I come here for For The Love Of Horror convention. It's a really spacious building and good for such events. The first time I visited the bathrooms were in bad condition, practically flooded but the second time they were much better. Feedback seems to have been taken on board regarding any previous issues by guests, which is always nice to see. I know some people complain about the temperature in the building but I actually think it's just right. Besides the lack of signal, which would be so nice to get sorted because it's near impossible to call/text someone if you lose them within thousands of people 😅 there's not much else to complain about honestly.

Wasn't really a fan, felt like it was in the middle of nowhere. Tram is doable but it's not as easy as other large event locations in Manchester. Event itself was not great, but wouldn't blame that on the venue.
