Aviva Studios is a global destination for arts, music and culture - and an event venue like no other. Born out of Manchester International Festival. Our spaces are without limits. From product launches and brand activations to fashion shows, gigs and public events, do something a bit different here.

At Aviva Studios, we're shapeshifters and explore the art of the possible.

With up to 13,200m2 of flexible indoor and outdoor space and room for up to 5,000 people, our spaces are without limits.

Four unique, flexible spaces are available for you to use in your own way. These can be hired individually or in combination to create large-scale, impactful events, with flexibility throughout.

The Hall provides a beautiful innovative theatre and concert space, centered on flexibility. Designed to allow for a more immersive relationship between stage audience. It has tiered seating with the option to be removed altogether, with wheelchair access on all levels.

Seating up to 1264 or for seated/standing format up to 1565. The supersized stage between the Hall and the Warehouse connects each space, meaning you can really think big.

    Really enjoyed the experience of seeing David Hockney pictures in such a large format and an interesting reel to watch. Pleased we made the effort to go.

    Went to see the David Hockney exhibition. Staff always helpful and you can get a coffee and cake before you go in. The David Hockney exhibition is very good and totally immersive

    Easy to get to from Castlefield/Deansgate Metro stop, it's on the site of the old Granada Studios A huge, welcoming space for all ages. A coffee/drinks area & light bites too . Plenty of activities for youngsters. We went to the David Hockney Exhibition, it was just WOW!! It's on till 25/01/25, a 'must see'. See the photos & video🎵 for a small taster👍. I'll be watching The Factory @ Aviva Studio's website for future exhibitions.👍☺️👏.

    Great venue. Really helpful staff. A great exhibition. My only niggle maybe I am becoming a curmudgeon the small out of control human beings running around unchecked. I appreciate trying to get your offspring to engage with art at an early age but have a thought for other people who may not be so appreciative of your free range parenting. But despite that greatly enjoyed. Take the time to move around and see the show from different perspectives. Pop into Tampopo for a bite to eat afterwards. They have 30% off small plates over January.
