Gulliver’s Bar located on Oldham Street in Manchester’s Northern Quarter is an iconic, lively and bustling bar with a long history dating all the way back to 1865.

The bar houses two distinct yet complementary live music and performance spaces; the upstairs Ballroom – a 100 capacity gig venue with a raised stage and the downstairs Lounge – an intimate, 40 capacity space ideal for acoustic or low-key performances.

 We were thrilled to be asked to work on this iconic project as it displaced some history and culture of our home Manchester.

 We assisted on the project as a project management and quantity surveying view. The combination of space, location and ethos allows Gullivers to boast a busy calendar of live music, spoken word, comedy, theatre, film screenings and exhibitions and we ensured we portrayed this while on the scheme.
