Description
The National Cycling Centre, located on the Etihad Campus, Manchester, is renowned
for hosting major sporting events. It’s the home of British Cycling and training ground to some of the world’s best riders – both past and present – from Sir Chris Hoy MBE, Dame Laura Kenny DBE, and Sir Jason Kenny CBE to Emma Finucane MBE and Bethany Shriever. With seating for 3,400 overlooking the velodrome and 1,800 in the BMX arena, the centre, often referred to as the Medal Factory, has been a major catalyst for Britain’s cycling successes, nurturing world class riders in track, road, BMX and
mountain biking disciplines over the last three decades. It is a venue which is open to
community grassroots beginner sessions, catering for all abilities and skillsets.
At the National Cycling Centre, we’ve hosted many conferences, exhibitions and unforgettable events such as ICE Bike’s Trade Show, SOPHOS Conference Day and Manchester Beer Festival, to name a few. Our conference and exhibition spaces are truly unique. Choose your event setup whether it’s on the magnificent track centre,
the upper concourse overlooking the velodrome track, the concourse on the ground floor or our two hospitality boxes. The ground floor concourse is a great space for exhibitors, retailers or food and beverage. Our two trackside hospitality boxes provide an ideal location for private lunches, dinners, meetings or receptions as they offer
excellent views of the track.
