Aviva Studios, home of Factory International, is a global arts destination where brand, culture, community, and experience intersect to create unforgettable events. Located in Manchester's creative district, St John's, on the historic Granada Studios site, the venue is shaped by a year-round programme of internationally renowned arts, culture and entertainment.

What sets us apart is our ability to combine limitless physical infrastructure with the creative intelligence of a cultural institution — flexible indoor and outdoor space for up to 4,500 people.

Plus, every event hosted here supports Factory International's mission to widen engagement with the arts and nurture the next generation of creative talent.

What benefits does your company offer to event agencies?

We love working with creative event organisers and agencies, and since launch, have worked collaboratively to create activations for the likes of Netflix, Paramount, adidas, Automotive brands, and many more.

These are collaborative partnerships, where we open up the full range of creatives, production designers and art directors, housed here at Aviva Studios, to the agencies we work with. Either as part of the event team, or a place to bounce ideas off.

It's a big part of who we are as a venue, and the way we like to work with agencies to make the most of the spaces we have here. Its about making big, beautiful.
