The company, which is developing large swathes of former dockland in Manchester and Liverpool, tells EN its ‘EventCity’ will open with its first exhibition business at the end of February 2011, offering four halls. The facility is currently operating as the Museum of Museums.
Property developer, The Peel Group, is to launch a new 25,000sqm events and exhibition space in Manchester in a massive former Argos warehouse near Trafford Centre.
The first main event will be Great Days Out, a show promoting the North’s tourist sector. The show was previously held at the Bolton Arena. EventCity marketing manager Claire Hewitson says eight consumer trade shows are signed up and confirmed talks about exhibition launches are ongoing with Clarion and Upper Street Events.
