Love Factory is a new venue, hidden in plain sight on Dantzic Street, which will open this winter. Set to be the city’s brand-new cultural destination, you’ll find it behind Manchester’s landmark N.O.M.A. and a short 10-minute walk from Manchester Victoria.
One of the first programmes to be announced is a curated and exclusive approach to viewing the Qatar World Cup 2022 that goes beyond the usual screening.
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. These include Ate Days A Week, makers of award-winning handmade pies, who will be serving a special rotating pie menu made to represent the different countries playing. More traders will be confirmed soon.
Hospitality Boxes, located on the mezzanine, are perfect for group hire and come kitted-out with state-of-the-art flatscreens and fine-tuned sound systems allowing guests to experience every goal, counterattack and last-minute tackle in crystal detail. Food and drink packages are also available for complete privacy.
Pushing boundaries beyond the usual screening, Love Factory x Qatar World Cup 2022 will host live halftime punditry and commentators from talkSPORT providing site-specific match commentary for a genuine one-off experience.
Love Factory will also have a free to attend World Cup exhibition featuring exclusive items such as Copa 90 boot, classic football shirts worn by the world’s most legendary squads, archive images, rare posters.
Classic Football Shirts will be showcasing a collection of World Cup jerseys in an exhibition looking at past iconic World Cup moments. The collection will see England match worn shirts including 1990 Home, 1998 Home and many more torepresent historical moments shared by millions. Love Factory will be a holy grail of the world’s favourite sport, evoking powerful emotions through this exhibition display by Classic Football Shirts.
Limited coaching sessions with Football Kings Coaching will be available for kids between 5 and 13 yrs outside the ticketed match days with further details to be revealed.
Love Factory x Qatar World Cup 2022 will kick off with Five A Side Pitch campaign on Thursday 17th November with a mixture of Manchester teams including Stretford Paddock, Habitat, EATMCR, Love Factory, Classic Football Shirts, Football Kings, and Miss Kick going head to head in an influencer tournament.
