Winter Gathering at Manchester Fire Station – Apex Self Storage

What is happening within the wall of some of Manchester’s most iconic buildings? With Christmas just around the corner (well, almost) Manchester’s festive events are starting to pop up all over the city. One of the new and most eagerly anticipated offerings this season is the Winter Gathering at London Road Fire Station, opposite Piccadilly Station.

Just a ten minute drive from Apex Self Storage Hulme site, this former fire station (opened in 1906) has become THE place to hold quirky outdoor events, the most recent being the Manchester Print Fair. One of the most stunning listed buildings in the city, the former fire station has become part of an ongoing trend to utilise disused buildings. October’s Indy Man Beer Convention took place in the Victorian Baths, another stunning venue (and also available for private hire, if you fancy a wedding with character).

So what is prompting this wave of interest in our old (and sometimes derelict) buildings? Manchester’s historic buildings have long been admired. With many old warehouses being converted into apartments, restaurants and bars. It was only a matter of time before its stunning, landmark buildings became utilised. The interest in vintage and things of ‘substance’ also stems from Manchester’s huge student population. Students are attracted to the city for its culture, history and nightlife (as well as its outstanding Universities!).
