Describing itself as the biggest venue in Europe, the Manchester AO Arena is a vast location perfect for big events with a very central, fashionable location.
Venues that have a string of accolades and titles associated with them, do so for good reasons. This is particularly the case where the Manchester AO Arena is concerned. This huge venue is one of the biggest around and offers lots of room, hospitality space and a city centre location for our furniture hire UK customers
Opening in 1995, this arena is so close to the city’s central train line services it’s actually connected to one of the main stations in the area! The location alone is a huge benefit to booking this massive site for those very big occasions. The Manchester AO Arena is regularly chosen to host international sporting and entertainment events, with a large collection of hospitality suites also available for those occasions where you’d like to enjoy all the facilities on offer, including waiter service and full menus.
As the largest venue in Europe, the Manchester AO Arena (previously the Manchester Evening News Arena) can hold a staggering number of people - 21,000. Because of this, it’s ideal when you need to book an extremely large venue for functions. In fact, this location has been the site for many different international occasions, including sell out shows by Madonna and Peter Kay. Last year it was also chosen to host the 2012 Olympics Basketball warmups. In total, this arena sees over 250 events being booked at the location, with over one million visitors entering the building every single year.
When large numbers of people are expected at venues, it’s very important to get the right hire furniture to keep visitors safe and also to ensure queues move as smoothly as possible.
We often deliver items to our furniture hire Manchester customers in extremely large batches that are destined for massive functions. Past deliveries across the country include orders for thousands and thousands of white folding fan back chairs for example, with our stacking chairs also proving to be a top product for furniture hire UK clients needing lots of seating. Thanks to our spacious warehouses in both London and Manchester, our next day delivery network actually covers the entire length of the UK.
One of the items we find particularly useful for event where lots of visitors, spectators or long queues are expected are our chrome stretch barriers. These are a great furniture hire crowd control item, as they can provide guidance to guests, fans and visitors on where it is safe to stand or queue. This ensure events you may hold at the Manchester AO Arena are well organised, even when you expect thousands of people to arrive. As well as being able to choose our chrome stretch barriers, you’re also free to select our new black stretch barriers, which give extra sophistication to your functions.
When you’d like to cordon off VIP areas, such as at entrances or within rooms, then our ropes and poles are another great choice. With a great chrome finish and rich, red ropes, these are a sophisticated way to separate areas in foyers, receptions and larger rooms for your extra special guests. Freestanding screens make another great choice for large venues, as they can also create smaller exhibitions areas within a spacious location. Our screens are also an excellent backdrop when you want to introduce your event and to make areas look professional, either in receptions or on stages too.
When you’re looking to get really add some glamour to nights out and other events, then you can choose from the Manchester AO Arena’s hospitality suites.

Other packages ensure that you get into the arena first after enjoying some drinks in a private bar area. These options are great for when you want to impress guests, or if you want to enjoy some deluxe facilities with your delegates, friends and families.
