COMING SOON: A huge food, drink and entertainment hall is opening in Manchester
Exhibition will house three award-winning kitchens and two bars serving cocktails, fine wines and local beers
The city centre site that once played home to Manchester’s Natural History Museum is set to be transformed into an innovative food, drink and entertainment venue.
Courtesy of the family behind popular coffee shop and aperitivo bar Haunt, Exhibition will be a place for eclectic independent food, innovative drinks and boundary-pushing entertainment in Manchester’s vibrant city centre.
The 400-seater dining space in Exhibition will take the traditional food hall concept to another level with three award-winning kitchens serving up innovative seasonal menus.
From small plates to big sharers, guests are guaranteed an exquisite dining experience with a combination of ‘global inspiration and local heart’.

There will also be two bars moving into the space, with the first offering a selection of local beers, fine wines and premium spirits, with fresh MCR Union Lager also available straight from the tank.
The second bar will be an ode to an ever-changing ‘spirit of the season’, featuring an expertly curated cocktail menu that will celebrate seasonality.
The local vendors moving into the space will be announced in the coming weeks.
