Exhibition Stand Design & Build
Exhibiting at Manchester Central? 4Matix designs, builds and installs exhibition stands that help businesses make the most of their space and connect with visitors. From the first design discussion to installation at the venue, we can support your project through every stage.
Manchester Central is an exhibition and conference venue in the heart of the city, housed in a former railway station. Its Central Hall gives exhibitors a distinctive setting for trade shows and events.
A stand that works from brief to build
At a venue the size of Manchester Central, the practical details matter. Your stand needs to fit the allocated space, support your team throughout the show and be ready for visitors when the doors open.
4Matix considers layout, materials and installation from the start of the design process. We manufacture in our South Wales workshop and plan the on-site build around the requirements of your particular show. The aim is a stand that looks strong, works hard and can be delivered reliably.
About Manchester Central
Manchester Central is a conference and exhibition venue in Manchester city centre, at Petersfield, Manchester M2 3GX. Its main exhibition space, Central Hall, is a former railway station with a large, column-free floor area.
The venue also has other halls and meeting spaces, so the layout and stand requirements vary by event.
For exhibitors, the practical details matter as much as the design. Build-up access, vehicle movements and delivery arrangements are set for each event, so we plan the stand around the organiser’s requirements and the allocated installation time.
The Acoustics Company
at Education Estates

4Matix designed and built The Acoustics Company’s exhibition stand for Education Estates 2026 at Manchester Central.
The open layout gave visitors space to explore its acoustic ceiling and wall systems and speak with the team.
Overhead branding made the stand visible across the hall, while product displays and large graphics showed how the systems can be used in education settings.

What information do you need to quote for a Manchester Central stand?
Send us the event name, stand dimensions and location, budget and what you want the stand to achieve. If you have a floor plan or design ideas, include those too. We can then discuss the design and provide a quotation.
Can you help with Manchester Central’s build-up requirements?
Yes. We plan installation around the event organiser’s timetable and venue requirements. Access, unloading and delivery arrangements can differ between events, so we check the instructions for your particular show before the build.
How early should we get in touch before a show at Manchester Central?
As early as you can, especially if you need a bespoke stand. That gives us time to develop the design, agree the details and plan production and installation. If your event is approaching, contact us with the date and brief so we can tell you what is possible.
