Barton Arcade is one of the oldest surviving Victorian shopping arcades in the UK today. It is located in Deansgate in central Manchester.

Barton Arcade also features a disused Grade-II listed basement which is set to be transformed into an events space.

Spanning 10,000 sq-ft, Barton Basement sits two levels underground beneath Deansgate and spans the entire length and width of the building.

A repair and restoration programme has seen the Victorian archways unblocked, original brickwork cleaned and floor space opened up to create one interconnecting space which claims to be one of Manchester’s most unique events hire spaces.

The space will be available for events hire, whether it’s for a few hours as a photography location or a couple of months as a pop-up venue.
