MOSI’s new café, shop and conference facilities are now open for business as the first stage of the main building redevelopment has reached completion. Come and check them out to get a taste of what’s to come with the rest of the redeveloped building!
MOSI’s smart new shop has an expanded range of unusual gifts, educational games, books, models and toys. Too stressed by high street shopping? The relaxed environment of the beautifully-designed new Museum shop gives you time and space to find the right gift. From model aeroplanes and science kits, to history books, recycled glassware and quirky fridge magnets, there's something for everyone. On the way out you can drop into one of your favourite galleries and learn something about Manchester's fascinating history too!
The new café serves up freshly brewed coffee and a range of tasty cakes, hot drinks, sandwiches and snacks. Its lofty ceiling is a reminder that this was once part of a vast railway warehouse, and floor-to-ceiling windows allow the light to flood in. The funky new café design includes a desk inspired by the industrial steel girders seen throughout the Museum site. Relax in the comfy armchairs and people-watch in historic Castlefield.
We've already had our first corporate clients and first wedding in MOSI's plush new conference centre, which opened at the weekend! In the dedicated conference space delegates can use one of four new meeting rooms, seating between 14 and 40 people in a variety of layouts, including theatre, boardroom, u-shape and cabaret. There will also be a state-of-the-art function room which can be adapted to accommodate a wide variety of group sizes, from 50 to 350, in theatre, reception, banquet or cabaret style. The room can be used for dinner dances and can seat up to 200. When the new Revolution Manchester gallery is complete in December this will also be available for corporate hire (upto 200 people for dinner).
