OUR CLIENT MEETING SPACE – tHE pATTERN ROOM

Inspired by Manchester’s textile legacy, the Pattern Room is where threads of heritage meet the fabric of future partnerships.

Our Client meeting room brings every corner of the museum into the Conference Centre. Meeting spaces in old textile factories, where clients would be brought to showcase the factory’s offering, were known as “the Pattern Room.”

Drawing on the vast history of the cotton industry in Manchester and our Textiles Gallery, the Pattern Room invites you to come and discuss your event ideas, from our diverse venue spaces, menu tasting all whilst inspiring creativity into your next event at the Science and Industry Museum.
