Conference Facilities

If you’re looking for a modern and conveniently located space to hold conferences, meetings, exhibitions or networking events, then we’ve got a number of amazing facilities that could suit your needs.

With campuses in both Middleton and Rochdale, we’re easily accessible from Manchester City Centre. We also provide an abundance of free parking for those visitors who choose to drive instead of accessing one of the many public transport links that can take you to us.

No matter what space you’d like to use or for what purpose, we’d love to hear from you. Please email: facilities@hopwood.ac.uk.

In the meantime, here’s a look at our most regularly requested facilities.

Middleton Campus

Conference suites:

We have two adjacent conference suites on the ground floor of our Henry West Building. These are comfortable and practical with amenities such as air conditioning, WiFi and full presentation facilities.

Each suite can accommodate 22 delegates in conference style, up to 50 in theatre style, and 30 in island style. However, if required we can remove the partition so that the venue can accommodate 70 delegates at once.

If you want to make your event stand out, then there’s no better place to hold it than in our dazzling Hopwood Theatre. It features a stage along with industry-standard lighting and audio.

The space has a capacity for 110 guests and you’ll be able to make your event as much of a production as you choose – ultimately guaranteeing that it’s memorable for all those in attendance.
