Believe it or not, Manchester Central hasn't always been Manchester Central.

The venue is steeped in history, having spent more than half its life as a railway station before becoming the city's premier concert and exhibitions venue and now functioning as a world-class conference and events venue.

Join host Samantha Pike-Devlin, Digital Communications Executive at Manchester Central, Shaun Hinds, CEO of Manchester Central, Jonathan Schofield, local tour guide and editor of Manchester Confidential and Kate Dickson, Director of Creative Heritage, as they journey through the decades and discuss the venue's role within the city; past, present and future.
