A match made in football heaven, Love Factory is proud to announce its
programming for Qatar World Cup 2022 with a curated and exclusive approach
beyond the usual screening.
The adaptive venue, hidden in plain sight on Dantzic Street, behind Manchester’s
landmark N.O.M.A. and a short 10-minute walk from Manchester Victoria, is set to be
the city’s brand-new cultural destination.
Opening its door this Winter, the Love Factory x Qatar World Cup 2022 will see the
action play out on the huge indoor central screen alongside additional projectors
throughout the venue – where all guests, no matter where they are sat, will have a
perfect, uninterrupted view.
In collaboration with Carling Brewery, the Official Carling Fan Zone will take over the
cavernous warehouse alongside General Seating. Alternatively, guests can catch the
action from the dedicated Singing Terraces – a standing area as an ode to the days
when the grounds rarely had seating.
Wherever guests choose to base themselves, all zones are in easy reach of an
extensive food and drink selection from leading North West independent traders,
including Ate Days A Week – home of the city’s best award-winning handmade pies.
Ate Days A Week will be serving special rotating pie menu made for different
countries playing. And more traders will be announced soon.
For those who would like to experience the World Cup as a group, the Hospitality
Boxes located on the mezzanine is perfect for group hire. The Hospitality Boxes
comes kitted-out with state-of-the-art flatscreens and fine-tuned sound systems –
where guests can experience every goal, counter-attack and last-minute tackle in
crystal detail, and feel the atmosphere direct from the grounds. Food and drink
packages available and delivered fresh to your box for complete privacy in the lap of
luxury.
