Factory International’s visually stunning Hall provides a beautiful and flexible theatre and concert space. Its tiered seating can accommodate up to 1,800 people, depending on its configuration, with wheelchair access on all levels. The infrastructure of the space has been specifically designed to allow for a more immersive relationship between stage and audience, including varying stage depths, flexible stall seating and a hidden orchestra pit. The supersized stage connects the Hall with the Warehouse, meaning you can really think big – from awards ceremonies and conferences to hybrid events.

Other features include:

- Removable stalls

- Flexible layouts

- Two large feature bars with views across the city

- Proscenium wall connecting the Hall to the Warehouse

Connected to the Hall by the stage, the Warehouse is taller than four double-decker buses and longer than a passenger jet. Capable of holding audiences of up to 5,000, the space is a true blank canvas – designed to accommodate a myriad of different events. Think epic concerts, large conferences and gala dinners. A retractable wall allows you to divide the space into North and South Warehouse, providing acoustic separation and allowing multi-use across the venue at any one time.

Other features include:

- Direct articulated truck access

- Anchor points in the 21m high wall to support any kind of mount or rigging

- Universal technical grid across the ceiling

With beautiful south-facing views to the River Irwell, River Square is a truly unique outdoor events space. It is an ideal outdoor area to host pop-up brand activations, experiential marketing campaigns, live music or markets. Supplementing River Square, the Undercroft runs below Factory International, creating a covered external space and enabling activities to take place year-round.

Other features include:

- External power supply at River Square

- WiFi provision within the Undercroft

- Connected to neighbouring St John’s business and leisure district
