SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY MUSEUM’S NEWLY REFURBISHED CONFERENCE CENTRE
If you’re searching for a conference venue that combines heritage, innovation and flexibility, the newly refurbished Conference Centre at the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester deserves your attention. Following a major investment as part of the museum’s wider regeneration programme, this revitalised space offers a fresh, modern setting within one of the UK’s most historically significant locations.
“The service from the staff is second to none, and when you’re planning these off-site events, having a team you can rely on at the external venue is top priority.” – BBC
