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.

    Visited David Hockey exhibition. It was put together nicely. We went to a few different but similar in concept exhibitions in London and York. This particular one is with Hockey’s voice over explaining certain aspects of his pictures. It really adds to the whole experience. The whole experience is around 50 minutes and well worth the visit if you have a chance. The venue itself is very visitor friendly with lots of room to sit, walk or interact with members of staff. There is a cafe and a little souvenir shop. Great place to visit as a family.

    A really nice live music venue. Situated just outside of the main city centre this is a large venue with good sound and a large amount of facilities catering to everyone. Getting into and out of the venue is fairly straightforward and the night was thoroughly enjoyable.

    Great venue for the Olly Alexander Up Close And Polari concert. Very intimate and a lovely, warm setting. 10/10 (I've added a couple of the photographs and videos I took during the event.)

    I've been to 2 gigs here but I would say this is possibly my favourite Manchester venue. Keeping the venue open after the gig finishes is great there's no major rush to get out. I think the bar is reasonably priced. Possibly cheaper than bars around it. Only issues no loos in the 1st floor where the event spaces is but can live with having to go downstairs

    1st time visiting for a gig. (Bowling for soup) Great venue ,plenty of bar staff and a brilliant atmosphere.. down side 😭 The medical staff were more interested in moving you than treating you & when trying to leave due to issue before event finished security would allow emergency exit even though needed medical attention.BUt the review is about the place and it gets 4 stars. , would of been 5
