25 February 2026

A stone’s throw from the city centre, but way beyond what you’d expect, Medlock Square is a destination unlike any other.

Located in the heart of the action, between the iconic Etihad Stadium and next-generation, live entertainment arena, Co-op Live.

The newest chapter in the evolution of the Etihad Campus, Medlock Square is a year-round 365 entertainment destination. Mancunians, event-goers and families will be able to come together and enjoy world-class entertainment, mouth-watering eateries and immersive experiences and events.

Medlock Square will build on the area's existing heritage of delivering large-scale sport and music spectacles even further, by creating a place that can play host to an ever-changing calendar of events, arts and culture.

Everything from spontaneous mid-week meet-ups, intimate gatherings to special weekend celebrations. From martini glasses to samba classes. Downward dogs to maki rolls. Arty pop-ups and pastry top-ups. Firing up taste buds, setting off goosebumps.

So, expect diverse and delicious food and drinks, from speciality coffee and all-day dining through to signature restaurants and exclusive dining experiences.

Enjoy spine-tingling stadium roof walks, a zip-wire and abseiling, not to mention a new immersive Manchester City museum experience.
