Conference Events at Emirates Old Trafford | 15The Pavilion Event Space
Combining the finest traditions
of English cricket with modern,
state-of-the-art hospitality,
the award-winning Pavilion –
alongside The Point – has made
Emirates Old Trafford a leading
events and hospitality venue in
the North West. Originally built in
1857, the Pavilion underwent an
intensive £7.5m redevelopment
that was completed in 2013.
The venue is able to accommodate
up to 700 guests across the
eight suites and nine Executive
Boxes we have to offer. With a
footbridge linking The Point to
the Pavilion, delegates have easy
access to breakout rooms and
extra syndicate spaces, making
the venue unique. Our suites are
completely flexible, and can be
adapted to your every need.
Whether you’re planning a
conference, exhibition, a glamorous
dinner or a wedding, then our team
is ready to deliver an unforgettable
experience for you and your
guests. Our spacious and luxurious
facilities cater for all events big
and small, hundreds or a handful.

10. At the heart of the building, the Members’ Suite is the most versatile
and dynamic room at Emirates Old Trafford. Combining the heritage,
history and atmosphere of Lancashire’s most famous cricket pavilion
with a state-of-the-art, modern and versatile event space, the Members’
Suite is the perfect place for conferences, dinners, exhibitions and
wedding receptions.
Take a stroll outside onto the terrace, and feel the atmosphere of
150 years of first-class cricket history.
The Members’ Suite can cater for up to 200 guests for a dinner dance,
and incorporates a spacious and comfortable dining area alongside a
vast dancefloor or entertainment space. The suite is illuminated with
glowing natural daylight and has spectacular views of the famous
cricket pitch.
The suite also includes a reception area and two wing rooms – The
Library and The Honours – which can be included or sectioned off
as additional breakout areas.
The Library can accommodate 70 Theatre style and The Honours
50 Theatre style.
If your meeting, conference or party is a little smaller, then look no
further. With a capacity of up to 85 for a drinks reception the Williams
BMW Suite is an open space that is beautifully lit by tremendous
views of the cricket pitch, and is perfect for impressing your guests
with a mixture of glamour and comfort. The suite hosts a fully stocked

cricket scene images so you can feel the charm of the Club as you enjoy
your event. Much like the Williams BMW Suite, the Brown Shipley Club

finest of detail. Pin-spotting and LED lighting are available if you wish
to elegantly illuminate your event. With memories of Ian Botham,
Shane Warne and Andrew ‘Fred’ Flintoff all once toasting success within
these walls, the 1864 Suite is the perfect place to sit back, unwind and
let us entertain you and your guests. If you are looking for extra space,

16. Re-live the scene of England’s 2013 Ashes triumph, where the players
battled the Aussies for five days.
Modern in design, the Players’ Lounge is a versatile suite that can
accommodate groups of up to 60. While suitable for holding events
on its own, this space can also be successfully combined with the
Press Gallery for larger events. BASIC a Manchester charity, recently
undertook our custom Boardroom and bowling package here, combining
conference facilities in the morning with a session in the Indoor Cricket
Centre in the afternoon. A perfect solution for a team building day!

globe reporting on Lancashire and England matches, it becomes

has an enormous panoramic view of the pitch — considered one of
the best in cricket.
And if the stunning view is too much of a distraction from the speaker,
the gallery offers full-blackout blinds to ensure focus and attention.

The Old Trafford Lodge is situated just three miles away from
Manchester city centre and is easily accessible by car and public
transport. Manchester is a truly dynamic, cultural, and vibrant city
located in the heart of the North West. A hub for arts, culture, sporting
events and business, Manchester is the perfect base for delegates to
explore. On the doorstep of The Old Trafford Lodge is Manchester’s
unique waterfront destination, The Quays, home to some of the most
spectacular attractions and iconic buildings in the UK.
The Lodge
At Emirates Old Trafford we understand the importance of embracing
sustainability. As a prestigious award winning venue in the North
West we are committed to environmental, corporate and social issues:
Sustaining our environment
We are very committed to being Green and our recent development
plans have incorporated eco-friendly features. The design and build
specification of The Point was developed by the internationally-
acclaimed architects BDP in order to place sustainability/environmental
awareness at its very core. We believe that The Point is one of the
‘greenest’ event facilities in the North West. This has been recognised
by receiving the Gold Award from the Green Business Tourism Scheme.
The Point’s numerous eco-friendly features are:
– Rainwater Harvesting
– Solar Panels
– Low Energy Lighting
– Light Motion Detectors
– Solar Control
– Super Insulation
– Environmental Conditioning
– Fuel-efficient Ovens
– Pressure Bratt Pans
– Monitoring
– High Efficiency Hand-dryers
– Urinals
– Recycling
– Bike Racks
– Managing Our Social Impactomy
Managing our social impact
We are dedicated to supporting the local economy. Built into our
purchasing policy is a clause which actively encourages local
companies to compete in the purchasing process. Locally based
AJ Bell is one of our official partners. Significant amounts of our food
purchasing is done through local companies. We have also established
a herb garden in the grounds for the kitchen to use on a daily basis.
Community engagement
We have an agreement with Stretford High School to form a 20-year
partnership as part of the development of the area, to include work
placements, mentoring, input into the curriculum. The Club’s official
charity partner is The LCCC Foundation who are committed to
community projects. The LCCC Foundation has worked in partnership
with Trafford College, Job Centre Plus, Trafford Council and the National
Careers Service, highlighting our commitment to social responsibility.
