Manchester Central
Manchester is delighted to host the Conservative Party Annual Conference from Sunday 2nd – Wednesday 5th October 2011. The conference will take place at Manchester Central, an award-winning venue built on the site of St Peters Field, the North of England’s 19th century meeting place. Thanks to the lively fringe scene, we also look forward to showcasing the abundance of venues within and surrounding the convention complex that Manchester has to offer. We hope that, as well as enjoying the conference, you will have time to explore the rest of the city and discover why Manchester really does have “everything except a beach” See you in October 2011!
