Spaces in People's History Museum
Engine Hall
The largest of the museum’s Venue Hire spaces; the brick and terracotta Engine Hall features vast arched windows, a vaulted glass ceiling, polished concrete floor and other original heritage features including colourful Pilkington tiles and intricate metal work. Housed in a historic Grade II listed Pump House, it is a renowned Manchester landmark. The Engine Hall is an ideal space for hosting engaging conferences, sophisticated dinners, or customised events tailored to your preferences.
Coal Store
This venue offers a unique, striking backdrop to corporate team events and product launches. The coal store's original features - redbrick walls, a high ceiling, and metal beams - have been beautifully restored and provide a setting that is both modern whilst still celebrating the building's history. The Coal Store can be hired separately or in combination with the Engine Room.
