Manchester's Grade II-listed former Freemasons Hall reopens this week as Manchester Hall following completion of a multimillion-pound restoration programme.
Manchester Hall is now a versatile conference venue which will host conference, exhibitions, meetings, workshops and training sessions for groups between 20 and 200 delegates.
All meeting spaces will be equipped with the latest technology with reliable high-speed wi-fi throughout, professional audio and visual equipment, ICT and PA equipment.
The former Freemasons Hall dates from 1929. The developers have worked alongside English Heritage on its renovation and refurbishment. Hence the building’s period details including pillars, oak panelling and intricate plasterwork as well as the building’s unique 'floating staircase' have all been retained and enhanced.
Masons Restaurant Bar on the ground floor at Manchester Hall officially opens on 3 November.
The building's rooftop terrace, expected to be the largest in Manchester, is scheduled to open early in 2018.
Manchester Hall is located in Bridge Street, Spinningfields close to Deansgate in the centre of Manchester. Manchester Hall is within easy walking distance of: Manchester Piccadilly, Manchester Oxford Road and Manchester Victoria stations.

The World Museum in Liverpool is set to launch new events space.
The additional space will enable the Museum to host events for up to 300 delegates.
The new space at the World Museum is situated on the ground floor of what was once the adjacent Technical School of Liverpool.
The redevelopment features the building's original architecture as well as the historic painted plasterworks which adorn the walls and ceilings. The room also benefits from having its own entrance.
The new room will seat up to 150 guests for dinner or 200 for a drinks reception. The area can also be expanded to include a part of the museum previously unseen by the public along with the atrium - thus increasing delegate capacity to around 300 guests.
The new events space will open at the World Museum in November 2017.
The World Museum is located in William Brown Street in the heart of Liverpool and just a few minutes’ walk from Liverpool Lime Street station.
