People’s History Museum’s (PHM) unique venue hire spaces are situated within a stunning former Edwardian hydraulic pump house. The museum has three flexible event spaces, ideal for meetings, conferences and exhibitions, receptions and wedding ceremonies. The PHM has Good to Go accreditation and excellent internet, suitable for hybrid meetings. The largest space, can accommodate up to 250 standing guests for networking or fairs.

The magnificent Engine Hall features an ornate glass ceiling and tiled walls. The Coal Store, another popular space, has authentic brick walls and a double height, vaulted wooden ceiling. The Meeting Room is a light airy space with ceiling height windows and overlooks the Engine Hall.

These unique spaces are situated on the banks of the River Irwell, within Manchester city centre’s vibrant commercial district of Spinningfields. PHM is the national museum of democracy, telling the story of its development in Britain: past, present and future. The museum explores ideas worth fighting for; ideas that can unite and bring people together. Through PHM’s inspirational venue hire spaces you too can find a place for a meeting of minds.

The museum’s small and friendly Venue Hire Team will work with you to organise your event and the in-house caterers offer innovative, locally sourced, seasonal food. PHM and our caterers are committed to providing a sustainable service and both are living wage employers.
