The Science and Industry Museum tells the story of where science met industry, and the modern world began.
It’s a story that we’re uniquely placed to tell—on the site of the oldest surviving passenger railway station, in the heart of the world’s first industrial city, today alive with innovative discoveries in science and technology.
A truly inspirational venue, the historic buildings and fascinating galleries at the Science and Industry Museum provide a unique backdrop for a variety of events. In a superb city centre location with nearby parking and good road and rail links, the Science and Industry Museum is also easily reachable from Manchester Airport.

Our venue hire team will take care of every detail, from choosing your unique space, to catering and entertainment.
