Manchester is Event Collection's English headquarters — our team at Bartle House, 9 Oxford Court is embedded in the city's business community. This isn't a city we visit; it's a city we know. We understand Manchester's venues, its suppliers, and the particular energy that makes corporate events here feel genuinely alive.
What sets Manchester apart as a team building destination is the sheer variety of world-class venues. Manchester Central's Victorian Gothic grandeur, Old Trafford and the Etihad Stadium's Premier League hospitality, The Lowry on Salford Quays — and for outdoor team building, the Peak District and Cheshire countryside are within easy reach.
