Mamma Mia! The Party: Opening at Medlock Square in 2027
We are delighted to confirm that Manchester City Council has approved plans for the development of a new immersive event venue at Medlock Square that will host the hugely popular, global hit Mamma Mia! The Party.
Set to open in late 2027, the purpose-built venue will welcome up to 600 guests per performance, bringing the world-renowned entertainment experience to Manchester for the very first time. Combining live music, theatre, food and storytelling, Mamma Mia! The Party will offer visitors an unforgettable night out. The original UK production at London’s O2 continues to welcome audiences and has to date delivered over 1,500 performances to over 700,000 guests from 110 countries, whilst the Stockholm production recently celebrated its 10th anniversary.
Situated between the Etihad Stadium and Co-op Live, Medlock Square will feature a vibrant mix of restaurants, bars and cafés, a new immersive Manchester City museum experience, stadium roof walk, zip-wire and abseiling attraction, as well as a 3,000-capacity covered events space that will host seasonal activations, live shows, sports screenings and brand collaborations.
Visitors will also be able to stay at The Medlock Hotel, a striking new 401-bedroom hotel, while One Medlock Square will provide modern office and wellness facilities, helping create a thriving destination that combines work, leisure and entertainment unlike anywhere else in Manchester.
With planning approval secured for Medlock Square’s latest development, work will now progress towards delivering the new venue in time for its anticipated opening in late 2027, when audiences will be invited to step into a spectacular world of music, food and storytelling at the heart of Medlock Square.
We can’t wait to see you all at Mamma Mia! The Party in Manchester soon.
