Engine Room at The Burgess Foundation
About this space
This is our one main room, a converted mill space that once housed the machinery of the industrial revolution, and now hosts conferences, workshops and away-days for The British Council, Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester City Council and much more, along with numerous literature, comedy and classical music events.
Our cafe space, a great break-out room for our superb in-house catering, is directly attached to this space and works very nicely for registration desks and merch displays.

About The Burgess Foundation
The International Anthony Burgess Foundation is a unique venue within one of Manchester’s oldest mill buildings – plenty of brickwork akin to a New York comedy club – and houses Burgess’s own furniture and musical instruments to create a distinctive location for your event.
The room can seat up to 100 people, depending on how you want to set up, and has modern audio-visual facilities and excellent wi-fi. The venue is ideal for concerts, readings, conferences, launches, plays, workshops, away-days, lectures, film screenings, discussion and in-conversation events as well as receptions, lunches and private soirees. Just turn up with your laptop, plugin and go — we have an experienced and friendly team who will help your event run with the minimum of fuss.
We also have a café bar which is perfect for a relaxed location for your audience or guests before they move into the main venue. Refreshments and catering can be provided and we offer buffet meals and drinks receptions, tea, coffee, cakes and snacks to suit all budgets.
