About Jodrell Bank

Jodrell Bank is an observatory, located just a short drive from Manchester city centre, offering a unique and eye-catching venue to host your upcoming event. This very site has been recognised as a site of Outstanding Universal Value and inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list, so could you think of a more terrific venue to host your upcoming event? Perfectly suited for grand affairs, corporate gatherings and exquisite product launches, Jodrell Bank is ready and waiting to host your upcoming event.

For conferences and corporate bookings, you can have the wow factor and surprise your guests at a phenomenal location. Your guests will arrive to find they're surrounded by Cheshire countryside, just 20 miles away from Manchester. There are several meeting rooms and lecture theatres to choose from, including unique experiences such as the 3D Dome Planetarium.

On the other end of the event scale, children's parties also take place at Jodrell Bank. These packages have been newly designed to include a decorated party space, lunch for children, games and crafts, along with all day admission to the visitor attractions. If your little one loves exploring space, you couldn’t find a more magical place to host their birthday.

The venue is licensed to host any and every event for you. There are a range of spaces you can choose from, and sit down options are suitable for up to 120 people. You can always add on impressive dome shows and tours of the building if you want to truly impress your guests. You'll be able to book a sit down meal of many courses, a traditional afternoon tea, or can put on a buffet. The team at Jodrell Bank frequently work with local caterers, and so will recommend a selection that is well suited for your event.
