Provincial Exhibitions Ltd

Company, known to have been active between the 1920s and 1971, involved in the organising and running of commercial events from venues such as the City Hall located on Liverpool Road near to Deansgate. The business had its head office in Manchester's Corn Exchange Buildings. City Hall, originally known as the Lower Hall, became an exhibition centre and was leased to Provincial Exhibitions Ltd from 1921. The company renovated the building, by then known as 'City Exhibition Hall', and it was used to host events until the 1970s. In 1983 the Hall went on to house Manchester's Air and Space Museum.
