Visiting Manchester Central

Manchester Central serves as the northern hub for Safety, Health and Wellbeing Live and Fire Safety Live. Originally opened in 1880 as Manchester Central railway station, the venue was transformed into an exhibition and conference centre in 1986. Today, it stands as a Grade II* listed building, seamlessly blending historic architecture with modern facilities to host a diverse range of events.

Situated in the heart of Manchester, this iconic venue offers over 23,000 square metres of flexible event space, accommodating up to 10,900 delegates. Its rich history and central location make it an ideal setting for two days of networking, procurement, and education.
