Hope Mill, a Grade II listed building, has been a cornerstone of Manchester’s industrial legacy since 1824 and was the first cotton mill to be built in the urban suburb of Ancoats.
Neighboring the Ashton Canal and just 10mins walk from Piccadilly it is now home to a community of artists, creative businesses and now a brand new 600* person capacity events space – The Engine Room.
Occupying the old loom warehouse this freshly renovated venue opened in Sept ’15 has already held many events such as Upper Space’s Politika, the Fingers Crossed exhibition and AWOL Residents 10th Annual Opening Evening. It’s exposed red brick walls, quintessentially Mancunian feel and expansive dimensions make it an impressive and adaptable space.
With 2 adjoining open plan rooms (The Engine Room 145sqm & The Shed 190sqm) it’s ideal for exhibitions, film shoots, photography hires, theatre shows, gigs, film screenings, launches, indoor festivals, product launches, pop-up projects, community events and conferences. The two areas have a joint capacity of 600 persons.* With it’s own toilets, movable bar, high ceilings and flexible attitude it’s an ideal blank canvas for organisers looking for a self-contained venue with plenty of space to create.
