Upper Campfield Market Hall is a versatile event space in Manchester. In recent years it has played host to such Manchester International Festival Events as Tree and Cotton Panic! as well as events for Design Manchester and the always brilliant Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair.

The historic building is a neighbor of the Science & Industry Museum and will soon find itself on the edge of Manchester’s new cultural epicenter when The Factory opens it’s doors in 2021.
