EventCity Manchester

EventCity is Manchester's purpose-built exhibition and events venue, located next to the Trafford Centre in Trafford Park. The venue provides around 30,000 square metres of flat exhibition floor space and hosts trade exhibitions, consumer shows, conferences, product launches and large-scale events throughout the year.

Expo Hire hires furniture and catering equipment to exhibitors, event organisers and caterers working at EventCity Manchester.

Equipment for Exhibitions

Exhibitors at EventCity use poseur tables and bar stools on their stands to attract visitors and hold conversations. Tablecloths dress trestle tables and display counters. Larger stands benefit from round tables and chairs for meeting and demonstration areas. For a full overview of exhibition stand furniture, see our exhibition hire pages.

Equipment for Awards and Dinners

EventCity hosts awards ceremonies and gala dinners within its main hall. These events need round tables, banqueting chairs, white linen, crockery, cutlery and glassware, along with bar equipment for the reception.

Conferences and Seminars

EventCity hosts multi-day conferences alongside its exhibition programme. Conference sessions need chairs in theatre or classroom layouts. Networking breaks and buffet lunches use trestle tables with tablecloths, along with poseur tables and bar stools for informal conversation areas. When a conference gala dinner is held in the same building on the evening of day one, round tables, banqueting chairs and full place settings can be delivered and set during the daytime session, ready for the evening.

Outside Caterers

Outside caterers working at EventCity can hire catering equipment including bain maries, chafing dishes and serving trays from us. Equipment is delivered clean and collected after the event.

What exhibitors typically need

A 3m x 3m stand at EventCity typically needs 1 poseur table, 2 bar stools and a fitted tablecloth. A 6m x 3m stand often adds a trestle table with tablecloth, a second poseur table and extra seating. Stands with a client meeting area use 2 round tables and 8 chairs. Expo Hire delivers direct to EventCity and can label items by stand number or company name to simplify set-up on build day. Large orders qualify for the large order deposit scheme.
