Contact Theatre, Space 0

Contact is a striking events venue and creative hub, centrally located at the heart of the Corridor Manchester innovation district.

Following a transformational redevelopment, our diverse and flexible spaces are ideally suited to conferences, meetings and events. As a cutting edge arts organisation, we are also uniquely placed to deliver your event with creative flare.

Contact is a not-for-profit organisation. All of the proceeds from commercial operations help to support our work with young people, in local communities and on stage.

Contact’s ground-breaking design places it in the top 1% of sustainable public buildings in the North West. Our electricity is supplied by renewable energy sources and we operate a zero landfill policy.

Unlike traditional powered air-conditioning, our natural ventilation system ensures a constant supply of fresh, non-recycled air throughout the venue.

At Contact we strive to ensure that everybody has the best experience possible during their visit. With lift access to each floor, all of our event spaces are wheelchair-accessible. Space 1 and the Meeting Room also both benefit from a hearing loop.

We’re proud to have hosted events for Amnesty International, The University of Manchester, BBC, CBeebies, The Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, Coram Shakespeare Schools Festival and many more.





Space 0 is Contact’s stylish new ground floor events and cabaret space. This highly flexible space features a small stage with wheelchair access, and is ideal as a venue for Away Days, intimate performances, workshops and receptions.
