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 Warehouse is a space to make an impact - taller than four double-decker buses and longer than a passenger jet.. It’s a blank canvas, equipped with a retractable wall to the Hall, a universal technical grid, anchor points across the walls, a proscenium door and direct truck access. Accommodating up to 5000 people. The only limit to this space is your imagination. Think epic concerts, large conferences and gala dinners. The Warehouse and Hall are connected by the stage and separated by a retractable wall, this allows you to reconfigure the space.

Helen Elliott
January 2025Really 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.

January 2025Went 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

January 2025Easy 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.👍☺️👏.

January 2025Great 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.
