootout and goalkeeping activities; we will be delighted to discuss how this can be incorporated into your evening.
