Join the RIBA North West Conservation, Heritage and Sustainability group for a tour and social at New Century Hall.
The iconic music venue has been updated and brought back to life by Sheppard Robson. Since its construction in 1963 for the Cooperative Wholesale Society, the well-renowned New Century Hall has played host to many famous names in music. After laying mostly vacant for years, the 1,000-capacity venue has had a much-needed transformation as part of the NOMA development.
Originally linked to New Century House next door, the refurbishment separated the hall, re-named ‘New Century’, from the house to allow both to function autonomously. Several key interventions were made to open up the Grade II-listed structure; as a result, despite being occupied over three floors, the music venue, food hall and creative college are able to work together seamlessly.
