The North West of England boasts numerous event venues suitable for conferences, exhibitions, weddings, parties and more. Manchester and Liverpool in particular offer fantastic locations to suit all kinds of events, whether commercial or private.
The best way to source a venue in the North West is to use an event management company in Manchester or an event management company in Liverpool.
Here's a rundown of the 10 most popular function venues in these two cities.
The Lowry, Manchester
The Lowry is located on the waterfront in Salford Quays, just outside Manchester city centre, and opened its doors in 2000. It offers several function rooms to suit any kind of event, large or small. As a visual and performing arts centre it is completely suited to holding conferences, dinners and even weddings.
Manchester United Football Club, Old Trafford
Perhaps the most famous football club in the world, Manchester United's Old Trafford ground holds over 75,000 and in addition the world class facilities include various suites for conferences, events and weddings. Some overlook the pitch for those wanting the feel of a sporting venue, while others offer different views, making Old Trafford a versatile venue to suit most occasions.
The Bridgewater Hall, Manchester
Bridgewater Hall in Manchester city centre is an international concert venue offering five different spaces to suit conferences, meetings, exhibitions, dinners and receptions.

Lancashire County Cricket Club, Manchester
Another sporting venue boasting impressive function suites, Lancashire County Cricket Club is a more sedate setting, as you would expect.
