Manchester Central, one of the UK’s largest has announced it will welcome nearly half a million through its doors (13 per cent uplift) during its 2025 season, contributing a forecasted £130m into the city region. The growth has been attributed, in part, to the notable trend of organisers, including Hyrox, Accountex and the Destination and Caravan Show all choosing to add Northern editions to their event calendars to tap into the burgeoning northern market.
