Venue Description

Designed by world-renowned architect Daniel Libeskind, Imperial War Museum North is a remarkable experience. Its striking, aluminium - clad-structure is the first UK building created by the architectural genius, proving to be a innovative and inspiring venue for corporate hospitality.

For anyone looking to impress, the Main Exhibition Space has the wow factor to provide that extra 'something' to any event. Furnished with iconic objects, including an AV8a Harrier jump jet and a Russian T34 tank, it is difficult to imagine a more dramatic setting. IWM North is exceptionally adaptable with 9 meter high, blank angled walls creating the perfect backdrop for colour and projection of corporate logos, branding or photographs with personalised messages. Whether you are holding a formal corporate or private dinner, drinks receptions, presentation or product launch IWM North is the perfect venue. IWM North can accommodate:

- 300 theatre style
- 350 guests for a dinner
- 700 for a reception

The WaterShard Cafe offers impressive views of the Manchester Ship Canal and the Quays with seating for up to 160 guests. As an exclusive bonus for any companies who choose to become a member of our Corporate Members scheme, Movers and Shapers, we offer use of the Air Shard which has a terrific view of the Manchester city skyline from its viewing platform at 29 metres and is perfect place for introductory drinks for those with a head for heights!
