St Thomas Centre

St Thomas Centre is a flexible conference and meeting venue in Manchester, set within a beautifully restored Grade II listed Georgian church. The venue combines historic character with practical facilities for organisers planning conferences, seminars, workshops, training sessions, presentations, exhibitions and community meetings.

The main Ardwick Green Hall can accommodate up to 140 people in theatre-style seating, with several layout options including cabaret, boardroom, horseshoe and examination arrangements. Additional rooms provide suitable spaces for smaller meetings, training sessions, breakout discussions and evening classes. The Gaskell and Mambu rooms can be used as breakout spaces alongside the larger hall, helping organisers create a structured programme for larger gatherings.

St Thomas Centre also supports hybrid meetings and online participation, with equipment available for video-enabled events. Included facilities include Wi-Fi, reception support and access to a private accessible room. Optional equipment includes PA systems, induction loops, display screens, laptops, flipcharts and hybrid meeting technology.

Catering can be arranged for meetings and conferences, with refreshments, sandwiches, buffets and hot buffet menus available. Dietary requirements can generally be accommodated, including vegetarian, vegan, halal and gluten-free choices. The venue is fully accessible and offers practical visitor information, assistance with transport planning and recommendations for nearby accommodation.

Located close to Manchester city centre and well connected by public transport, St Thomas Centre offers a convenient setting for professional and community-focused events. Its experienced conferencing team provides support before, during and after each booking, helping organisers select room layouts, arrange equipment and coordinate the practical details of the day. The venue is intended for business, educational and community use rather than private celebrations or parties.
